La Liga giants Barcelona have agreed to sell their star forward Memphis Depay to rivals Atletico Madrid. The Dutchman had a disastrous season, as he scored just one goal against Elche.
Depay had been linked with several clubs, including Premier League outfits Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle United and Tottenham. But he chose Atletico Madrid. As per Fabrizio Romano, Memphis Depay will leave Barcelona to join Atletico Madrid with an agreement reached on a fee of approximately € 3-4 million.
