Memphis Depay has revealed that he intends to remain at Barcelona for the 2022-23 campaign.
As a result of only penning a two-year contract at Camp Nou last summer, the future of the Netherlands international is inevitably up in the air.
At one stage, it appeared that the 28-year-old would be sold by the Catalan giants, but Depay has since returned to the first-team fold, now reaching 11 goals from 24 outings in La Liga.
Despite ongoing speculation regarding the next phase of his career, Depay has indicated that he wants to continue his career at Barcelona.
Speaking to reporters after Barcelona's 2-1 win over Mallorca on Sunday night, the attacker said: "I came here wanting to play for the team. I want to be important for the team next year and for several more years."
Boss Xavi acknowledged after the game that Depay had earned his place in the team, saying that "he must play" if he continues to produce the same level of performance.
