Memphis had to deal with Ronald Koeman leaving and an injury but still managed to finish the season as Barcelona’s top scorer.
Memphis was a starter under Koeman, but after Xavi Hernandez came in, the Dutch international was on the bench more. Speaking to NOS, Memphis said, “I did not fall out of favor. I got injured at a very awkward moment. When I came back, there were three new signings. The team was winning.
“Whether it was a bad period? Sure. But I trained hard, kept my mouth shut, and showed that I am better.”
Memphis has another year on his contract with Barcelona and he has been linked with a move back to the Premier League. However, Memphis has no desire to leave, “It feels like home. I look forward to reporting back there.”
When asked by NOS reporter Jeroen Stekelenburg whether he wants to stay, Memphis responds briefly, “Yes.”
