Fiorentina has an eye on Memphis Depay, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports on Thursday. The thirty-year-old attacker will leave Atlético Madrid on a free transfer this summer and will now have an option in Italy in addition to AC Milan. Memphis’ salary could possibly be a stumbling block, it sounds.
La Gazzetta dello Sport knows that the Dutchman earned around four million euros a year at Atlético. The Italian medium writes that a possible deal between Fiorentina and Memphis will be complicated, but ‘not impossible if both parties want to cooperate’.
Because he is a transfer free, the newspaper expects that Fiorentina at least has a chance at his signature. It is not known whether the Dutchman himself is open to a switch to Fiorentina. La Gazzetta dello Sport also reports that Memphis’ agent is already negotiating with a club from Italy. The newspaper does not make it clear which club this concerns.
AC Milan
It appears to be about Milan, as journalist Gianluca Di Marzio and the Italian branch of GOAL reported on Wednesday evening that Memphis has also appeared on the radar of the Rossoneri.
The Dutch international is an alternative to Joshua Zirkzee at the San Siro, should the arrival of the Bologna striker prove unfeasible. In addition to Memphis, Milan also has Ermedin Demirovic (FC Augsburg) in their sights, Di Marzio reported.
The well-established journalist thinks that Memphis is certainly an option for the Milanese superpower, whether Zirkzee is attracted or not. The salary budget must first be carefully examined. According to GOAL, the attacker leaving Atlético is only second choice for the time being.
Memphis has played at Atlético since January 2023, which took him over from FC Barcelona for three million euros. The 92-time international of the Dutch national team played forty matches for the Madrid team in more than a year and a half. The attack leader was good for thirteen goals and two assists.
