Barcelona has reinforced itself with important players for the 2021-22 season and, at the same time, has tried to let some stars leave. One of the players who are likely to leave the club is Memphis Depay, but the situation of the Dutchman is still unclear, especially after the possible deal with Juventus fell through.
Amidst the speculations, the striker remains under the orders of Xavi Hernández, still without making his debut in LaLiga Santander, and this Monday, on his day off, he decided to take a trip to England. According to El Chiringuito's cameras, the 28-year-old athlete took a flight to London, along with Frenkie de Jong.
The images of Memphis increased the rumors about his departure, although it was known that the arrival in the English city would only be for personal reasons. According to Mundo Deportivo, Depay flew to English territory to attend the wedding of Donny van de Beek, midfielder of Manchester United, who is his teammate in the Netherlands national team.
However, it is also worth mentioning that the Spanish press has reported on the interest of the 'Red Devils' in having the services of the Dutch attacker again. Let's remember that the goalscorer was part of the English club in the 2015-16 season and left at the beginning of the following campaign (two goals in 33 Premier League matches).
Memphis Depay's numbers last season
Memphis Depay joined Barcelona for the 2021-22 season and became the team's main figure in the first few months, under the orders of Ronald Koeman. Throughout the season, the forward scored 12 goals and provided two assists in 28 games in LaLiga Santander, but had a less prominent role with the arrival of Xavi Hernández, which coincided with his injury.
Who are the departures from Barcelona for 2022-23?
After consulting with the technical leadership led by Xavi Hernández, for the next season, FC Barcelona decided to do without the services of up to 11 players: Coutinho, Trincao, Puig, Mingueza, Neto, Wagué, Manaj, Alves, Nico, Lenglet, and Collado.
Of the mentioned players, only Philippe Coutinho and Francisco Trincao brought profits to Barcelona's coffers: 20 and three million euros, respectively. While Nico, Lenglet, and Collado were loaned out for the entire season.
