As Barcelona look to strengthen their options on the right flank, a familiar face has been offered to the club. Indeed, as reported by SPORT, Barcelona have been offered the opportunity to secure the signing of former La Masia trainee Sergio Canós, who plays for Premier League club Brentford, in the summer transfer window.

Canós joined Barça’s famed La Masia youth setup in 2010 and spent three years at the club, before departing for Liverpool in 2013. However, things did not click for the Spaniard in Merseyside and after just one senior appearance, he signed for Brentford on loan in 2015.More Link

Manchester City may have stolen a march on the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid in the race for Erling Haaland with their latest bumper offer for the striker. The Borussia Dortmund hitman is one of the most in-demand commodities heading into the summer transfer window, thanks to his €75 million release clause which will become active.

Despite having had some issues with injuries, the 21-year-old has enjoyed a prolific goalscoring record. Barcelona have been long chasing the signing of the Norwegian international, with president Joan Laporta meeting his agent Mino Raiola multiple times.More Link

According to breaking news from Cataluyna Radio, Barcelona have decided to not raise their contract renewal terms for Ronald Araujo after offering him three times his current salary during the initial offer. The Uruguayan has reportedly turned down their initial offer, deeming the raise not substantial enough to continue. He wants a salary that reflects his performances, which according to him, are at the level of Pedri and Ansu Fati.

Barcelona recognises that there are a lot of suitors for Araujo, but are willing to run the risk by not revising their offer any further. They hope that he will eventually accept the offer since there is a possibility of him getting a substantial raise during future renewals.More Link

The relationship between Dembele, and the hierarchy at Barca has been damning in recent times, and the latest turn of event proves that there’s no way back for the player at Barcelona.

Barcelona have been dealt a big blow ahead of their biggest game of the season following the news that young midfielder Pedri won’t be fit in time for the El Clasico this weekend. Barcelona host Real Madrid at the Nou Camp in the first of the two El Clasico meetings in the Spanish La Liga this season.

Spanish newspaper Marca revealed that Pedri won’t be in the Barcelona squad for the Real Madrid game due to the injury he sustained last month. Pedri has been a shining light for both club (Barcelona) and country (Spain). Spanish international Pedri is widely regarded as one of the best young players in the world. He was named the best young player at the Euro 2020 tournament this summer after helping Spain reach the last four stage of the tournament before they were beaten on penalties by eventual winners Italy after the two nations had played out a 1-1 draw at the end of both regulation time and extra time.

New Dutch national team manager Louis Van Gaal has won his first game in charge of the team after the emphatic win over Montenegro in a Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifier at the weekend. Van Gaal was appointed the Dutch manager for the third time in his career this summer following the disappointing campaign at Euro 2020. Frank De Boer was sacked shortly after the Dutch were eliminated in the round of 16 by the Czech Republic with Van Gaal named as his replacement.

Ex-Manchester United, Barcelona and Ajax Amsterdam boss Van Gaal didn’t have the best of starts after his team could only manage a 1-1 draw with hosts Norway last week Wednesday. Van Gaal’s team was much improved by the time Montenegro arrived in Amsterdam for their game.More Link

Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has reportedly informed the English club that he wishes to leave the Etihad stadium in favor of a move to the Spanish La Liga, with the league’s giants Barcelona and Real Madrid said to he keen on snapping him up this summer. Laporte has had a mixed spell since leaving Athletic Bilbao to sign for City some years ago and has found it hard to cement a regular starting spot in Pep Guardiola’s team. Guardiola has had to rotate his defensive options and has switched between John Stones, Nathan Ake, Laporte, and now Ruben Dias after the Portugal international defender joined from Benfica last summer.

After the signing of Dias, the Portuguese central defender has walked straight into the starting eleven and has not looked back since. His fine performances earned him a starting spot in the Portugal national team at the Euros but he was unable to guide his country to win the title. His emergence as City’s best defender has cast doubts over the future of Laporte at the Etihad and there is now a growing belief that the former Bilbao man could be on his way out of Pep Guardiola’s team.
