Prem trio in contact for Barcelona striker Memphis Depay

Barcelona are prepared to offload Memphis Depay in January.

Barça have named a price target for Memphis in the January market. The club wants to reduce the wage bill and the player knows he will have to settle for a secondary role.

For now, there are no offers on the table, but his entourage are looking towards the Premier League, where there are several clubs interested, says Sport.

As in the summer, the player's entourage are informing interested clubs that the striker will arrive for free if he decides to leave. The club however still hope to cash in.

Another possibility is that Memphis gives up part of his payoff something that did not happen in the summer.

Former club Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have shown interest and await the Dutchman's performance at the World Cup before making the plunge.

The Blaugrana club could agree on some kind of compensation in the form of a future discount on a player from these clubs to make things easier.
