Barcelona star Memphis Depay is
committed to staying at the club this summer.
The Dutch international has been linked with a
potential move away from the Camp Nou as part of a squad reshuffle this month.
Reports from Diario
AS claim Xavi has
already told the former Lyon star he is expendable with the club aiming to
raise around €25m from his possible sale.
The report states Depay is hurt by the club’s stance
and feels unfairly treated based on his performances last season.
However, despite his frustration over a potential
departure from Catalonia, Depay has firmly denied his intention is to leave the
club in the coming weeks.
“I really want to be back in Barcelona and start again, I can’t wait for that moment”, as per reports from ESPN, via Marca.
“But, I’m also going to relax with my feet in the sand somewhere, before I go back.”
Depay joined Barcelona on a free transfer ahead of the
2021/22 campaign, and despite mixed final run, his overall numbers were
impressive.
The 28-year-old forward netted 12 La Liga goals
in his debut campaign in Spain, more than any other player in Xavi’s squad, and
only matched by Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang in all competitions (13).
