Barcelona are confident of completing a free transfer for Memphis Depay next week, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Talks between the Spanish giants and the Dutch forward, who is out of contract at Lyon at the end of this month, are close to reaching a final agreement.

Barca are wary however of any last minute hitch, having been equally confident of signing Gini Wijnaldum before he made a late switch to Paris Saint-Germain instead.
