Ansu Fati was called up by Luis Enrique to the Spain squad for the UEFA Nations League but did not play a single minute. In fact, the Spaniard wanted to see for himself what a player looks like mentally and physically. On the first point, everything was fine, but the caution with which he managed his presence in the national team was the product of the caution with which Xavi has also managed his role in the first team since returning from injury. There is some concern in the club and medical services about his physical condition.

It was the journalist Ashraf bin Ayyad who sounded the alarm via his Twitter account: “He is not yet ready to compete at the highest level, he is far from ready. Barcelona believe they made a huge mistake by not having an operation.”

Sport was able to confirm that the concern was real and that the player underwent various tests to assess his physical condition in extreme situations. Well, in all of them he is not up to the level necessary for intense competition compared to the results he had before his long journey due to injuries. He has lost resistance, explosiveness, speed and power, a fact that keeps Barcelona’s medical services in check.

I had to have surgery

In fact, there is some fear that he will never regain one hundred percent of all the physical virtues that made him such a completely special player. Talent and the ability to score goals are clearly virtues he keeps intact, as evidenced by his six goals he has scored in fifteen games this season, divided into three different phases. His last goal was against Betis in the second game after reappearing after 21 games.

Ansu, after going through four surgeries, decided not to go to the operating room for the fifth time, even though this was the advice of the medical services. The youth team player preferred to opt for a conservative and less aggressive treatment, but it appears that it did not deliver the expected results as Ansu Fati is having difficulty recovering his pre-injury form. To the point of fear that it will never be the same as before. This is a major concern.

holiday month

Despite everything, the player will have a month off to relax, but at the same time, continue to work on his physical and mental recovery. The goal is for him to arrive at the preparatory season fully prepared and ready to undergo a preparation with which to forget the sensations again and, above all, to make the current physical standards take a quantum leap.

Mystery still dominates the fate of Frenchman Osman Dembele, the Barcelona star, regarding staying or leaving the walls of the “Camp Nou” during the next few days.

Dembele’s contract is scheduled to expire after 11 days, and so far, the Frenchman has not decided his final decision on whether to continue or leave Barcelona, ​​although he assured one of the club’s fans that he preferred to stay in the Catalan city.

According to the Spanish newspaper, “Marca”, Xavi Hernandez, the coach of Barca, is the most supportive of the renewal of Dembele’s contract within the walls of Barcelona.

The newspaper indicated that Xavi’s support for Dembele began with his refusal to terminate or freeze the player’s contract after the last winter Mercato, when he did not sign the new contract, although the administration wanted to dispense with him immediately.

And the newspaper reported, that Xavi still supports Dembele, as he asked the Barcelona administration to raise the offer made to the French wing for renewal, but Barca officials did not change the contract on the table.

The newspaper stated that the renewal negotiations with Dembele’s agent have not made any progress for weeks, and that the Barcelona administration does not intend to give the French player any improved offer.

In fact, there is a desire by Xavi to keep Dembele, which he told the management, the Spaniard requested that there be a new move from the club, but it seems that the financial crisis is limiting Barcelona’s hands.

Therefore, the administration did not move and did not present a new offer in favor of the Frenchman to stay for months, as there is no new financial income to help Barcelona in its mission to sign new deals or extend contracts.

Barcelona player Ousmane Dembele has ended the controversy over his future with the Catalan club, commenting on his association with Chelsea.

Dembele has a contract that expires at the end of this month and is expected to leave in light of his agent’s rejection of Barcelona’s various offers for renewal.
In a video posted by the Actualité-Barça account on Twitter, Ousmane Dembele made statements regarding his future.

And recent reports indicated that the French international is close to moving to the Blues, and everything seemed to indicate that he would be outside the Catalan club after his contract expires on June 30.

But through a video posted on social media, a fan appeared to ask him from his car at a traffic light about his move to Chelsea, and he replied: “I am happy in Barcelona,” and he replied, “Are you going to continue at Barca?” Ousmane Dembele replied, “Yes.”

The French player was aware that he was being filmed, so he responded diplomatically, without confirming the renewal or departure.

Press reports indicated that the player’s agent was sticking to a salary of up to 20 million euros annually, which was rejected by the Barcelona administration.

Play was linked to working again with his former coach, Thomas Tuchel, at Chelsea, a deal that has not been resolved yet.

He was also linked with Tottenham Hotspur and Antonio Conte asked to sign him.

Dembele returned from injury to shine with coach Xavi Hernandez and become the most goal-maker in the Spanish League.

يدرس نادي برشلونة الإسباني، برئاسة خوان لابورتا، فتح باب الخروج أمام عدد من لاعبيه، خلال نافذة الانتقالات الصيفية الجارية.

