EURO HEAVYWEIGHTS CHASE MEMPHIS
Manchester United misfit Memphis Depay is wanted by two of Europe’s powerhouses, according to a report.Both Barcelona and Juventus want the disappointing Dutchman, reports Spanish outlet Don Balon.
The 22-year-old has disappointed since joining from PSV Eindhoven last summer for £25million and Barca are keen to give him a fresh start in La Liga. Barca’s potential move for Memphis depends on whether they get their number one target – Atletico Madrid’s Luciano Vietto.
However, Juventus are also keen and are said to have already lodged a £16.7million bid.
Whether Jose Mourinho will allow Memphis to leave without having a chance to mould the player into a first-team regular remains open to debate.
