Spanish press reports revealed, today, Saturday, that Barcelona is planning to force one of the team’s strikers to leave during the current summer transfer period. This is so that the Catalan giant does not fall under the Financial Fair Play Act.
Barca officials are looking to sell some players during the current period after completing the contract with 4 deals, led by Rafinia Diaz and Andreas Christensen. This was done in conjunction with a severe financial crisis that began since the outbreak of the new Corona virus, Covid 19.
Barcelona plans to force its striker to leave
And the Barcelona administration, headed by Joan Laporta, chose the Dutch international star, Memphis Depay, because after the renewal with the French winger Osman Dembele and the contract with Rafinia Diaz. With the approaching settlement of the Robert Lewandowski deal. Depay no longer has any place in the Barcelona squad under coach Xavi Hernandez.
Reports confirm that it will not be easy, as Depay will not accept the sale in this way from the management. He will not be satisfied with leaving before the end of his contract because he has made a great effort to move to Barcelona. And he may ask to leave for free, which the Catalan club officials may not agree to at all.
Memphis Depay has not yet looked for any new team to move to in the past weeks. But all Barcelona deals went perfectly, so the club’s management became headed by Joan Laporte. You think the worst case scenario is that he won’t be able to score deals unless a few old players leave.
As a result of all this, Barcelona is asking for an amount of at least 20 million euros to sell it, which is unacceptable for the player or his agents, especially since there is strong interest from the Italian clubs Juventus and Roma, as well as Tottenham Hotspur. Which is the most interested in the inclusion of the Dutch striker.
