PSG to hijack Barcelona's move for Memphis Depay?

Lyon forward Memphis Depay has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Paris Saint-Germain.

Depay is enjoying a terrific campaign in Ligue 1 with six goals and four assists coming from 14 appearances.

However, the 26-year-old's contract expires in the summer, leaving the Netherlands international keen to eventually link up with Barcelona.

According to Le Parisien, PSG are also showing an interest in the attacker, who featured on Sunday evening as Lyon beat the French champions at Parc des Princes.

The report suggests that Depay is appreciated by fellow frontmen Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, a key factor if PSG are to follow up their initial interest.

While Barcelona are able to hold official discussions in January, PSG would need to wait until later in 2021 unless they can agree a fee with their domestic rivals.
