Player who rejected Tottenham was pushing for Chelsea move on deadline day - Reports

By Aditya Singh Modified 06 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Tottenham target Memphis Depay pushed to join Chelsea As per journalist Rudy Galetti, reported Tottenham Hotspur target Memphis Depay pushed for a move to Chelsea on Deadline Day (September 1). However, the Blues were not interested in signing the Barcelona man this summer. Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner both departed Stamford Bridge this summer to return to Inter Milan (on loan), and RB Leipzig, respectively. Hence, Thomas Tuchel's side were, in the market for a striker this transfer window. While they did speak with Depay's representatives, Chelsea were unwilling to match the forward's wage demands of €8 million per year. The Blues ended up signing another Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for £10 million with Marcos Alonso going the other way as part of the deal. As per SPORT, Tottenham were interested in signing Depay earlier in the window. While they didn't make an official proposal, they spoke to the Dutchman's representatives and Barcelona. However, the striker rejected a move in favor of waiting for other opportunities. The former Manchester United man eventually announced that he will be staying at Barcelona for at least another season. Memphis Depay@MemphisI have decided to stay at Barça !

However, he is yet to make an appearance in three matches this season, with Robert Lewandowski and Ansu Fati being preferred by manager Xavi. With the FIFA World Cup scheduled to take place later this year, Depay will hope to get more playing time for his club in order to be in shape for the Netherlands.
