Before the summer transfer window closes, Memphis Depay’s difficult tenure at Barcelona might come to an unexpected end. Even though the Dutch winger’s contract at Camp Nou is set to expire in 2023, he may be able to leave Barçalona on a free transfer. With a market worth of €35 million, the 28-year-old player would rank as Barcelona’s seventh most valuable departure.
Memphis Depay, who joined Barcelona from Lyon last year but only stayed for one season, is eager to move on from the Catalan giants this summer. Due to his exorbitant salaries, the 28-year-old Dutch winger is one of Barcelona’s best earners and the team is hoping to transfer him to raise money to sign new players.
According to Transfer Markt, Depay’s attorneys are in talks with the Catalan powerhouses to essentially terminate his contract one year before it expires.
The former Manchester United player might consequently become a free agent and join another team without having to pay a transfer fee. Depay’s time at Barcelona hasn’t quite gone as planned; in 37 appearances for the Catalan club in all competitions, the forward only managed to register 13 goals and two assists.
