The 'Vecchia Signora' would be studying the possibility of incorporating Memphis Depay into their forward for the 2022-2023 season, but they would not do so under any conditions
The Juventus is looking for him a mate to Dusan Vlahovic for the forward of face to the season 2022-2023 and Memphis Depay has appeared like one of the alternatives, although it is not the first option. The 'bianconeri' also are attentive to the situation of Álvaro Morata (Athletic of Madrid) and Swindle Werner (Chelsea), although they are consicentes that do with the services of the player of the FC Barcelona would be the simplest operation to complete, taking in account the economic factor.
It is worth it to remember that the intention of the Barcelona entity is 'undo' of the international with Low Countries this summer. There is 'overbooking' in the forward, after the signings of Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, in addition to the renewal of Ousmane Dembélé, and Xavi Hernández has communicated him to Memphis that does not have space in his plans and that, thus, has to do his cases in this summer. The player, for the moment, has showed totally reacio to the possibility to abandon the Spotify Camp Nou.
The Barça is decided to sell it by 20 million euros, but will not be so simple, so much by the will of the player to remain and because no many have interested in his traspaso (in addition to the attempts fallidos of the Tottenham or Arsenal). The Juventus appears like the only team interested and does not have intention to disburse this quantity to do with his signing. In fact, only they would be had to complete it if it is in quality of loan by a season.
So that this suceda, the club of the City Condal would have to renew before to the footballer, whose current agreement wins on 30 June 2023. The 'Vecchia Signora', as it has informed the newspaper 'SPORT', would have left clear to the Barça in his first contacts that do not have 'cash' to assume the traspaso this year and that this is the only form in which they could include to Memphis in his plans of face to the next season.
Option of included purchase?
In case that the Barça concretise the cession of Memphis to the Juventus to cost zero, the blaugrana would have to include an option of compulsory purchase in the agreement of the player to effect in 2023, of 20 million euros. The operation, as they have informed in Italy, is not advanced (because the Juve has other candidates), but from the City Condal understand that it is a necessary and paramount movement to be able to 'undo' of one of the so many descartes of Xavi in the staff.
