The Dutch striker will see what role he has under Xavi Hernandez this season

Memphis Depay arrived at Barcelona as on their star signings last summer. He turned down other bigger offers to link up with Ronald Koeman at Camp Nou.

He started the campaign as the team's reference point, but the departure of Koeman and January signings in attack have left him in a complicated situation.

Memphis had offers to leave Barça in January but decided to stay. There are already teams keen on signing him in the summer, although the player won't make any decision until the end of the campaign.

The Dutch forward first wants to see what role awaits for him at Barça when he returns from a hamstring injury. The arrivals of Adama Traore, Ferran Torres and Aubameyang could leave him without minutes, while Ousmane Dembele has also stayed and Ansu Fati could return before the end of the season.

Memphis has played just twice since injuring his hamstring against Bayern Munich in December and then suffering a relapse after the Real Madrid Supercopa defeat on Jan. 12.

He wants to see how Xavi uses him. His dream is to succeed at Camp Nou, that's why he accepted a lower offer to come, but he also wants to play. He wants to feel like an important player and teams in Italy are sounding out his situation.

What is certain is that if Barça do decide to let him leave, they can't ask for much for him. He joined on a free but only on a two-year deal.
