Barça defines its position regarding the future of Memphis Depay

Memphis Depay Is one of the proper names of the market of wintry signings. The Athletic of Madrid has proposed achieve his incorporation for 'cover' the gap that has left Joãor Félix with his exit (to Chelsea) and have touched the door of the FC Barcelona, but is not a simple operation and from the City Condal have showed resistance to carry out the traspaso.

And it is that, although from the Athletic propose a barter (with Thomas Lemar) and several alternatives so that the negotiations arrive to good port, from the Barça do not see it so clear and a new information of 'Sportive World' desvela that the club will do "all the possible" to avoid that it produce this movimientor, although the player would have given green light for recalar in the Cívitas Metropolitan.

The Barcelona understand that, in this opportunity, can not reinforce to a direct rival and resist to repeat the cases of David Villa, Luis Suárez or Antoine Griezmann, especially in a season that aims to be very equalised and in which each party will explain in research of the title. The Barça prefers that, if it leaves , was to a foreign League.

In this sense, in 'MD' have explained that the club will follow attentive to what can happen with the ex of the Olympique of Lyon and will insist in that it leave , although publicly they have left to glimpse that only they will leave to go out to players if they arrive new so that the staff do not see affected. It is on the table the possibility that it leave to the Newcastle United, that asked after he in Navidad.

However, Memphis would have refused the option. Yes it saw with good eyes the traspaso to the Athletic, because it is a competitive team in which it understands that it goes to play more than what could do it in the Barcelona group, but the Barça has the last word and, for the moment, seems that they prefer that it remain em the Camp Nou.

Memphis, with agreement until the summer

In any case, from the Barça continue attentive to what can happen with the international with Low Countries and, if have a real opportunity to achieve his exit, will take it. For the club is preferable to sell him now and avoid that in the summer of this year leave like free agent, after they decided that they did not go to renew his agreement.
