28-year-old Dutch forward
Memphis Depay's time at the Camp Nou may be about to come to an end soon. According to reports, Depay has fallen down the pecking order at Barca and he isn't in Xavi's plans for the 2022/23 season. Barcelona wants to sell Depay as soon as possible, and German side Borussia Dortmund will likely table an official bid for the Dutchman soon.However, reports suggest that talks between Dortmund and Barcelona so far have not gone smoothly. While Barcelona wants to offload Depay for a reported 20 million euros, Dortmund is intent on signing the Dutchman on a loan deal. The black and yellows have a huge void to fill in their attack. They sold talismanic striker
Erling Haaland to Manchester City, and recently, they were dealt a huge blow in the form of
Sebastien Haller's malignant tumor diagnosis. Haller is likely to miss more than half of the 2022/23 campaign.It was at PSV Eindhoven where Depay rose to prominence as a skillful attacker who could play in a wide range of attacking positions. Manchester United came calling soon and Depay left Eindhoven to join the Red Devils. However, his time at Old Trafford was underwhelming, and he could not establish himself in the Manchester United first team. His attitude and lack of fitness were regularly criticized by pundits.After his unsuccessful spell at Manchester, Depay left for France to join Ligue 1 giants Lyon in an attempt to revive his career. His performances in the Lyon shirt were impressive, and he went back to the top of European football as Barcelona secured his signature. However, despite performing admirably for the Blaugrana so far, he has been sidelined ahead of the new season. Barcelona's treatment of Depay is sure to come as a shock to him as he finished the 2021/22 season as Barcelona's top scorer across all competitions.
