Xavi invites Memphis Depay to find a new club

The presence of Raphinha and Lewandowski increases the competition on Barcelona's front lines.

BARCELONA -- Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has told Memphis Depay that the striker will not get much playing time in the 2022/2023 season. In fact, the Dutch footballer can lift his suitcase from the Estadio Camp Nou next month because he is included in Xavi's squad reshuffle at the Catalan club.


The presence of Raphinha from Leeds United and Robert Lewandowski has increased competition in the Los Azulgrana front line sector. Practically the presence of the two players, with the presence of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele, made Depay's position in the Los Cules squad threatened.


As reported by Diario AS quoted by Football Espana , Monday (25/7/2022), Xavi has spoken with Depay during Barca's pre-season tour of the United States. He advised the player to look for options to move to another club.

The reason is, the 42-year-old coach will expressly reduce the playing time of the former Manchester United player starting next month. Moreover, Depay's contract expires in the summer of 2023.

This is certainly an important consideration for Depay considering that he must get more playing time to be able to secure a place in the Dutch national team squad at the 2022 Qatar World Cup next winter.
