Ideally, Xavi would want Memphis to stay. However, the board believes now is a good time to sell the player, as his contract expires in 2023. Club knows they’ll have to renew his contract, if he ends up staying. @gerardromero
There is no formation that Xavi will chose Depay to play off Lewa.
He tried Depay at AM in his formation couple times last season and he was terrible.
Depay is better served being bigger fish in smaller pond than current Barca and where he can be given freedom to play his own game and team built round him more.
He isnt good enough to be main man at a top side and too inconsistent with his touch and decisions to be part of a team set up for better players in front line.
His signing was needed at the time and he had good contribution in the 1st half of the season.
But if both Lewy and Raphinha do come and Fati is fully fit, then it's best to sell him.
