Barca close to completing Memphis-Correa swap deal with Inter

As the days go by, news of Memphis Depay's possible departure from Barcelona before his contract expires continues to grow louder and louder. The Dutch international's contract with the club expires this summer, which is why Barca are already considering a move for the player in the current winter transfer window.

The plan of the 'Cules' is to find a new destination for Memphis this January and it seems that they have already found the ideal place for their player. Although the possibility of the former Lyon striker joining Atletico Madrid in a possible swap deal with Yannick Carrasco has been rumoured for days, in the last few hours the future of the player from the Netherlands has changed.

Not because he is going to renew his contract with Barcelona, but because his future does not seem to be linked to the Spanish competition, but to the Italian one. Memphis could add a new experience to his long career as a professional player by adding Serie A to his list of competitions.

The 28-year-old attacker already knows what it's like to compete in the Eredivisie with PSV, in the Premier League with Manchester United and in Ligue 1 after his time with Lyon, not to mention La Liga. Well, Memphis could now join Inter Milan and add a fifth league to his huge experience as a professional.

From Carrasco to Correa

After Barcelona beat Real Madrid in the final of the Spanish Super Cup to become champions, Gerard Romero revealed on his 'Jijantes' Twitch channel that Barca and Inter are very close to completing a swap deal between Depay and Joaquin Correa. However, the aforementioned source clarified that the operation would only go ahead if the Dutch international accepts the swap deal.

The Argentina international has a contract with the Italian club until the summer of 2025. The 25-year-old striker joined Inter for the 2021-22 season after spells at Estudiantes La Plata, Sampdoria, Sevilla and Lazio. So far this season, he has scored three goals and provided another three assists in 21 official matches, seven of them starts. In his two years in Milan, he has scored nine goals and provided six assists in 57 games.
