He has no place in the lineup. Memphis Depay is only Barcelona’s seventh striker. Will he leave Catalonia?

His days seem numbered. The Dutchman, who was supposed to partially fill the hole left by Lionel Messi’s departure, is almost out of the game. Memphis Depay seems to be paying the price for the overload in the Catalan big club’s attack.

The former Lyon or Manchester United striker signed a two-year contract at Barcelona when he arrived as a free agent last summer.

He is currently about to enter the second half of that contract. However, it seems that the Blaugranas will want to make a little money out of him.

Memphis was Barcelona’s top scorer last season, but is now only the seventh striker in Xavi Hernandez’s squad.

Raphinha, Ousmane Dembele, Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Robert Lewandowski are all ahead of him in the first-team hierarchy. All of these players should be fighting for minutes on the pitch in attack.

Even the Barcelona club is considering using him to bring in Jules Koundé from Sevilla. However, the Andalusian club does not want to take over his wages, which are estimated to be something around 5 million euros. If Barcelona wanted to sell him, they could cash in up to €20 million.

Slowly but surely, the World Cup in Qatar is approaching. The player himself is aware of the time that if he wants to secure a nomination for this tournament, he must regularly appear on the pitch at a club with the highest ambitions.
