According to Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio and Fabrizio Romano, Depay is closing in on finally terminating his contract with Barcelona, something that has seemingly gone on for a couple of weeks now without all that much serious progress since he was deemed out of Xavi’s plans. And once Depay does secure his Camp Nou exit, it is then when Juventus will try to finalize an agreement with the Dutchman, according to reports, with the Italians offering up a two-year contract.

The termination of the contract with Barcelona will, according to both Di Marzio and Romano, potentially be the breakthrough that Juve has been hoping for. Di Marzio does note that the salary demands from Depay’s camp have increased, with Juve first reportedly offering a salary in the neighborhood of €6 million net.
