Memphis Depay
FC Barcelona officially presented striker
Memphis Depay to the press on
Thursday in an event at the Camp Nou
Stadium.
The presentation happened two days
after Depay arrived in Barcelona to put
pen to paper on his new deal.
The Dutch international has joined
Barca on a two-year deal from French
side Olympique Lyon and has the
release clause on his contract set at 500
million euros.
Depay comes to Barcelona at the
personal request of Barca coach Ronald
Koeman, who has previously worked
with him at the Dutch national team.
He is one of the most important of the
club’s new arrivals, who also include
Kun Aguero and Eric Garcia from
Manchester City and defender Emerson
Royale from Real Betis.
The club still has to confirm that star
striker Leo Messi has signed a new
contract after his old deal expired at
the end of June.
In the past few days, French
international Antoine Griezmann has
been linked with a possible return to
Atletico Madrid as Barca look to lower
their wage bill.

The move is to help the Spanish giants
in meeting financial fair play
requirements.
