Barca open preliminary talks with Champions League club over Memphis

According to ESPN's Moises Llorens, Barcelona have opened preliminary talks with Juventus over the transfer of Memphis Depay.

The Dutchman is among the players Barca want to offload this summer. With a contract until 2023 and the addition of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha to the attacking line, the decision is easy to understand.

Memphis, however, seems adamant about continuing at Camp Nou despite the increased competition. The 28-year-old has reportedly told his teammates that he wants to stay for the season.

Last season, Memphis recorded 13 goals and two assists in 37 matches. A starter at first, his minutes dipped after the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the winter.
