It seems that things are going towards the survival of the Dutch striker Memphis Depay, Barcelona striker, in the ranks of the Catalan team, at least for the end of the season
Depay’s contract (28 years) with Barca expires at the end of this season, and there does not appear to be any intention to renew his contract
According to the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, Barcelona was seeking to get rid of Depay, next January, in order to obtain payment for his departure, before his contract expired at the end of the season
However, Depay would be more likely to stay at Barcelona, due to financial fair play restrictions
And the newspaper stated that Depay’s departure from Barcelona next January will not give Barca the opportunity to include other players, for fear of violating the laws of fair financial play
Accordingly, Depay is expected to remain within the ranks of Barca, for fear of reducing the team’s list, specifically the offensive line, without compensating the Dutch player
For its part, the Italian network “Calcio Mercato” confirmed that Roma is one of the most interested in including Depay, whose interest in including the player declined due to his huge financial demands
