Is he leaving Barca? Memphis clarifies his situation in the locker room

They are a few the folders of 'urgent' that has the FC Barcelona to little more than a month that it finalise the market of signings estival. Although there is sufficient time -in the most positive stage-, the club has the obligation to speed up his 'operation gone out' as soon as possible put the debut in LaLiga will be in two weeks, on 13 August in front of the Ray Vallecano, and to day of today are not inscribed any of the signings. If they do not produce important exits or activates the third 'crowbar', the debut of the 'cracks' will delay more than what the Barcelona wanted to.

In the middle of the 'chaos', the name of Memphis Depay -in addition to the 'case Of Jong'- is the first that appears in the Barcelona diary. It is not a secret for anybody that the Dutch has remained without gap in the plans of Xavi Hernández after it completed the renewal of Ousmane Dembélé, the signing of Raphinha and, especially, the incorporation of Robert Lewandowski. The club has asked him that it look for a new destination.

It does some days had desvelado that Xavi had spoken with Memphis to explain him his current situation (and of face to the future) in the team. The Barcelona trainer would have been very sincere with him and exposed all his letters on the table, leaving him clear that with the presence of Lewandowski, Dembélé, Raphinha, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, will have minimum opportunities to see minutes. The egarense advised him that it did his cases and look for a new team in where it can give a jump of quality and follow his career futbolística.

Nevertheless, a new information of the newspaper 'SPORT' leaves clear that the situation of the Barça with Memphis is more complicated of what seemed and that the 'serial' will extend by piss time. The player does not have intention to facilitate his way to the exit of the Spotify Camp Nou and, by the contrary, everything seems to indicate to that will put resistance, because his intention is to fulfil the year that subtracts him of agreement (until 30 June 2023).

In fact, it has left him clear to his mates of changing room that will litigate for winning a place in this 2022-2023. As it has aimed the before quoted source, the Dutch player has confessed that "although they avenge the six better forwards, I follow. I will be able to with them", doing upsetting that has the right after having arrived does so alone a year like free agent and 'forgiving' a lot of money in question of wage.

The position of Memphis

The player does not arrive to understand how the Barça wants to use him only to do box, remembering that the intention of the blaugrana is to sell him by a near figure to the 20 million euros, although the only team that has presented an offer (Tottenham) only has put €17m on the table. He same refused the possibility because it does not want to return to the Premier League, after his go through the Manchester United. In any case, his situation is in a key point and if the Barcelona want to 'undo' of him, will have to act very soon.

'SPORT' Has aimed that the solution to his folder could be in that the Barça arrive to an agreement with the footballer to leave it leave free, an alternative that would help to do gap in the changing room, but that grieve and would have incidence in the 'fair play' financial, place Memphis has not earned a big wage in his first year like Barcelona.
