Barcelona are quickly approaching the summer transfer window and that means a number of big chances at the club.
The Spanish giants have been linked with a number of high-profile arrivals after the end of the season, but to facilitate that the club will also have to move on a number of players too.
One such star that could find his spell in Catalonia cut short is none other than Memphis Depay, who has seen his standing in Xavi's side tumble down the pecking order since the arrival of new forwards in January.

According to Fichajes, the Holland international has no less than three admirers in the Premier League and lists them as Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton.
So how much could Barcelona look to make on a striker they signed for free less than 12 months ago?
How much is Depay worth?
Although Depay hasn’t managed to live up to expectations at Barca, he certainly hasn’t been an abject failure and in many ways he’s proved to be a perfectly solid forward.
Indeed, the 28-year-old was certainly not an ideal replacement for the departing Lionel Messi, but he has still managed to bag 10 goals and two assists for Barca this season.
More importantly, his time at Lyon saw him pick up 76 goals and 55 assists in just 178 games for the Ligue 1 giants and it will be that return that potential buyers will be keeping in mind in the summer.
According to reports in Spain, no less than five clubs are sniffing around the Netherland’s international with the likes of Inter, Milana and Juventus all taking a keen interest.
With a potential bidding war in mind and a contract at Barca that is still set to run until the summer of 2023, Depay is valued at €47 million and could end up leaving the club for as much as €58 depending on his popularity in the market.
