Tottenham and Napoli target Memphis Depay ‘set to leave Barcelona after just ONE season’… as he falls down the pecking order after the signings of Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January
- Dutch forward Memphis Depay could leave after just one season at Barcelona
- The 28-year-old has fallen down the pecking order under Xavi at Catalan giants
- Depay has scored 10 goals in 29 appearances in an injury-hit campaign
Memphis Depay looks set to leave after just one season at Barcelona as he appears to have fallen down the pecking order since the January transfer window.
The 28-year-old arrived at the Nou Camp last summer from Olympique Lyon on a free transfer.
Depay has scored 10 goals in 29 appearances in his debut campaign at the Catalan giants, but has played just twice in the last two months due to injury problems.

The Dutch international may not be an undisputed starter when he returns from the break – despite scoring for his country in their 4-2 victory over Denmark.
He could reportedly be sold this summer, given that his contract is set to expire in 2023, according to Spanish outlet Sport.
Boss Xavi brought in the likes of Ferran Torres, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Adama Traore to bolster his attack.

Traore arrived on loan, but the Catalan giants are quite clear that they want him on a permanent deal.
Despite this, Depay has taken advantage of the minutes he has had to add two goals to his personal account, against Athletic and Elche.
Journalist Gerard Romero also claimed earlier this month that Tottenham have already made an offer for the attacker.
That gives Spurs an easier route to signing the player, given Barcelona’s decision to now sell.
According to Calciomercato, Napoli are also keen to bring in Depay to replace outgoing forward Lorenzo Insigne.
Insigne will end his 16-year association with the club at the end of this season when he joins MLS side Toronto FC on a free transfer.
