Barcelona attacker poised to accept one-year offer from Premier League giants

Amidst the chaos around Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s possible move to Chelsea, any and all news surrounding Memphis Depay had gone rather cold. He was poised to join Juventus on a free transfer, but the move collapsed due to Manchester United’s failed pursuit of Adrien Rabiot.

However, in a predictable manner, deadline day has brought with it a ton of drama. Chelsea have been quoted with an interest in Memphis, and have sent an ‘generous offer’ to him, worth one year.

And if reports from Pete O’Rourke are to be believed, Memphis is ready to accept this offer, with Barcelona giving him the green light for the move.

It has not been revealed yet whether this transfer will involve a transfer fee or it will be a Bosman move, as the Juventus one was rumoured.

Memphis, much like Aubameyang, signed with Barcelona on a free transfer in 2021. He, too, ended up scoring 13 goals through the season, the joint-highest in the squad. And now, he might be headed to Chelsea, as well. Talk about synchronisation.
