He is a striker of quality, no doubt but the only question is whether he is of the caliber that can perform in a shirt of a European giant. He pretty much failed in Manchester United, it’s hard to say that he exploded in Barcelona, although he was prevented from doing so by injuries, which is why the Catalans have been thinking about parting ways with Memphis Depay for a long time. Even before the World Cup, they expressed their desire to remove the Dutch representative from the payroll, and when the tournament in Qatar ended, they received their first offer.##NAJAVA_MECA_6900553##And it came from England. Ambitious Newcastle United, who are performing above expectations and are in the Champions League headed group after a third of the competition in the Premier League, are looking at how to refresh the squad in the January transfer window. As it was taken over by the Saudis a year ago, it is clear that money is not a problem to build as strong a team as possible, which is why the idea of engaging the 28-year-old point guard is not a surprise.🚨 Newcastle are preparing to make an offer to Barcelona to sign Memphis Depay during the January transfer window. 🇳🇱 🟥 #ForçaBarça ⬛ #NUFC https://t.co/omC6FhSX0K pic.twitter.com/jspRNQsGYG— Ekrem KONUR (@Ekremkonur) December 22, 2022 The club from St. James’ Park offered Barcelona as much as 20,000,000 euros. Take into account the fact that just a few months ago in Catalonia they wanted to get rid of him for a paltry price of only 5,000,000 euros, but then the World Cup followed, Memphis played well there, and as it usually happens, the price his market has jumped. Regardless of the fact that his contract with Barca expires already in the summer, Newcastle would like to bring him now and thus increase their ambitions to reach the elite level of European football.Barcelona would like to let him go, however…##NAJAVA_MECA_6900474##Memphis Depay is not eager to leave now. Firstly, he doesn’t like to change his surroundings mid-season. And secondly, if he waited for the summer transfer window, he would leave Nou Camp as a free agent and then he could get a much higher salary for himself than if compensation was paid for him now.That’s why Barca are trying to persuade him to leave. Allegedly, the Catalans are ready to transfer a part of the 20,000,000 euros that Newcastle would pay to Memphis Depay’s account, in order to make him happy.
