Memphis Depay is one of the names that have sounded the most to arrive at Barcelona since last summer at the request of Ronald Koeman. The Dutch striker ends his contract with Olympic Lyon in the summer and according to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, he has prioritized his arrival at Barca over proposals from Juventus, Inter Milan or Atlético de Madrid. Today, Depay has shared a message through his social networks that has filled Barcelona with enthusiasm, who dreams of seeing him share a game with Messi at the Camp Nou.
“Time to take control of my career. I have reached a point where I need to make important decisions about my future. I have decided to negotiate my future contracts together with my team and trusted people backed by legal experts. I will decide my future for myself. You will be the first to know“, read the official statement of the Dutch national team. In France, the newspaper ‘LÉquipé’ reported for days that Depay’s agents are already finalizing the details of the forward’s new contract, which would not prevent the signing of ‘Kun’ Agüero by the Barcelona (the Argentine would also arrive free in summer).
Even from France they confirm that the Lyon forward still has agreed to cut his salary substantially, given the delicate economic situation facing the Blaugrana team. Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, wants to build a competitive team for the following season, where his main objective -in addition to solving the economic crisis- is to convince Lionel Messi to stay.
