Memphis Depay will head to Juventus
By db-admin
DBasia.news – One by one players have arrived to help strengthen Juventus, Massimiliano Allegri’s team. Until now Juventus have brought in Paul Pogba, Gleison Bremer, Angel Di Maria, Andrea Cambiaso and made Federico Chiesa’s contract permanent.
Following these names is the Dutch national team player, Memphis Depay, who is currently completing his business at Barcelona. Depay was offered to Juventus and the player only had Juventus as his goal.
The 28-year-old player is still under contract with Barcelona until June 30, 2023. However, due to Barcelona’s financial crisis and also they have to register new players to LaLiga, their options are to sell or release players in the current squad.
Depay, who came for free in 2021 from Olympique Lyonnais, was one of the players Barcelona wanted to ‘discard’ until he was offered to Juventus. No doubt Barcelona are trying to terminate his contract – no problem releasing him to Juventus for free.
Depay’s representative, Sebastien Ledure, as reported by Corriere dello Sport is currently working on finalizing his contract with Barcelona. After taking care of business, Depay will immediately join Juventus.
“Juventus want to quickly complete Memphis Depay’s deal. There is no interest from Tottenham (Hotspur), no opportunities for Turkish clubs,” said Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
“Juve are leading the hunt and are discussing a two-year contract agreement with Memphis lawyers. Depay will only accept a contract termination with Barca when he is happy with the contract offer.”
A two-year contract with a salary of 5 million euros per season is being prepared by Juventus. Depay is also not recently linked with Juventus as in the past the club based at the Allianz Stadium had also targeted the former Manchester United player.
