Some Liverpool fans on Twitter are buzzing over one potential transfer rumour from Spain.

According to Marca, Liverpool are among the clubs interested in signing Memphis Depay this summer.

The Netherlands international is available on a free transfer in June after Lyon failed to tie him down to a new deal.

The former Manchester United winger has 15 goals and nine assists across all competitions for the French outfit this season.

Liverpool might need additional attacking players during the summer amid speculation of Xherdan Shaqiri leaving, while Takumi Minamino was loaned to Southampton in January.

Here’s how fans of the Anfield club reacted to the prospect of signing Depay:

If Liverpool fail to win the Champions League then they may not even be in the competition next term.

The Reds are seventh in the Premier League table and failing to secure their entry into Europe’s elite competition for next term will have a major knock-on effect in terms of finances.

It’s possible that Michael Edwards and Jurgen Klopp may need to be frugal this summer and Depay, as a free transfer, would be one hell of a bargain.
