Green light for Memphis continuity

The coaches are very satisfied with Memphis Depay’s performance and the player wants to continue at FC Barcelona. Under these two initial premises, it is already very complicated to propose a departure for the Dutch striker, but if you also add the many problems of the club to find a ‘top’ center forward, and the need to find a new fit for Ansu Fati, more near area, the doors for Memphis Depay to continue at the club are wide open.

As Xavi Hernández has been insisting, his challenge is to get a squad that has all the positions doubled. In this case, with Memphis Depay and Ferran Torres, it is considered that the left winger would be well covered, and even more so if we take into account that the coaches’ plans are for Ansu Fati to play closer to the area, as 9, fighting for this place. with Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. This decision is not yet final, since it would depend on whether Barcelona is finally able to get a level striker. In this case, Fati could return to the band, and then the option of a departure to Memphis would open up.

The player, who has a contract until June 30, 2023, has always shown his desire to fulfill his contract. In fact, his numbers support him, being the team’s top scorer in LaLiga, with 11 goals, despite having been injured for almost two months.

But in the club they also see in Memphis the possibility of making money, aware that next year they could go for free. Hence, some in the club maintain the dilemma about the advantages of selling it now. If it were up to the technicians, the Dutch striker could continue, but they assume that if a ‘top’ 9 is finally signed, the money they receive for Memphis could cover part of the operation.

Speaking in silver, if Robert Lewandowski does not come, Memphis will follow. If the signing of the Pole is closed, the continuity of the Dutchman would be questioned.
