Lewandowski and Depay swap

Robert Lewandowski is on his way out of Bayern Munich - but Barcelona may have to do some hard bargaining to land the prolific Polish centre-forward.

The Catalan giants, operating within a financial straitjacket, have told the German champions they cannot pay more than £32 million for the 33-year-old, who has scored a remarkable 56 goals for club and country this season.

But according to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona may be prepared to throw in Dutch striker Memphis Depay, who only moved to the Nou Camp last summer, as a makeweight in any deal.

Meanwhile, Bayern are leading the race to sign Barcelona misfit Ousmane Dembele on a free transfer. French paper L'Equipe say Bayern will offer him a four-year deal worth £16 million-a-year.

"In football, when you have something on your mind, if a decision is coming up, you don't talk about it. It's his decision, and I'm waiting for it like you are.

Carragher on Salah's contract situation

He said last night on Sky Sports: "Jurgen Klopp has turned good players into great players, and Mo Salah was one of them. He was a very good player, now he's become a superstar.

"Gini Wijnaldum was one of them. Coutinho was one of them. Emre Can was another one, who wasn't quite at that level.

"But these are three players who maybe thought they deserved more off Liverpool in terms of wages. They made a move and it's never been the same for them.
