Depay has a year left on his contract and Barcelona are keen to offload him before the end of the window on 1st September.
West Ham have made an approach to the Dutchman and are interested in taking him back to the Premier League in the coming weeks, while Tottenham are insisting on being able to sign him.
David Moyes wants to add more creativity to his squad and has approved West Ham’s pursuit of the Depay.
But the Hammers are facing a significant hurdle in convincing the player as Depay would prefer to join a Champions League club, boosting Tottenham’s hopes, but damaging West Ham’s.
The winger would have preferred to stay at Barcelona but is aware that he could have to move on from the Catalan giants.
However, Depay wants to continue to play in the Champions League and wants to join a club who are in Europe’s elite club competition.
West Ham are in the Europa Conference League ad are not one of the favourites to finish in the top four this season as well.
Juventus are also showing interest in Depay.
