Barcelona forward Memphis Depay finds himself in a difficult situation heading into the final few days of the summer transfer window.
The 28-year-old has been at the club for only year but finds himself staring at the exit doors after the arrivals of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha this summer. The Dutchman has fallen down the pecking order and has been told to find a new club for himself.
Until last week, it looked like Depay would be on his way to Juventus. However, the move collapsed as the Bianconeri opted to sign Arkadiusz Milik instead.
Now, Depay finds himself stranded at Camp Nou, not being a big part of Xavi’s plans but not many suitors in the market for his services.
Amidst this, Adrian Sanchez has provided an update on the situation of Memphis. The journalist claims that the Netherlands international is on the radars of several club, but he is only perceived as Plan B in place of their primary targets by the interested parties.
There has been interest from Depay’s former club Manchester United, with exploratory contacts made to assess the possibility of a transfer. However, given the imminent arrival of Antony at Old Trafford, the Red Devils might decide not to pursue the Dutchman.
So, there would be a chance that the ex-Lyon ace could end up staying at Spotify Camp Nou, which the forward is open to doing, even though he is unlikely to receive regular minutes on the pitch.
Even with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s potential move to Chelsea, Depay would likely be behind Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres in the pecking order and will have to share game-time with them.
