Atletico offered Barca a trade: Lemar in exchange for Depay

Joao Felix decided to leave on loan to Chelsea and Atletico are looking for a replacement. Memphis Depay is the main contender and the Atletico board is already negotiating for him.

According to Gerard Romero, Atletico made an official proposal to Barcelona: they offered Lemar in exchange for Depay.

Nevertheless, Xavi Hernandez's side rejected this offer as they are not interested in exchanging players.

Barcelona is not under pressure. Atletico will have to meet the financial demands of Joan Laporta's board if they want Memphis Depay. In addition, the club have confirmed that talks are ongoing.
