Arrived this summer at the end of his contract with Olympique Lyonnais, Memphis Depay could already leave FC Barcelona.
It is a real cure of austerity that will face FC Barcelona over the next few years. The Catalan club is going through one of the worst crises in its history and despite a loan of nearly € 600m, we will have to tighten our belts and especially reduce the wage bill, as Joan Laporta explained. “The problem is that we have inherited very expensive contracts which do not give us any margin in terms of payroll” explained the president of Barça, in a recent video posted to his Twitter account. “We are looking for the solution to improve the team this winter. We are working on it. And we will get there ”. This will undoubtedly go through departures and no one is sure to stay, as even Frenkie de Jong or even Marc-André Ter Stegen could be sold.
Barça will not retain Depay
And why not Memphis Depay ? According to AS reports, the possibility of the Dutchman leaving FC Barcelona within a year of joining is real. Currently Barça top scorer in La Liga, Depay has a significant salary and his departure could therefore be a real breath of fresh air for the club’s record. It remains to be seen which club will want to invest in him, knowing that he has not really left a lasting impression in the Premier League following his stint at Manchester United.
