4 strikers Barcelona could sign in the January transfer market

Memphis Depay of Lyon

The Dutch striker is the one that Ronald Koeman is after and would have loved to have him in the squad before the beginning of the season. However, due to the aforementioned Dembele situation, the club must now wait until they fix their finances to sign him. Ideally, they can sign the winger/striker in June after his contract with Lyon runs out but the situation is getting dire in Barcelona and they have understood that Lionel Messi cannot be given the role of getting the goals. They need a proper number nine to put the balls in the back of the net. Although Depay is not a traditional number nine, Koeman has stated that he only used the Dutch player in that position and thus he trusts the player to solve their problems. Lyon were reportedly ready to let their striker leave for just 25 million euros in the last transfer window but the same amount could be a bit expensive for the Catalans given their financial situation. But then again he is the most prolific player that the club should be able to afford.
