Barcelona Has Asked Memphis Depay to Leave in order to Raise Funds to Buy Raphinha
Memphis Depay has reportedly been told by Barcelona to look for a new club in this current transfer window. Barcelona are looking to raise funds to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha who is also on the radar of Chelsea.
Depay has only been at the club for one year after arriving last summer from Lyon.
Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez has reportedly told Memphis Depay to look for another club this summer.
Xavi is looking to raise funds to sanction a move for Leeds United winger Raphinha who reports indicate is interested in joining the club.
Depay found himself constantly on the bench during the second half of the season after the club bought Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Daily Mail reports that Barcelona intend to get at least 21.5 million pounds from the sale of the Netherlands international.
The club is currently involved in a standoff with Chelsea over the signature of Brazilian winger Raphinha. Barcelona are yet to meet Leeds’s valuation of the 25-year-old.
Depay scored 12 goals in the La Liga in his debut season.
