Barcelona forward Memphis Depay is considering his future amid interest from Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur, according to Sport.
Sport have reported that Depay knows that he will not be the leading figure in the Barcelona attack next season and may not start too many games.
Barcelona are open to selling the 28-year-old former Manchester United forward and will not ask for a lot in transfer fee, having signed him on a free in the summer of 2021.
The report has added that Depay is now considering his future and is open to leaving Barcelona in the summer of 2022.
Mundo Deportivo have reported that Tottenham are keen on signing Depay and see the Dutchman as ‘the ideal replacement’ to replace star striker Harry Kane, who could leave this summer.
Could Depay be Kane’s replacement at Tottenham?
In our opinion, Depay cannot be the ideal replacement for Kane at Tottenham.
Kane is a world-class striker who bangs in the goals for fun.
Now, Depay is a good striker who can also play out wide.
However, we do not think that the Netherlands international is at the level of Kane.

Depay has scored 10 goals and given two assists in 20 La Liga games for Barcelona so far this season.
The former Lyon star endured a tough time at Manchester United, scoring two goals in 33 appearances in the Premier League.
In our view, Depay would be a good signing for Tottenham to play with Kane or be his back-up, but not as an outright replacement.
