Galatasaray to bid for reluctant Barcelona striker Memphis Depay

Galatasaray are willing to bid for Barcelona striker Memphis Depay.

Sport says Depay will return to Barcelona training next week. The Dutch forward, who has been at the World Cup in Qatar with his country, will meet with Xavi Hernandez to talk about his situation and his future ahead of the January window.

The club has no intention of letting him leave for free, even though his contract ends on June 30, 2023.

However, only one club has so far shown a will to pay a transfer fee. It comes from the Turkish side Galatasaray, who are interested in acquiring the services of the ex-Lyon and Manchester United attacker.

For his part, Depay is reluctant to move to Turkey and is pushing for a release from his contract.
