The Catalans agreed to sell Memphis to the "mattress owners" for three million euros. Instead, they received the right of first priority to buy out the 29-year-old Belgian for 15-20 million euros as part of the agreement. Carrasco was always involved in the negotiations between the parties about the transfer of Depay, and at one point Barca demanded a direct exchange.

The winger will continue to be an important part of Simeone's side as they look to qualify for next year's Champions League.
