Memphis Depay has asked for a release from his contract at Barcelona.

The Daily Express says the striker has asked to leave the Camp Nou this winter market, six months before the end of his contract.

Memphis was close to leaving in the summer but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's departure saw him blocked, although his situation at Barça has not improved.

The Dutch striker would like to terminate his contract so to choose his next destination.

In England they already say Manchester United and Tottenham are very attentive to his future and would be interested as long as the Dutchman left as a free transfer.
