The summer transfer window is racing toward the Sept. 1 deadline, and there’s plenty of gossip swirling about who’s moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Memphis set for Camp Nou stay?
Memphis Depay has been linked with a move away from Barcelona for most of the transfer window but is now likely to stay at Camp Nou, according to Diario Sport.
It is now expected that the only thing to potentially change that outcome is a lucrative offer being made in the final hours of the transfer window, with Chelsea and former club Manchester United the two candidates named.
The Netherlands international hasn’t played a single minute in any of the Blaugrana‘s three LaLiga matches this season amid links with Juventus, which have since collasped.
Memphis still willing to listen to offers but will only do so if it is compelling, while it should be mentioned that Chelsea have also been linked with his teammates Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Frenkie de Jong.
With Aubameyang seemingly heading towards the exit door along with Abde — who is linked with Osasuna — Depay would be Barca’s sixth-choice forward.
Xavi Hernandez is satisfied with the attacking set-up of Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele, Raphinha, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres and Memphis, with the Dutchman’s flexibility across the front line meaning he could still enter their rotation to get minutes.
