Depay wanted by Utd, City, PSG and Spurs

Memphis Depay and PSV Eindhoven beat Heerenveen 4-1 to win the Eredivisie title for the first time in seven seasons.

Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are all in the hunt for PSV Eindhoven’s Memphis Depay, the Dutch club have revealed.

Depay, 21, is one of Europe’s most exciting prospects with 20 goals and three assists in 27 Eredivisie outings this season.

PSV’s sporting director, Marcel Brands, told Dutch TV the newly crowned Eredivisie champions have already fended off PSG and Spurs during the winter transfer window.

“PSG and Tottenham wanted to buy Depay in January, and they offered €20 million,” Brands said. “PSG are interested, as are Manchester United and Manchester City. But it will clearly cost more than the bids we have already rejected.”

Earlier this month, PSV admitted that much-coveted midfielder Depay could leave in the summer.

Brands told ANP: “The chances are very high that he leaves. If you see what clubs are enquiring about him, they really are the best in Europe.”

Depay was a member of Louis van Gaal’s Netherlands squad who finished third in last summer’s World Cup.
