DBasia.news – Barcelona gave the green light to Memphis Depay to be able to leave on a free transfer. Now, the final decision rests with Juventus.
Memphis Depay is one of the players linked with leaving Barcelona. The arrival of Robert Lewandowski made the news even more torrential.
Moreover, Depay is reportedly not the main choice for Xavi Hernandez. The Dutch player will only be a coating.
One of the teams interested in Depay is Juventus. Juve are looking for a new striker to replace a number of pillars who left. Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala were among the players who left.
However, Juve are only willing to bring in Depay on a free transfer. The Bianconeri don’t want to spend money to sign Depay, who has one year left on his contract.
Good news for Juventus, Barcelona will finally let Depay go. For Barca, Depay’s departure provides room for registering new players who are facing the salary limit regulations.
“The termination of the contract is now finally ready between Depay’s camp and Barcelona. Now it’s up to Juventus,” wrote transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano on Twitter.
“Juventus have to give the go-ahead for a two-year contract that was discussed for days to complete and then sign the agreement.”
Fabrizio Romano reports that until now there has been no agreement between Depay and Juventus regarding the nominal salary.
Now, it is interesting to wait for Juventus’ next move as Barcelona is rumored to be pulling Depay from the transfer market if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyeng heads to Chelsea. Therefore, the Bianconeri are in a race against time.
