Memphis Depay is hardly playing for Xavi Hernandez's Barcelona. This has been like that for some time and Depay has been linked with a move away from the Catalan capital. That is the only way Joan Laporta will be able to get some money from his sale, which will have to be in January. Otherwise, the Dutchman will be able to leave for free. Therefore, 'Sport' says the player has been offered to Newcastle.
This happened in the past and the Magpies are very interested in signing the Dutchman, who has a lot of experience at the highest level. In addition, he has never played in the Premier League, so this would be an interesting challenge for him. The Premier League would be the third of the top five leagues he would be playing in as he had already been at Lyon.
As well as this information on the Dutch star, 'Sport' also says that Barcelona are considering selling Ez Abde for 20 million euros. He is currently on loan at Osasuna. At the moment, there is no news of any club being especially interested in him. The team that know him best are Osasuna, the club he is currently on loan at.
The Barca academy player got some regular playing time last season when he made 12 appearances and scored a goal. However, things are very different now and he is looking to make an impact in Pamplona. At Osasuna, he is set to play more than ever before and a move away could be just around the corner.
