TOP STORY: Roma join Juve in Depay chase
AS Roma have joined Juventus in the race to sign Barcelona forward Memphis Depay, according to Calciomercato.
The Netherlands international was heavily linked with a move away from Camp Nou during the summer transfer window, and Juventus was often among the clubs reportedly being interested in him.
That desire to sign the forward seems to have endured, especially as Max Allegri’s side have had an underwhelming start to the season — dropping into the Europa League while also sitting seventh in Serie A.
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho’s Roma occupy a Champions League spot as they sit fourth in the table, although their Europa League progression hangs in the balance with a match against Ludogorets set to decide who will go through or drop into the Europa Conference League.
Depay is currently out injured, although he was facing a disappointing season at club level before being forced onto the sidelines as he struggled for game time with just 131 minutes played across three matches.
While he managed to score in a 3-0 LaLiga win over Elche, Depay’s tough spell with the Blaugrana has resulted in widespread reports that the club is willing to let him leave.
This comes despite the former PSV Eindhoven, Manchester United and Lyon forward having only joined Barcelona in the summer of 2021.
