BARCELONA will include Memphis Depay in a blockbuster swap deal for Robert Lewandowski, according to reports.
The 33-year-old Bayern Munich star is said to have verbally agreed a deal with the LaLiga side.
Mundo Deportivo report that the Catalan club are meeting with Bayern to negotiate a transfer in the "next few days".
The Spanish giants are "clear that Lewandowski must lead the project for next season".
The striker's contract runs out in 2023, and Bayern may cash in on him this summer "if they can find a replacement".
Barcelona are looking to land the Polish international for around £30million, plus 28-year-old Memphis.
