Soccer has many twists and turns, and Memphis Depay knows it.
In October, an agreement to bring him to the Camp Nou was ready to go once a deal was reached between Lyon and Barcelona, as the player had agreed to sign.
However, the club’s salary cap caused the transfer to fall apart at the last minute.
All parties agreed to resume talks in January to seal the deal, but the signing of Depay by Barcelona is now less clear.
His signing now seems more distant than ever with the winter transfer market a few days before the opening, according to Sport and Mundo Deportivo.
The club has doubts about the investment required and the need is less urgent given the explosion of Pedri, the good form of Martin Braithwaite, the recovery of Ousmane Dembélé and the departure of the injured Ansu Fati, making it difficult to find a space in attack .
The priority for the club is defense, where Gerard Piqué is ruled out until April and there are doubts about Samuel Umtiti.
Eric García is the candidate sought to join in January, which would be the only signing that would be made due to the worrying financial situation of the club.
Depay was Ronald Koeman’s wish, but Braithwaite’s strong performance has impressed him and he would accept that there is no need for another striker if the Danish forward remains at the club.
