Depay Looking Forward To Playing With Messi

Depay Looking Forward To Playing With Messi

Netherlands forward Memphis Depay has insisted he is eager to lineup with Lionel Messi following his free move to Barcelona.

Depay has lauded the Argentina superstar as the best player in the world and insists every player in the world would like to play with Messi.

The 34-year-old was linked with a move away from Catalonia with the likes of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain all said to be yearning to secure his services.

Messi is out of contract at the Camp Nou, but recent reports have posited that the six-time Ballon d’Or winner is close to agreeing a new deal with a pay cut due to the club’s recent financial struggles.

Depay, who moved to Barcelona on a free transfer following his exit from Lyon at the end of the 2020-21 season, has expressed his desire to play with Messi.

The former Manchester United man told Barca’s media channels: “He’s a legend, best player in the world. You saw what he did in Copa America. I’m very much looking forward to playing with him, his quality is undoubted. I have to just make my runs and I know the ball will come.”

“Because he has too much quality, he can do everything with the ball. I think everybody in the world would like to play with someone like that.”

“I had a tour of the museum and saw all of the Ballon d’Or awards. He probably has another one coming too. It’s going to be a dream for me.”
