Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano: Latest updates on Depay and Aguero

The transfer window is inching closer and closer as Barcelona look to reinvigorate their squad in order to be a competitive force domestically and in Europe next season. As a result, the Blaugranas’ pursuit of their primary transfer targets Memphis Depay and Sergio Aguero is hotting up.

According to the ever-reliable Fabrizio Romano, talks are progressing steadily with Sergio Aguero, who has been heavily linked to the Catalans since he announced his decision to leave English giants Manchester City in the summer once his contract is up.

Memphis Depay, meanwhile, recently announced that he has parted ways with the SEG Agency and will soon take a call on his future himself with the aid of his lawyers. Barcelona are now reportedly in contact with Dutchman directly to negotiate a transfer. The length of the deal is supposedly not too long, only two or three years.

This is similar to the previously reported duration of Aguero’s deal as well. Depay has already come extremely close to signing for Barcelona, while Aguero is now the board’s preferred choice and also seems keen on playing alongside his great friend and compatriot Lionel Messi.

Busy weeks are sure to follow in the Barcelona camp. As Ronald Koeman’s future at the club is also yet to be decided, it will play a major part in deciding whether the Catalans go for Depay or Aguero.
