Memphis is on the market: he has no place at Barcelona

The signings of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, together with the renewal of Ousmane Dembele, have left Memphis Depay without a place in the Barcelona team.

Despite being the team's top scorer last season, the player would now be the seventh striker behind the aforementioned plus Ansu Fati, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres.

It is an uncomfortable situation for a player who aims to be a starter in every game.

Memphis already knows what is at stake. The club have met with his agent to explain the situation.

At the moment he is not a vital player for Barcelona and the best solution would be for him to leave the team this summer.

The Dutchman is thinking about it. He knows that he has a good reputation and that he could go to a team where he will play regularly, but he won't go to just any team.

As in the case of Frenkie de Jong, the financial side of things is key. His sale, which the Catalan giants think would be in the region of 20 million euros, would mean an influx of money that could be used to sign other players.

In addition, it would free up wage bill space to be able to register the new players who have already arrived and who cannot be registered at the moment.

There is still a month and a half left in the market, so between now and the end of the window there is still a long way to go.

In this time, both sides will work to find a good solution. What is clear is that if he stays at Barcelona he will play very little and that is detrimental to him as there is a World Cup in six months.
