Memphis Depay and FC Barcelona go their separate ways. The eccentric Dutchman joins Atlético Madrid. The 28-year-old Dutchman has a contract with the Rojiblancos until 2025. According to Barça, the transfer fee will be three million euros plus one million in possible bonuses.
The Catalans also have an option to buy Yannick Carrasco: Barcelona have the option to sign the 29-year-old Atlético winger. According to reports, 20 million euros would then be due.
Depay’s move to league rivals had already been indicated in the past few days. In the Spanish capital, the offensive player should now help compensate for the departures of João Félix (loan to Chelsea) and Matheus Cunha (loan to Wolverhampton Wanderers). In Barcelona, Depay was left out this season, was often not in the squad and was temporarily out with thigh problems.
Depay has played most games in his career for Olympique Lyon. He appeared 178 times in all competitions for the French first division team and was directly involved in 131 goals (76 goals, 55 assists).
