To address their striker problem, Manchester United is reportedly considering a deal for a former player.
A Spanish news outlet claims that Manchester United is planning to make a move for former striker Memphis Depay.
The Camp Nou side is eager to see the Dutch striker leave, and Memphis is looking for a way out of Barcelona. They need to free up space so that their new hires can register.
Memphis, 28, appeared to be heading to Juventus. According to Sky Italia, however, that agreement has encountered problems as a result of Juve shifting their attention to Arkadiusz Milik.
Juve’s decision to choose the Marseille player over Memphis is the result of a meeting with club officials. The fact that deal fell through has given United the opportunity.
Memphis, who spent two seasons at Old Trafford from 2015 to 2017, has been the subject of a proposed £8.5 million bid.
Memphis and Barcelona have agreed to sever their relationship. The Dutchman still has one more year with Barcelona, but they want to let him go.
Additionally, United is interested in Cody Gakpo of PSV and Antony of Ajax. However, the information indicates that in addition to one of those arriving at Old Trafford, United would pursue Memphis.
Memphis was acquired from PSV in the summer of 2015 by former United manager Louis van Gaal for £25 million. Before leaving for Lyon in January 2017, he went on to make 53 appearances and score seven goals.
