Memphis' future takes an unexpected twist as he could leave Barça for United
The Dutch striker is in a tight spot with Juventus, who could rule him out to sign Milik.
Memphis's future has taken an unexpected turn in the last few hours. The Dutchman is ready to leave Barça, but negotiations with Juventus have nearly collapsed in the face of the striker's financial demands.
Manchester United emerge as a surprise destination. The English team's coach, Erik Ten Hag, believes this is a good prospect given the state of the market.
Memphis may prefer a return to Manchester. The situation should be resolved today.
Juventus have been negotiating with the striker for almost three weeks. Things were going well with Barça agreeing to release him for free. The striker though stuck to his demand of nearly 7 million euros net per season.
The Italian club are not willing to meet those figures, though they did plan to sign him for three seasons with an option for a fourth.
Negotiations were strained until Juve closed a loan deal for Milik, from Olympique Marseille, thus issuing an ultimatum to Memphis. Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri preferred the Dutchman but understands that they will not be able to financially compete with United.
Juventus would choose Milik if Memphis does not give an affirmative answer today. Barça, too, are waiting for the player's decision.
