Depay's poor form forces Barcelona to enter the summer transfer window to find another striker to support Ferran Torres.
Catalans seek to stop experimenting and bring an approached name to Camp Nou. Such is Sadio Mane of Liverpool. He enters the final year of his contract with the English and renewal talks have not yet begun. Barca are closely monitoring the situation as they aim for a hit with the Senegalese superstar.
The 30-year-old has been with Liverpool since 2016 and a key player in Jurgen Klopp's squad and the successes they have achieved over the years. However, his contract situation has cast doubt on his future.
Barcelona, for its part, are looking for a mature striker to lead their project under Xavi Hernandez. Erling Haaland was their main target, but borussia Dortmund's side finished at City.
Robert Lewando-ski is another name the Blaugrans have considered, but Bayern Munich are resisting forcing Barcelona to seek further opportunities and according to Mundo Deportivo, the 30-year-old Liverpool superstar is open to joining Barcelona this summer.
Spanish media say the former Southampton and Red Bull Salzburg striker believes there would be a higher chance of winning the Ballon d'Or if he played for Barcelona.
Another factor is the player's desire to play in La Liga, especially with Barcelona. Special preference for Barcelona.
Liverpool are in the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League finals as they battle Man City for the Premier League title. Having already won the Carabao Cup this season, Liverpool have an opportunity for the 'quad'.
If they do, Mane will be in the running for the Ballon d'Or, although at Liverpool this season he has been in the shadow of Momo Salam.
