The signing of Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich has limited Memphis Depay’s game time at Barcelona.
This season he has played in just two La Liga games and only 15 minutes in the Champions League. Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, two wide players, are preferred by Xavi Hernández in the central attacking role.
The Catalan club were willing to offload Depay in the summer window, but he stayed put at Camp Nou. As Relevo reported in November, Barça were confident that the Dutchman would agree to leave in January.
The Blaugrana need the revenue and his departure would be welcome at the club. A move away looks favourable for all parties, and the Dutch forward has been linked with a move to Atlético Madrid to replace João Félix, who will join Chelsea on loan until the end of the season.
