According to <a href="https://twitter.com/em_sandy/status/1752294153948463504" target="_blank">BBC Sport reporter Emma Sanders,</a> the Spanish giants are 'interested' in the City forward - who is out of contract this summer. However, she adds that the 23-year-old, who moved to the Cityzens from Bristol City in 2018, has been offered a new deal by the Women's Super League outfit.

WHAT HAPPENED?

If Barcelona do offer Hemp a move there, that would be a tough transfer to turn down. The Catalan team won Liga F, the Supercopa de Espana and the Champions League last season, meaning the England international would have a great chance of playing at one of the best clubs in the world and picking up silverware. City have not been able to overhaul Chelsea as the dominant WSL side but with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/uswnt-chelsea-emma-hayes-perfect-coach-womens-world-cup-disaster/bltd88189d6519f5f79" target="_blank">Emma Hayes leaving at the end of this season</a>, perhaps that could shift from next term - and that may impact Hemp's decision.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Since Hemp's move to City nearly six years ago, the former Norwich City academy product has scored 60 times in 138 appearances. She has also chalked up 51 caps for England, scoring 16 goals in the process, and playing a huge part in their Euro 2022 success and the Lionesses' run to the 2023 World Cup final.

DID YOU KNOW?

With City second in the WSL, three points behind league leaders Chelsea, they are unlikely to let Hemp leave during the January transfer window but a move to Barca would be a very tempting proposal. It remains to be seen if she will accept City's contract offer, head to Spain this summer, or take a different course of action entirely.
