Atletico Madrid have officially acquired FC Barcelona winger Memphis Depay for an initial 3 million euros.
The 28-year-old, whose agreement was set to expire in the summer, signs a 2.5-year contract.
Memphis was seen working out with Atletico on Thursday evening with Barcelona's approval as the trade was being finalised. On Friday afternoon, the club announced the deal, and his presentation was set for that evening.
Yannick Carrasco, a Belgian winger now playing for Atletico, has a future signing option, according to Barcelona.
Depay, a former forward for Manchester United, has only appeared four times for the Spanish club this year due to a thigh injury.
Earlier in the transfer period, Atletico permitted Chelsea to sign forward Joao Felix from Portugal on a loan.
During his 18 months at Camp Nou, the Dutch attacker played 42 times for Barcelona, scoring 14 goals and dishing out 2 assists.
Though he had a promising start, all but one of those goal contributions came in his rookie year, and this season, he was of no use to Xavi Hernandez. He has only played 206 minutes of club football thus far.
He ought to bring Atletico Madrid's uneven offence decisiveness and goals in the closing third. Antoine Griezmann's superb passing range will have a good runner in him, and he should be able to get along with Alvaro Morata.
