Memphis Depay wants to leave FC Barcelona and is about to move to Atletico: The Catalans are apparently interested in an exchange with Carrasco
Memphis Depay has announced his move to Barcelona FC fulfilled a dream, but from a sporting point of view made the wrong decision. The Dutchman only has three competitive games this season and has no chance of a regular place. Things didn’t go well for the 28-year-old in the pre-season either. Now, after a disappointing year and a half, he is aiming for a farewell.
In the last year and a half you could only see a dangerous and good mood Memphis Depay in the Elftal. At FC Barcelona, on the other hand, he looks in particular after the commitment of Robert Lewandowski no more country. The veteran striker knows he has no chance of ousting the Polish striker from the starting XI. So now he longs for a change of air. According to Fabrizio Romano, the player has already made the decision to leave Barcelona. A change is still on the agenda for January.
According to the Italian transfer expert, the Depay side is already negotiating with La Liga club Atlético Madrid. The attacker is said to be very interested in a change, but there are still some details to be clarified. FC Barcelona would certainly like to get some more income from the player, although the 28-year-old’s contract ends in the summer of 2023.
Are Barcelona aiming for a swap?
The Spanish source Sports according to the Catalans, they want to get Carrasco in exchange for Depay. One wonders where the Belgian will play, however, given the quality aplenty on the wing with Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Fati and Dembélé. Presumably it will amount to a small fee and Depay will pay that Chelsea replace the loaned João Felix 1:1.
