Juventus rejected Depay contract demands as Man Utd in contact

Barcelona striker Memphis Depay priced himself out of a move to Juventus this week.

Depay had been in talks with Juve for several weeks, but the Bianconeri broke things off this week and signed Arek Milik from Olympique Marseille.

Sport says Depay demanded €3m-a-year more than his Barca salary - net - which saw Juve switch to Milik.
