The player is getting closer to the Italian club but still needs to clarify the economic aspects of his release.

Memphis Depay is getting closer and closer to leaving FC Barcelona and joining Juventus. Even so, there are still some details to be ironed out, especially regarding the termination of the player's contract by Barça.

According to Tuttosport, Memphis has already reached an agreement with the Italian club to join Serie A for free, but for the final agreement of the termination of his contract with Barça, the player has asked for a severance payment for the remaining year of his contract at Barcelona (about 2 or 3 million).

Barça's position though is to greenlight the operation as long as it does not cost money to the club. They will resume meetings with the player and his lawyer to discuss and negotiate the conditions and hopes that the player accepts. If all goes well, he could fly this afternoon to Turin to seal the deal with Juventus.

In the agreement with the bianconneri, Memphis would receive a salary similar to the one he agreed with the Culés a year ago, 5 million euros fixed plus 1.5 million euros in bonus, per year. Even so, the information suggests that Italy could raise his salary somewhat since the club could take advantage of the benefits of the decree of growth on the player's gross annual salary. A solution that Juventus have already been able to exploit for Pogba, but not for Di Maria.

In any case, for now, Juve are expecting the Dutchman to arrive on a free transfer, although at Continassa they do not rule it out entirely should his case stall. Memphis is a priority target in Turin after Di Maria's injury, and they are looking to reach a successful conclusion as soon as possible.
