Barcelona forward is surplus to requirements at Camp Nou

Not much has passed since it first appeared as an option until the moment when, as reported by numerous Italian media this morning, everything has been agreed upon. Only the smallest details remain, but in general, Barcelona, ​​Memphis Depay and Juventus have agreed on everything else, so the Dutchman will wear the Old Lady's jersey in the next two seasons.

It is useful for Barca to get rid of the Dutchman, who fell into the background after the registration of Robert Lewandowski (with his departure, the salary budget is lighter by about 10 million euros), while in this way Juventus puts an end to the search for a striker who will partner Dušan Vlahović in the attack, or if necessary, be his alternative.

Depay's lawyer and agent Sebastian Ledure is currently conducting final talks with Joan Laporte, in order for the Dutchman to terminate his contract with Barca before arriving in Turin. This way, Juve would get him without compensation and could fulfil his financial requirements without many problems – 14 million net for two seasons. This practically means that, along with Vlahović, Depay would be the team's highest-paid player.

And while the administrators are doing their thing, the 28-year-old striker started winking at the Old Lady. On social networks, he already followed Pogba, Bonucci...If everything ends as predicted by the Italian media, Memphis Depay will be Juventus' fifth signing this summer. Let us remind you that Di Maria, Paul Pogba, Gleison Bremer and Filip Kostic arrived before him.
