Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez has reportedly told Memphis Depay to look for another club this summer.

The Daily Mail reports that Barcelona intend to get at least 21.5 million pounds from the sale of the Netherlands international.

The club is currently involved in a standoff with Chelsea over the signature of Brazilian winger Raphinha. Barcelona are yet to meet Leeds's valuation of the 25-year-old.

Depay scored 12 goals in the La Liga in his debut season.

Memphis Depay enjoyed his summer vacation in Ghana

Even as his Barcelona career threatens to end prematurely, Sports Brief had earlier reported that Memphis Depay might have wrapped up his summer break in Ghana but the Barcelona forward cannot have enough of the West African country.

Memphis spent a week in Ghana connecting with his roots while undergoing philanthropic works.

The 28-year-old's week-long summer break in the West African nation could best be described as worthwhile, from playing football on a grassless pitch to meeting with dignitaries.

Xavi Hernandez ruthlessly tells four Barcelona stars to leave the club

Sports Brief had earlier reported that four Barcelona stars have their future in limbo after Xavi reportedly told them to find new clubs instead of resuming training ahead of the new season.

The Catalan club is still trying to find its feet as far as finances are concerned, and there are some players who are considered surplus to requirements at the moment.

With the new season only five weeks away, Xavi seems to have made some decisive decisions concerning the future of some stars. The four players who could leave the club after Xavi’s ultimatum include academy stars Oscar Mingueza and Riqui Puig, defender Samuel Umtiti and forward Martin Braithwaite.
