Barcelona and Liverpool are in contact about a striker swap in January.

Sport says after a summer where Memphis Depay had one foot out of the club but ended up staying, the Dutchman might not finish the season with the Catalans.

In England they say that he might move to Liverpool in exchange for Roberto Firmino coming to Camp Nou.

A trade that could end up favouring both. Firmino has lost protagonism at Anfield, where he has just a few months left on his deal, while there are plenty of forwards ahead of Memphis in the pecking order. Like Firmino, he could leave for free next summer.

Both players have similar profiles, No 9s who can move a lot and operate in other roles.
