Memphis Depay Explains His Reasons For Joining Atletico Madrid

Memphis Depay, a recent Atletico Madrid acquisition, claims he transferred from Barcelona to Atletico because Los Rojiblancos wanted him.

Early on Friday, Depay signed a contract with Diego Simeone’s team for €3 million, plus €1 million in bonuses from Barcelona.

The two-and-a-half-year contract the Dutch international signed will keep him at Atletico until the conclusion of the 2024–25 season.

“Everything went well, and it happened really quickly. According to statements cited by Mundo Deportivo, “I had a fantastic talk with the coach and I’m excited to demonstrate what I can accomplish.

“Last year, I played against them, and I was astonished with the stadium, the fervor, and the passion.

It is a very large club with a superb squad and an excellent history. I’ve heard a lot of positive things about them. It is really significant that they wanted me.
