With the January transfer window now open around Europe there's plenty of gossip swirling about who's moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!

TOP STORY: Memphis nears Barcelona exit

Netherlands forward Memphis Depay is set to leave Barcelona in January and is open to a move to Atletico Madrid, according to Fabrizio Romano.

While no decision nor agreement has been finalised, Depay's time at Camp Nou looks to be drawing to an end. In total, he has made 42 appearances for Barcelona and scored 14 goals since joining in 2021.

An earlier report by Mundo Deportivo on Saturday stated that Atletico had approached Barcelona for Depay as part of an exchange deal following the departures of Joao Felix (Chelsea) and Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers). Atletico are also offering Thomas Lemar in the deal, with the 27-year-old midfielder's contract expiring at the end of the season.

However, Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez reportedly prefers Yannick Carrasco for the rest of the season, but Los Colchoneros are not eager to include the 29-year-old midfielder in the deal with their rivals. The Belgium international is out of contract in 2024, so the Catalan side would be expected to pay the Madrid club a transfer fee.

Sources told ESPN earlier this week that Spain international striker Borja Iglesias was also on Atletico Madrid's radar but Real Betis are demanding a big fee, which has forced coach Diego Simeone to look elsewhere.
