Juve consider signing Memphis because of his wages

Barcelona are counting on the departure of Memphis Depay to help with the registration of Jules Kounde. Although it will still not be enough, it will allow the French centre-back to play with a further move.

This Monday will be the key day to know if Juventus will finally sign Memphis Depay. His arrival at the 'Bianconeri' seemed clear, but everything has stalled in recent days.

Allegri, the 'Vecchia Signora' coach, will meet with the Italian club's board to decide whether to make a final push for the Dutchman or go for a different target.

'Tuttosport' explained that it was the player's salary that stalled the striker's move to Juventus. Sebastien Ladure, Memphis' lawyer, was in Italy this past weekend.

The Dutchman is asking for a two-season contract, plus another option, for seven million euros each, plus bonuses, a price the 'Bianconeri' are not willing to pay.
