Barcelona have agreed a £28m deal to bring Lyon winger Memphis Depay to the Nou Camp.
Ronald Koeman has been keen on signing the 26-year-old, who he knows very well from his time coaching the Dutch national team.
Depay is set to travel to Barcelona in the coming days to complete a medical, and it is hoped he will be presented as a Blaugrana player later in the week.
It could mean that Depay might be available for Barcelona’s opening game of the LaLiga season, which is on September 27 against Villarreal.
Koeman has only recently been appointed as manager of Barcelona replacing former coach Quique Setien.
The club are hoping to bounce back strong after a disastrous season where they lost the LaLiga title to their great rivals Real Madrid, and were humiliated in their Champions League exit following an 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich.
