Depay No Longer Part of Barcelona’s Plans for Next Season

Spanish press reports revealed that Dutch international Memphis Depay has been reportedly told by Barcelona manager Xavi that he is no longer needed at the club. The Dutch international arrived at the Camp Nou on a free deal from Lyon last summer and managed to score 13 goals and provided two assists for the Blaugrana in 38 games in all competitions.
Twelve of Depay's scores came in 28 La Liga appearances, but he failed to become a regular starter in Xavi's squad after signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres. The 28-year-old has also struggled with hamstring injuries throughout the season, only playing the full 90 minutes in La Liga once in the second half of the season. According to Spanish news outlet Marca, the Dutchman has been told by Xavi this week that he is no longer part of the Spaniard’s plans for the upcoming season. 
It has been reported that an offer in the region of £25 million would be enough for Barcelona to part ways with the 28-year-old winger. And the club will then use the fund to lure Raphinha to the Nou Camp. 
Depay was linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur at one point, but Spurs paid £60m and signed Richarlison from Everton.
