Barcelona striker Depay expected to complete Atletico move after Simeone training
2023-01-20 12:32Barcelona striker Memphis Depay appears set to join Atletico Madrid after he was spotted training under manager Diego Simeone in the club's kit .
The 28 -year-old Netherlands international has been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid over the past few days, with multiple reports in the Spanish press suggesting a deal could be imminent.
Although the two clubs have yet to make an official announcement, Memphis took part in Thursday's training session with Atletico Madrid, a move the club said was made with Barcelona 's permission, as the transfer is expected to be finalized in the next few hours.
Depay was given the green light to fly to Madrid, although Barcelona will face Ceuta in the Copa del Rey round of 16 later on Thursday . Spanish media reported that after he passed Atletico's medical, he asked to join his future team-mates at the training ground.
Depay is about to face
Atletico expect Depay to start as early as Saturday, when they host Valladolid in La Liga .
Depay joined Barcelona on a free transfer from Olympique Lyonnais in July 2021 , signing a two-year contract.
According to Spanish media, he will sign a two-year contract with Atletico Madrid with a transfer fee of 3 million euros or about 3.25 million US dollars.
Depay has scored 14 goals in 42 appearances for Barcelona , but he fell out of favor with manager Xavi Hernandez after the club signed Poland striker Robert Lewandowski last year .
