The coach of FC Barcelona left Luis Suárez out of the squad and is struggling to set an offensive with only Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann. The rest of the attacking options are good, but way too young such as Anso Fati, Pedri or Ousmane Dembele. That’s way Koeam claims that he wants a new forward.

Memphis Depay is 26 years old, he is experienced enough to play for a big time despite his failure at Manchester United. The problem is that now he his Olympique Lyon star, and the French club does not like the idea of losing him. So, the Dutch coach looked for a Dutch option and that is Donyell Malen.

The PSV player is only 21 years old. He played on the second team of PSV until 2018 and then started playing on the main team, where he scored 32 goals in 77 matches, not bad for a wonderkid. Only this season Malen has already scored five times and gave two assist.

Besides, he played four matches for Netherlands International Team under the coach of Ronald Koeman. FC Barcelona’s coach knows about his potential and his versatility on the pitch. He seems to be exactly what the team needs, plus he is very similar to Memphis Depay, but younger.
