Barca Set Price Tag For  Depay

Barcelona have set a price of £17million in order to sell Memphis Depay to Arsenal, according to reports. The Dutchman only joined from Lyon in last summer’s transfer window. But he could now leave with the La Liga giants eyeing two forwards.

Barcelona signed Depay a year ago when Ronald Koeman was manager, with the duo previously working together at the Netherlands national team.

And while the 28-year-old didn’t compensate for the departure of Lionel Messi, he still managed an impressive 12 goals from 28 La Liga games.

Now fresh reports has it that Barcelona want a fee in the region of £17m to let Depay join Arsenal or any other interested club this summer.

The forward has just a year left on his contract and, with the club looking to balance their finances, it’ll be interesting to see what happens.

However on several occasions Depay has revealed that he does not have any intention on leaving Barcelona at the current moment and ‘wants to succeed’.

He arrived on a lower salary when he’d earned at Lyon and feels the Nou Camp is still the perfect place for him to play his football.
