It is a no brainer that Memphis Depay was the most exciting prospect of the summer transfer window at the Camp Nou. But the 27 year old has failed to live upto expectations so far.
Although the Dutchman has netted several goals for the Blaugrana,his lack of killer instinct in front of goal, something which the club has lacked ever since the departure of Luis Suarez and his inability to perform in big matches has raised some eyebrows at Camp Nou. Several Catalunyan media outlets have also reported that new coach Xavi Hernandez is not fully pleased with the ex Lyon man either.
Barcelona also have their eyes set on young Spaniard and Manchester City forward Ferran Torres. Add to that, talents like Ansu Fati and Yusuf Demir and one would expect nothing but flawless performances from Depay if he has to cement his place in the team.
After Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Manchester United, Juventus are looking to cash in on ex Old Trafford man Memphis Depay according to El Nacional. The fact that Barcelona bought him for free is yet another reason why they would be persuaded to sell him should the right offer knock on the door. Italian giants AS Roma are also reportedly interested in the Dutchman and would be willing to pay upto £40 million to land his signature.
Barcelona know very well that Depay's contract ends in 2023. So any move regarding his exit from the camp nou with the idea of a profit has to be made the coming summer which makes things even more interesting.
