Barcelona forward Memphis Depay has admitted that despite all the difficulties, he wants to continue donning the royal blue of Balugrana beyond the summer.

In case there is, in fact, a new face, the team will have no problem in parting ways since Depay will fall further down the pecking order below Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati and the new forward.

However, regardless of what has been said in the media, the 28-year-old recently shed light on his future where he admitted that he wants to continue at Camp Nou.

“I was the team’s top scorer”, he was quoted as saying.

“I’ve only been here for a season, but I feel at home in Barcelona. I look forward to going back again,” he added.

Upon being asked whether he wants to stay, his one-word answer was a plain “yes”.
