Memphis Depay has according to the General Newspaper bought a house in The Hague. The ‘modest retreat’ is not intended for the Barcelona attacker himself; he wants to rent out the 1930s porch apartment. With this, Depay seems to want to focus on real estate in addition to his career as a football player.
It seems obvious that the footballer himself will not settle in the building. Depay lives in Barcelona and next to his home there has a luxury penthouse in the Montevideo tower in Rotterdam. He also owns a farmhouse in Heeten, where his mother lives, worth more than 5.5 tons. Finally, Depay has a house in Eindhoven, which he left over from his time as a PSV player. At the time, the 77-times Dutch international laid down 3.5 tons for the move, as it is knownGeneral Newspaper†
With those facts in mind, Depay seems to have bought the property in December of last year in order to rent it out again. Reportedly, the attack leader asks for an amount of 1500 euros per month. In addition, the deposit of 3100 euros is also for the account of the tenant. Incidentally, Depay is just in time with the construction; The purchase protection scheme came into effect on 1 March of this year. This regulation prohibits the rental of houses up to a WOZ value of 3.5 tons, which should sideline wealthy investors.
Depay made 35 official appearances for Barcelona this season after coming over on a free transfer from Olympique Lyon in the summer, in which he managed to find the net twelve times and was a principal twice. According to various Spanish media, the striker is nominated to leave again after this season los Azulgrana and would have no complaints about interest.
According to Fabrizio Romano, among others, English clubs would have reported to Depay, but the Dutchman does not want to know anything about it. “I came here because I wanted to play for Barcelona. I want to be important for this team, also next year and for many years after that”, Depay explains to ESPN† The chance that Depay himself will soon have to move seems small.
