FC Barcelona is advancing in its transfer window. After finally being able to save Ferran Torres thanks to the departure of Philippe Coutinho and the extension of Samuel Umtiti, the Blaugranas are still hoping to conclude the arrival of a striker. The dead target has been known for weeks: Alvaro Morata (29). The Spaniard is loaned to Juventus by Atlético de Madrid, but he has already made it known that he is ready to leave Piedmont and join Catalonia.
Unfortunately for him, his coach, Massimiliano Allegri, had somewhat cooled his enthusiasm. “Alvaro Morata is not leaving, he is a successful footballer. His problem is that he gets the wrong labels. But here it is important. I spoke with him, and I told him he won’t move from here. File closed “, he said at a press conference on January 5.
Since then, Morata has remained hopeful that things will change and Sky Italy reveals that an event could prove him right. Wounded in the knee, Federico Chiesa has said goodbye to the 2021-2022 season. To replace him, the Italian media announces that the Old Lady is thinking of a certain Memphis Depay (27 years old). So you see the deal coming.
A deal that suits everyone
A Morata-Depay exchange could thus take place this winter and arrange the two teams. Because if Morata is hot to go to Barça, Depay could also be tempted to look elsewhere. This season, the Batavian have scored 8 goals in 16 La Liga games, but since the induction of Xavi, the former Lyonnais is no longer an indisputable holder.
As proof, Xavi recently sent him a hell of a message. “How important is Depay to Barça?” The same as the others. Here, it is those who deserve it who play. Luckily, we start to recover players and the competition begins, the meritocracy. Only the best will play, it’s not by name. “ This exchange could therefore do the business of all these little people.
