Announced as imminent for days, the signing of Memphis Depay to FC Barcelona is still not formalized. On the Barça side, we are not panicking, but we are wondering about the attitude of the Depay clan.
Memphis Depay was to join Ronald Koeman in Barcelona before the Euro in order to play the Euro with the Netherlands without worrying about his future. Then, every day the Barcelona sports press announced that this time the press release was ready and that Barça would formalize the signing of Depay. On Wednesday, before the victory of the Dutch team against Austria, the former Manchester United player himself admitted that an announcement was near. But for 48 hours, nothing has progressed in the Memphis Depay file, to the point even that this Saturday the Sports world wonders about this rather astonishing situation. For Fernando Polo, if nothing seems to call into question the arrival of the striker from the Netherlands, this signing without this postponement is mainly due to the recent change of agent of Depay.
A few weeks ago, the Olympique Lyonnais player had indeed announced that he was taking back control of his career, ceasing to work with his usual representatives. And it is the lawyers of the 27-year-old footballer who are now responsible for this slowdown in negotiations. ” While the club’s forecasts were to officially complete his signing at the start of the week, with the two parties having already agreed on an agreement in principle at the end of last week, the new lawyers of the Dutch international are very picky when he It is about validating the clauses of the contract that will unite him with Barça », Explains the Catalan journalist, who does not believe that an outbidding of another club explains that it drags a little. However, he doesn’t go so far as to say that the official deal between Memphis Depay and FC Barcelona will be announced this weekend. Caution is in order.
