The Scottish coach cooled the striker’s signing for West Ham with his statements
The future of the Dutchman is still up in the air and he has a foot and a half outside of FC Barcelona
Memphis continues to be one of the protagonists of the transfer market in the Blaugrana key. The arrival of Lewandowski and Raphinha, in addition to the renewal of Dembélé, the great performance of Aubameyang and the commitment to Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres leave him as the seventh striker in the squad.
The Dutchman, therefore, must find a way out in the coming days. The team that has shown the most interest is Juventus Turin, although their transfer to the Italians has not yet been given the green light. Another of the teams that has sounded like the new home of Memphis is West Ham, although his coach, David Moyes, has cooled his signing.
“We don’t want to fill positions just for the sake of it. We are trying very hard, we have made many offers, but I don’t know anything about Memphis Depay.”he commented at the press conference prior to the matchday two match against Nottingham Forest.
Memphis is still part of the Barça first team routine, in terms of training sessions, calls and minutes in friendly matches. In fact, he has taken over the number ’14’, after the club decided to give his ‘9’ to Lewandowski. On Saturday, against Rayo Vallecano, he could still have a few minutes.
