Liverpool and Barcelona might swap two of their players

Memphis Depay, a forward for Barcelona, has been linked to Liverpool, and if that happens, Roberto Firmimo may end up in the opposite direction. Throughout the summer transfer season, the Reds were linked to a number of prospective new midfielders, but following Darwin Nunez's arrival, talk of forwards was comparatively quiet. Nevertheless, Spanish news reports have indicated that Depay may be on Liverpool's radar.

The notion of a swap trade for Depay in January is being "studied" by the Reds. According to the report, one Reds player would travel in the other way as a result, and there would be no transfer fee. According to rumours, that player might be Roberto Firmino, and negotiations may pick up speed as the January transfer window approaches. According to the article, Depay may be useful in this situation because neither team wants to lose either player for free.
