The Barcelona club, that had an agreement with the international Dutch, could not assume the costs of his arrival, to the have not been able to concretise the course of Ousmane Dembélé.

The exit of the French forward was key so that it could concretise the signing of Memphis Depay by two reasons: the first, because the money obtained by his frustrated traspaso to the Manchester United had served to pay the 30 million euros that demanded the Olympique of Lyon; the second, because it was necessary to reduce the mass salarial of the first staff of the FC Barcelona not to exceed the limit with his arrival.
