Former Manchester United winger, Memphis Depay is attracting interest from three top European clubs for a possible summer transfer, Softfootball reports.
No clubs were mentioned but the former Netherlands international is keen on a move back to Europe after he joined Brazilian side Santos on a two-year deal.
According to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, the clubs are serious about negotiating a deal for the skillful players.
He said:
“Memphis Depay has been approached by three European clubs in the recent days, possibly on a free agent basis from Corinthians.
“Netherlands’ all-time top scorer had 33 goal contributions over last 11 months and considers an exit as possibility.”
Memphis Depay has a new style of playing. He is pacey and a tricky player, direct with his running which makes him a difficult opponent for defenders. Memphis has got some special free-kick ability even now at 33-year-old.
Former Dutch international and Dutch national team manager Ronald Koeman regards Memphis as “a great talent”, but says that he must continue his personal development due to the physicality and mental strength needed in modern football.
When he was younger, Memphis was compared to former Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo and fellow international Arjen Robben. Depay, who played for Manchester United, Barcelona and PSV failed to establish himself as an elite player and it was no surprise when he made the switch to Brazil.
Meanwhile, Memphis Depay ‘s former club, Manchester United have begun the Premier League poorly despite signing attacking reinforcements in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Šeško.
After two matches in the premier league this season, the Red Devils have failed to score as they lost 1-0 at Old Trafford to Arsenal and drew 1-1 against Fulham but their goal against the Cottagers was an own goal.
The Red Devils will hope they finish above the 15th spot they were last season.
