A recent report from Diario AS has offered an update on the future of Memphis Depay. The former Manchester United attacker is one of many players who are facing an uncertain future at the club.<\/p>\n
As such, he is yet to register himself for Barcelona\u2019s upcoming pre-season tour to the United States. The Dutchman is currently waiting for the club to hand him a definitive decision over his role and future at Camp Nou before he can commit himself for the season ahead.<\/p>\n
Depay joined the Barcelona camp last summer. He was tasked with the unenviable job of replacing Lionel Messi. While not many expected him to actually fill the Argentine\u2019s boots, the attacker was still regarded as a crucial piece of Ronald Koeman\u2019s attacking setup.<\/p>\n
The Dutchman did not disappoint either, enjoying a promising start to his career at Bar\u00e7a. However, an unfortunate injury, coupled with the January additions of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ferran Torres and Adama Traore, along with the sacking of Koeman, gravely affected his role in the first team.<\/p>\n
During the second half of the season, Depay failed to establish himself as a first-team regular. And his role in the team could dwindle further following the capture of Raphinha.<\/p>\n
Barcelona have also extended the contract of Ousmane Dembele. The collective presence of Dembele and Raphinha in the Bar\u00e7a attack next season, coupled with the potential addition of Robert Lewandowski means Depay is not included in Xavi\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n
And, as per the report, the attacker has been informed the same and will be allowed to leave the club this summer.<\/p>\n
The Catalans are hoping to include the Dutchman in the deal to sign Jules Kounde, knowing Sevilla might be open to an exchange of players that may help the Blaugrana lower the cost of the operation.<\/p>\n
However, if Depay is not interested in joining Sevilla, Bar\u00e7a are looking for a fee of around \u20ac20 million. The 28-year-old only has one year left on his contract, however, so it will not be surprising to see the club settling for less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
