Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur and Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea have been linked with Barcelona forward Memphis Depay, who is on the radar of Juventus as well.
Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Juventus linked with Memphis Depay
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported today that Tottenham made an enquiry this week about signing Depay from Barcelona in the summer transfer window.
According to the report in the Italian publication, Juventus want to sign the former Manchester United forward on a free transfer.
Depay is under contract at Barcelona, but the two parties are in talks over a termination by mutual consent.
Tottenham’s bitter London and Premier League rivals Chelsea have also been linked with the 28-year-old Netherlands international forward.
The London Evening Standard reported just last week that the Dutchman has been offered to Chelsea.
Tottenham and Chelsea are the two London clubs most recently linked with Depay, and now Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol has made a very interesting claim about him.
Solhekol has said on Sky Sports News that he has been told this evening that a club from London have offered Depay £200,000 per week as salary.
Offer from a London club
The reporter said on Sky Sports News (7:54pm, August 11, 2022): “Juventus want to sign him, but they want to sign him as a free agent.
“The player himself would like to come back to England if he doesn’t get a move to Juventus. He wants to move to a big, big club in the Premier League.
“Of course we know he used to play for Manchester United. Now, I have been told this evening that a club in London have made an offer for him to Barcelona and they are willing to pay the player £200,000 a week.
“So if the deal with Juventus doesn’t work out, there is interest in the Premier League in Memphis Depay. He could be coming back, a London club willing to pay him £200,000 a week.”
Solhekol did not mention which London club have made the big offer to Depay.
Could it be Chelsea?
Or is it Tottenham?
Maybe another club in London want to sign Depay…
Arsenal?
