Memphis Depay is close to finalising his Barcelona exit but Juventus still need to find an agreement after the Dutchman raised his demands, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.
The Blaugrana are working to cut the 28-year-old forward from their squad after only a year due to financial issues, allowing the player to join a new club on a free transfer. Juventus have been keen to pick up Depay for a little while now, making him their primary target after it became clear that Alvaro Morata would not be returning to Turin.
As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus still haven’t agreed personal terms with Depay yet as the Dutchman has raised his demands to the club. Recent media reports suggested that the 28-year-old was initially happy with a two-year deal worth €6m net per season, but now this doesn’t seem to be convincing enough.
Depay is expected to finalise his Barcelona departure at some point in the coming days and talks are still ongoing with Juventus, who are hoping his demands drop again.
