Depay is ready to move to Serie A after the European Championships: his time is over at Atletico Madrid. He arrives in Italy to relaunch himself.
The last chance to try to record as a protagonist. Memphis Depay at 30 years old he is looking for the continuity he has never had in recent seasons. There has been no shortage of important and heavy shirts in his career, of course, but with that talent never perhaps expressed 100% it leaves a very bitter taste in the mouth.
Depay was just in time to hurt Inter Champions League, scoring the 2-1 goal in Atletico Madrid-Inter which had extended the match won by the Spaniards in the round of 16 to extra time and then penalties. Last bell of a season with little joy, 5 goals in La Liga in 23 appearances. But there is no time to make up for the class of 1994. Starting from the European Championships, then it will be goodbye to Madrid.
The confirmation of his farewell came directly from Koeman, who stated that Depay will not wear the colchoneros shirt next season. There is no shortage of admirers in Italy, and one above all could take advantage of the Dutchman’s expiring contract.
Depay, goodbye to Atletico after the European Championships: there is an Italian
At the moment the Dutchman only has the European Championship in mind, where Zirkzee will not be at his side among others. Depay with the Orange he would like to bring home a trophy that has been missing since 1988, but he is also looking to the future. Once the tournament in Germany is over the player will sit at the negotiating table and listen to the most attractive offers.
In Serie A, now that the feeling with Inter, Juventus and Milan, who had courted him for a long time in recent years, has ended, the closest team seems to be Rome. The Giallorossi have many question marks in attack, and a low cost shot of this type could be gold for the Giallorossi club, although it is still a sort of yet another gamble.
The price for Depay
A contract expiring in 2025 and perhaps the last great chance to sign an important job at the age of 30 in Europe. Memphis Depay, after much flirtation with Serie A, could really arrive in Italy this year.
The price is around 10 million euros, and the salary is not entirely prohibitive either (around 4 million euros). Roma, who will have to plug some holes in attack, seem to be the closest team compared to other Italian teams. But Depay’s future will be decided after the German European Championship.
