After a difficult start to the season, FC Barcelona decided to replace Ronald Koeman with Xavi on the bench. To improve the workforce, the new coach has already some ideas. Some departures, including that of Memphis Depay, are mentioned.
Will Memphis Depay still be at FC Barcelona next season? Arrived free from Lyon last summer, the 27-year-old striker is barely convincing in Catalonia. So much so that the Spanish press evoked this Tuesday a possible departure of the Dutchman next summer.
According to the Catalan media El Nacional, the new coach Xavi is not particularly attracted by the former Lyonnais and will not oppose his departure at the end of the season. Author of 8 goals and 2 decisive assists in 19 games, the native of Moordrecht is generally considered in Spain as an irregular player who does not have the shoulders wide enough to be a leader in a club of this standing.
Le Bara sets a price of 40 M €
Li at Bara until June 2023, Depay will have only one year of contract next summer and the question of his future would have arisen in any case for the Barcelona management. It is to clear things up now that Xavi has let his chairman Joan Laporta know that he would not be angry if the club decided to sell the Batavian.
Also according to the same source, the coach of AS Rome, Jos Mourinho, would appreciate the profile of the ex-Gone. It remains to be seen whether the Italian club will have the means to meet the demands of the Blaugrana. The price set by the residents of Camp Nou would be 40 million euros. A relatively high price for Roman finances.
