Rumour Has It: Barcelona close to Depay, Wijnaldum deals as Suarez agrees Juventus terms
As Luis Suarez seemingly nears a Barcelona exit, the LaLiga giants could be getting close to two additions.
Barca were given a huge boost on Friday as star Lionel Messi announced he would stay at the club for another season.
But there are still set to be moves at Camp Nou.
TOP STORY – BARCELONA CLOSE TO DEPAY, WIJNALDUM DEALS
Barcelona are close to deals for Lyon star Memphis Depay and Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, according to AD.

Goal reports Barcelona are confident of landing Wijnaldum, who is out of contract next year.

- With Messi staying at Barcelona, perhaps Manchester City will turn their focus elsewhere. Gianluca Di Marzio reports the Premier League giants are set to make a new offer – of at least £66.8million (€75m) – for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
- The other half of Manchester are enduring frustrations of their own. The Daily Star reports Manchester United are preparing to walk away from a deal for Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho due to the Bundesliga club wanting £110m (€123.5m) for the forward.

- While Zlatan Ibrahimovic is staying at Milan, the Serie A club may be looking for more firepower. Tuttosport reports they are again considering a move for Real Madrid forward Luka Jovic, who struggled in his first season in the Spanish capital.
- Also at Milan and Fabrizio Romano reports they are close to reaching an agreement with Chelsea for midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko. It would be a loan for €3m (£2.7m) with an option to buy for €30m (£26.7m).
