New Barcelona forward Memphis turned down more financially lucrative offers from multiple clubs before signing for the Catalan club, according to a report in the Spanish media today.

The ex-Manchester United player was previously playing for Olympique Lyonnais in France, but his contract was running out this summer. He decided to sign a two-year deal with Barcelona on a free transfer after much speculation.

According to the Spanish reports, Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman was the decisive factor in making him choose Barcelona over a bigger paycheck elsewhere.

The two Dutchmen worked together as part of the national team set up meaning they already have a good working relationship. Barcelona was until recently chasing Inter’s Lautaro Martinez.