وفشل نادي برشلونة الإسباني، في تحقيق أى بطولة تذكر في الموسم المنصرم، حيث احتل وصافة جدول ترتيب الليجا، بفارق 13 نقطة، عن ريال مدريد، صاحب اللقب.

وسيبدأ نادي برشلونة في وضع خطته وأولوياته من أجل تصحيح الأوضاع في النادي بعد تفعيل الرافعات الاقتصادية، بحثًا عن استعادة التوازن في فاتورة الأجور وسداد الديون المتراكمة.

وفي هذا الإطار ذكرت صحيفة “سبورت” الكتالونية، إن البارسا بات مجبرا على التخلص من 12 لاعبا، خلال الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي، حتى يتمكن من إبرام تعاقدات جديدة.

وتابعت إن النادي الكتالوني، سيبدأ في اتخاذ تدابير صارمة بداء من الأول من شهر يوليو المقبل، عن طريق التفاوض مع عدد من لاعبيه على الرحيل، بجانب إنهاء قسري للعقود في حالة اللاعبين الذين يرفضون مغادرة الكامب نو.

وأكدت الصحيفة المقربة من أسوار البلوجرانا، إن اللاعبين المهمشين سيوافقون على مغادرة نادي برشلونة الإسباني، طالما أنهم لن يفقدوا رواتبهم.

برشلونة يفكر في عملية إنهاء عقود ما بين 10 إلى 12 لاعبًا من أجل خفض فاتورة الرواتب التي تقف كحجر عثرة أمام النادي الكتالوني.

ويبحث النادي عن إقناع بعض اللاعبين بالرحيل عن النادي عن طريق الموافقة على صفقات بيع مجانية، أو فسخ التعاقد بالتراضي، أو بجزء من الشروط الجزائية.

وأوضحت الصحيفة الإسبانية، أن برشلونة يفكر في إنهاء تعاقد صامويل أومتيتي مدافع الفريق، مستغلين اهتمام العديد من الأندية بالحصول على خدماته.

وأشار التقرير إلى أن اللاعب الفرنسي مستعد لقبول فسخ تعاقده مع البلوجرانا، مقابل الحصول على جزء بسيط من الشرط الجزائي في عقده.

ويدرس برشلونة أيضًا فسخ التعاقد مع الحارس البرازيلي نيتو الذي لم يتبق له سوى عام واحد على نهاية عقده ويريد النادي إطلاق سراحه، خاصة مع عدم وجود أي اهتمام حقيقي من الأندية بضمه خلال سوق الانتقالات الجاري.

وجدير بالذكر، أن برشلونة أعلن يوم الأربعاء الماضي عن أول صفقاته الصيفية بالتعاقد مع بابلو توري لاعب وسط نادي راسينج سانتاندير.

Barcelona continues to implement a plan to defend the future of the Catalan club, as it aims to sign special deals in the current summer Mercato.

After the recovery of the Blaugrana treasury, the Barca administration developed alternative plans to consolidate the left-back position, after the Marcos Alonso deal was close to collapse.

Alonso was coach Xavi Hernandez’s preferred choice this summer, in order to provide competition for veteran Jordi Alba.

However, the complexity of negotiations with Chelsea to include the Spanish full-back, made Xavi direct his attention to the Portuguese League to remedy the situation.

According to the Portuguese newspaper, “Abola”, Gonzalo Costa, a Sporting Lisbon player, has emerged as one of Barcelona’s most important goals to compensate for the Alonso deal.

The Catalan club wants to take advantage of the player’s explicit desire to leave Lisbon, after he joined the Portuguese club from the age of fourteen until his current age of 22 years.

The newspaper reported that Barcelona has been following the player for years, and believes that he has developed enough to move to the Spanish League.

The 22-year-old is currently in the second team of Lisbon, and has not yet been promoted to the first team, and this is one of the most important reasons for his request to leave.

Costa appeared in 23 matches in various tournaments with Lisbon last season, and scored 3 goals in the team’s shirt.

The player has international experience in the youth stages, having previously represented Portugal under 17 and 16 years.

Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong is close to leaving the Catalan club this summer, and Manchester United is emerging as one of the clubs interested in the player.

With the great financial difficulties that the Blaugrana faced, it will be difficult to contract with the names that were mentioned as possible alternatives to the departure of De Jong, and they are Bernardo Silva, Rubén Neves or others, players who are active in the English Premier League, and have high salaries, which Barcelona is working to avoid in that period. , in addition to the exaggeration of their clubs regarding the value required to give up one of them.

Sport newspaper reported that the team already has a replacement for De Jong without cost, as he is in the reserve team’s list, and it was already escalated last season, talking about Nico Gonzalez, who attracted everyone’s attention after his levels with the team at the beginning of the season.

