As: Depay is expected to make a comeback in mid-January with new signings arriving or jeopardizing the Dutch striker's position

According to the newspaper As, Barca goalscorer Depay is expected to make a comeback in mid-January next year, when the team will usher in the Spanish Super Cup. At the same time, Barca are stepping up the pace of reinforcements in the winter window, so the arrival of new signings may endanger the position of the Dutch striker.

At the beginning of the season, Depay was an absolute mainstay in Barca's forward line, with the Dutchman performing well and contributing key goals in consecutive games. But as the season progressed and the national team played frequently, Depay looked very tired and inefficient, and eventually he was injured in the Champions League match against Bayern, basically saying goodbye to all the remaining matches in 2021.

At the same time, Barca are confident of bringing in two strikers in the winter window, with Ferran Torres and Cavani being the Catalan giants' primary targets. If the duo succeed in joining in January, Barca's No. 9 spot will usher in fierce competition. In addition, there is the return of Fati and Brayswaite, when Depay, who has just recovered from injury, may lose the starting position.
