Atletico Madrid in talks for Barcelona striker Memphis Depay

Atletico Madrid are in talks for Barcelona striker Memphis Depay.

AS says Atlético are interested in signing Depay, who has lost his place in the Barcelona starting eleven with the signing of Robert Lewandowski.

This season Depay has played in just two La Liga games and only 15 minutes in the Champions League. Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, two wide players, are preferred by head coach Xavi.

The Blaugrana were willing to offload the 28-year-old last summer, but he stayed put at Camp Nou.

A move away looks favourable for all parties with Depay's deal with the Spanish Super Cup winners expiring on 30 June 2023.
