| Memphis Depay scores during the match between FC Barcelona and RCD Mallorca, corresponding to the week 34 of the Liga Santander, played at the Camp Nou Stadium, in Barcelona, on 1st May 2022. |
Barcelona coach Xavi has reportedly given the club
the green light to sell Memphis Depay this summer if a decent offer arrives.
The Dutchman ended his first season at Barca as the
team’s joint top scorer but is not in Xavi’s plans for the future, according
to Diario AS.
Barca informed Memphis’s agents of the situation
earlier this week in a meeting at the club and will let him leave for a fee of
around €25 million.
Xavi’s seems willing to do without Memphis because
he is hoping to have Raphinha in his squad next season and potentially even
Ousmane Dembele too.
Barca also have Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati as wide
options, while Ez Abde and Alex Collado may also get chances in the first team
if they can impress Xavi.
Memphis took to social media
this week with a fairly cryptic post which AS reckon is because
he’s “hurting” about the decision taken by the club.
The Dutchman is still expected back for pre-season
and could even make the club’s US tour, but the decision that his time at the
club is up has been taken and “there is no turning back.”
