Barcelona transfer target: “I need some time then I’ll choose my next club”

As Sergio Aguero’s arrival gains more and more traction each day, it has become apparent that Barcelona have also put out feelers elsewhere. In an interview with L’Equipe relayed via transfer expert Fabrizio Romano the Catalans’ transfer target Memphis Depay confirmed their approaches towards him.

The Dutchman recently parted ways with the SEG agency, which represented him, but he now handles his deals independently with his personal legal aid. He confirmed that Barcelona have offered him a contract, and he is currently deliberating on his future.

“Barcelona are interested in signing me, it’s true. But there are also other clubs in the race. I’ve not decided my future at the moment: I need some time then I’ll choose my next club,” said Depay.

A while back, it was reported that Barcelona could indeed sign both Aguero and Depay as free agents in the summer. Now that possibility seems much more likely. However, Depay does have other offers, as he stated in the interview. Considering those avenues would be important in terms of game-time at Barcelona if Aguero arrives amid the already stacked attack at the club.

The contract offer on the table for the Lyon frontman is that of 2 or 3 years, similar to Sergio Aguero, whose arrival the club want to finalize immediately after the Champions League final.

While a great bit of business in securing two highly talented players for free, there are considerable doubts about how they will fit into the team even after Barcelona complete their entire revamp of players and staff.

There are also questions about whether these efforts should be directed towards reinforcing other positions, such as centre-back or fullbacks on either side.
