Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Barcelona on Sunday, November 15.

The summer transfer window has now closed, shutting the door on one of the most turbulent spells in Barcelona's history.

The Spanish giants were rocked by Lionel Messi's request to leave the club, sparking a bitter contract dispute which ultimately ended with the six-time Ballon d'Or winner reluctantly agreeing to stay for at least another season.

Other notable names such as Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal did leave, though, while Messi's future is sure to be the subject of much more speculation going forward.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news from the Camp Nou.

Sunday morning's Barcelona transfer talk news roundup:


Memphis Depay 'ready to force Barcelona move'

Lyon attacker Memphis Depay is reportedly prepared to force a January move to Barcelona.

The Netherlands international was strongly linked with a switch to Camp Nou over the summer, but the Catalan outfit could not come to an agreement with Lyon over a transfer fee.

Memphis's contract in France is due to expire next June, meaning that as it stands, he will be able to discuss terms with foreign clubs in January over a free transfer.

Barca are thought to be keen to sign the 26-year-old during the winter transfer window, but Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas recently suggested that the club are not open to a mid-season sale.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Dutchman does not want to wait until next summer to move to Ronald Koeman's side and will therefore attempt to force a January switch.

The former Manchester United attacker has been in strong form for Les Gones during the 2020-21 campaign, contributing five goals and three assists in 10 Ligue 1 appearances.

Juventus and Roma are also said to be keeping a close eye on developments.



Real Madrid to rival Barcelona for Eric Garcia?

Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Manchester City centre-back Eric Garcia.

The 19-year-old was strongly linked with a return to Barcelona over the summer, but the Catalan giants could not come to an agreement with the Citizens over a transfer fee.

Garcia has signalled that he does not want to extend his contract at the Etihad Stadium, meaning that as it stands he will be a free agent next summer.

Barca could return with an offer for the teenager in January, but according to Sport, Madrid have also joined the race for the Spain international.

The report claims that Villarreal's Pau Torres has also emerged as a potential option for Zinedine Zidane's side either in January or at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

Madrid will allegedly make an announcement on Sergio Ramos's future at the start of next week.
