The Dutchman is going to be ostracised again when Lewandowski returns

Barca coach Xavi Hernandez made it clear he didn't want changes to the squad. He's comfortable with what he has and with no arrivals possible, he asked for nobody to leave. That's where things are, but Memphis Depay's future is still in the air and in the final days of the market things could happen.

Memphis understands his complicated situation at Barca. He's had some minutes but knows when Robert Lewandowski is fit agian his ostracism will continue. He's the last option for Xavi. Various Premier League sides are curious about signing him.

Man United, Newcastle, Arsenal and Chelsea are waiting to hear from his people. At some of these clubs, Memphis is not the first option but the market is not rich with attackers so the situation could change. He and his people are keeping quiet but are expecting a meeting in January to analyse the situation.

Barca will not make it easy for him to leave like they did in January, though, when they were willing to let him go to Juventus for free. Now they will only accept a fee for loaning him until the end of his deal with all his wages paid.
