The time flies. On June 19, 2021, Memphis Depay officially joined Barça after the end of his contract with Olympique Lyonnais. At the time, the Dutch international arrived as a star in Spain, and especially as the protege of Batavian coach Ronald Koeman. But a year later, the situation has changed a lot. Indeed, with the return of Joan Laporta at the head of the team and the induction of Xavi Hernandez as coach, the Blaugrana have regained ambition in the transfer window, and the former gone appears anything but a holder, especially since the recent recruitments of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha or the extension of Ousmane Dembélé. A situation that pushes the Catalans to open the door to a transfer, especially since there is only one year left on the striker’s contract.
Quickly, the player’s name circulated across Europe, but it is in the Premier League where he returns with the most insistence. Indeed, according to daily information Sport, it is Tottenham who are currently trying an approach. Spurs, who have already agreed with the Spaniards on loan Clement Lenglet, would like to do the same for the 28-year-old goalscorer but are not ready to splurge. The media reports that an initial offer of 17 million euros has been sent, while the Barcelona leaders would like to have 20. If the player feels good in Spain and wants to extend, he does not really enter anymore. the plans of his new coach, as explained by the Spanish daily. He is ready to go, but not anywhere. In Italy, several teams are interested, but they are not ready to pay as much as Spurs. Moreover, he does not imagine going to Seville, even if his club would like to integrate him into the Koundé operation. It now remains to be seen if he imagines settling in London and returning to the Premier League, a championship in which he had experienced some difficulties during his time at Manchester United.
