Sport have revealed that Man United and Tottenham target Memphis Depay will make a final decision on his Barcelona future next week.
Depay has struggled for game time at Camp Nou this season, having made just two league appearances for the Catalan club in 2022-23 (Transfermarkt).

90 min reported last month that the 28-year-old was one of the options on Tottenham’s radar ahead of January while Marca claimed last week that the Netherlands international will only be open to joining a Champions League club.
Sport have now stated that Spurs, Manchester United, Roma and Juventus have all shown interest in Depay but add that none of those clubs have made any concrete moves for the forward as of yet.
It is explained that while Barca were initially willing to cash in on the former Lyon man since his contract runs out next summer, Xavi has now changed his mind as he fears that injuries to his forwards could leave him short of options in the second half of the season.
The Barca boss is said to be aware that it will be difficult to reinforce the team in January, and would thus prefer to hold on to Depay.
Sport add that the La Liga club’s final decision could depend on the kind of fee they receive for the striker and if the player himself forces a move. It is alleged that Depay will communicate his final decision to the club when he returns to training next week.
Spurs Web Opinion
Depay does not fit the profile of an attacker that Tottenham are likely to be on the lookout for as Conte already has two very good centre-forward options in Kane and Richarlison.
The likes of Chelsea and Man Utd are much more likely to make a move for Depay while I can also see Arsenal expressing an interest in the Barca star following the injury to Gabriel Jesus.
