Memphis Depay: Barcelona Determined to Sell Dutch Star in January

• Barcelona remains committed to selling Netherlands winger Memphis Depay when the January transfer window opens
• Barcelona are keen to generate a fee for the 28-year-old forward whose contract with the La Liga giants is set to expire at the end of the season
• Depay has been constantly linked with a move away from Camp Nou with Serie A giants Juventus interested in signing the winger

Memphis Depay’s time at Barcelona looks set to come to an end in January as the Catalan giants are prepping to offload the winger when the winter transfer window opens.

Depay who joined Barcelona in 2021 from Ligue 1 side Lyon under Ronald Koeman, has struggled to find his best form since Xavi took over at Camp Nou.

According to Football Espana, Barcelona are working on a string of player sales at Camp Nou with Depay on the list as they look to balance an ongoing delicate financial situation at the club.

The Catalan giants are determined not to lose the 28-year-old winger for free with his contract set to expire at the end of the 2022/23 season and will therefore sell him in January.

Depay prefers to see out his contract at Barcelona and assess his options at a later date, but Barcelona will push for a €15m fee with Premier League clubs tracking him.

Tottenham interested in signing Depay

Meanwhile, Tottenham has spoken to Memphis Depay’s representatives ahead of a potential deal for the out-of-favour Barcelona winger in January, Give Me Sport reports.

The North London club hopes to edge the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal in the race to sign the Netherlands World Cup star.

If the deal for Depay goes through for Tottenham, the 28-year-old forward could provide cover for both Harry Kane and Son Heung-min in the Spurs attack.

Barcelona upset with misfiring Memphis Depay

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Barcelona’s season has not gone as planned after the Catalans’ shock elimination from the Champions League in the group stages at the hands of Bayern Munich.

It is the second consecutive season Barca has failed to reach the knockout stages after also falling short in the 2021/22 season in Xavi’s first few weeks as manager.

Barcelona are now throwing some of the blame on misfiring forwards Raphinha and Memphis Depay for contributing less to the Catalans’ success.
