Memphis Depay sent out a transfer message to Barcelona after finding the back of the net in the Netherlands’ 3-1 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Sunday.
Depay started and finished a move in the 55th minute, sweeping home from Denzel Dumfries’ cross, to add to Georgino Wijnaldum’s two first-half strikes.
This earned Wijnaldum an impressive FC player rating of 8.3 in this UEFA Nations League clash.

This performance will surely have alerted Barcelona, who attempted to sign Depay in the summer transfer window.
Blaugrana manager Ronald Koeman, who coached Depay for Holland, has made no secret of his admiration for the Lyon attacker.
Depay has five goals and three assists in all competitions this season for club and country, averaging 3.3 shots a game and an eye-catching seven dribbles per 90 minutes.
His contract expires at the end of the current season and, although Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has said he doesn't want to sell Depay midway through the season, Barcelona are expected to test their resolve with a new bid in January.
