Barcelona to use Emerson in swap deal to land Depay

Barcelona could offer Lyon their promising right-back Emerson as part of the Memphis Depay deal.

The Catalans seem to struggle to afford the Dutchman, that's why they consider striking a swap deal.

The Brazilian's estimated value is €25m while Lyon's rumoured asking price for Depay is €30m, so Barca might basically swap one player for another.

Emerson hasn't made a single appearance for the Catalans but proved himself as a solid defensive option at Real Betis.
