And before the season begins, manager Ronald Koeman had dropped a huge hint regarding some new arrivals.

It was earlier reported that Barcelona had submitted a bid of €30 million plus add ons to Lyon for Memphis Depay, who is understood to have agreed personal terms with the club. However, the move was stalled after La Liga banned the Catalan club from signing new players as the club are in a financial crisis and have asked them to generate money from sales first.
Barcelona till now have sold the likes of Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic and Luis Suarez but all those players have left for free or on a little to no transfer fee. So despite this sales sufficient funds might not have been generated which could see more delay on the signing of Memphis Depay.
