They are still counting on the player and would only consider his departure if it brings in money or another player. Roma have been approached and Manchester United are considering a move for him. Barça even considered this scenario out of necessity, but now things have changed.

As the Blaugrana attempted to register their players, Memphis' departure was essential to free up some space in their salary limit. The Dutch forward was ...

The Polish forward will also be missing for the first three games of the year after his suspension was upheld by the disciplinary committee for La Liga. It also shows that Barcelona are less keen to make signings than the previous summer. None of the three have been a regular source of goals this season, making the Blaugrana overly reliant on Robert Lewandowski. The Dutch forward was adamant that he would only leave on free, if Barcelona rescinded his contract, and he had an offer from a top club. From that perspective, it makes more sense to keep Memphis around than having a small amount of their salary limit left over.

Following the injury to Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal may ramp up their transfer pursuit of Depay with the knowledge he could be available in January without Edu needing to part ways with significant funds.