It is clear that neither management nor coach Xavi Hernandez looks at Nico with the way he deserves, as he is not considered or treated like Jaffe, despite the management’s insistence not to sell him during the meeting that took place between them and the players’ agent Jorge Mendes.

The 32-year-old would like to play more regularly, something he was not able to do at Barcelona. The situation is unlikely to change for the better in the Emirates. They already have a tried and tested goalkeeper at Ramsdale and are unlikely to replace him any time soon.

A report from Sport (via Sport Witness) says Arsenal could sign Barcelona goalkeeper Neto if Bernd Leno ends up leaving the Emirates Stadium in the summer.

Leno, who moved to north London from Bayer Leverkusen in 2018, fell off the nominations list under Mikel Arteta, losing his place to Aaron Ramsdale. Despite not enjoying many minutes, the 30-year-old is said to continue to attract eyeballs.

Newly promoted Fulham is believed to want to have Arsenal’s second-choice goalkeeper on their payroll. If they get their wish, the Gunners will be without strong support for Ramsdale in the 2022-23 season.

To address this issue, it is reported that the Arteta team may be knocking on the doors of Barcelona who are looking for ways to lower their salary bill. The Blaugrana has prepared a list of players who can be sacrificed for the cause, with Neto’s name on it.

Barcelona are confident that the Brazilian goalkeeper will leave for greener pastures in the summer and join a club where he can play regularly. La Liga clubs Valencia and Villarreal are also interested in his services but they cannot meet his salary requirements. Arsenal are likely to ask Neto to cut his salary, but Londoners are likely to have more wiggle room if Leno is sold to Fulham.

Arsenal move may not be in the favour of outcast Barcelona
Neto, who moved to Camp Nou for €26 million in 2019, is considered a good goalkeeper. He’s an excellent game reader, good at organizing his defenders, and a reliable shot-stopper. Getting Neto would by no means be a stepping down for the Emirates team, but the switch may not benefit the former Valencia man.

If the veteran goalkeeper wants to play regularly at the end of his career, he should choose a smaller club. To get the smaller clubs interested in him, he must inevitably lower his salary demands.

Radio reports revealed that Barcelona is outperforming its counterpart Chelsea in the race to obtain the services of the center of Seville’s defense, Jules Conde.

Conde, 23, is preparing to search for a new club this summer, with the club’s general manager, Jose Maria Cruz de Andres, revealing last week that the defender is keen to play at a higher level.

With Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen leaving Chelsea, the Blues are preparing to sign at least one new defender this summer, and Conde is believed to be their primary target.

And Catalan radio revealed that Barcelona had overtaken Chelsea in the race to obtain Conde’s signature, because they are currently in advanced talks over the proposed move to the Camp Nou this summer.

The report adds that Barcelona have agreed a deal in principle with Sevilla, which would pay between €55m and €60m and include a player as part of the deal.

She said Barcelona are hoping to include United States right-back Sergino Dest, as part of the deal, while Francisco Trincao and former Sevilla player Clement Lenglet are potential alternatives.

The radio hinted that the French defender had expressed his desire to move to the ranks of the Blaugrana, because he believed in the Xavi project.

Conde, who has a two-year contract at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, has made 133 appearances for Sevilla in all competitions since joining the club from Bordeaux in 2019.

The 32-year-old would like to play more regularly, something he was not able to do at Barcelona. The situation is unlikely to change for the better in the Emirates. They already have a tried and tested goalkeeper at Ramsdale and are unlikely to replace him any time soon.

The Spanish club Barcelona dealt a blow to the efforts of Manchester City and Liverpool to sign the young Catalan midfielder Gavi.

Gavi was promoted to the Barcelona first team on August 29, and he played his first match against Getafe in the Spanish league, then signed his first goal against Elche in the league, last December.

Gavi joined the Spain squad for the first time under coach Luis Enrique last September, in the UEFA Nations League semi-final match against Italy, which was held on October 6, and was his first at the international level.

Reports from England over the past few days confirmed the admiration of Man City coach Pep Guardiola, and his counterpart at Anfield Road, Jurgen Klopp, with the capabilities of the 17-year-old Jaffe, and their desire to include him.

The delay in renewing Barcelona’s contract with Jaffe, and the presence of a penalty clause in his contract worth 50 million euros, motivated the English duo to seriously consider his inclusion.

In this context, the Spanish newspaper “Marca” indicated in a report that Gavi ’s contract with Barcelona, ​​signed in September 2020, includes a clause to raise the value of the penalty clause in his contract from 50 to 100 million euros, by the month of June, which will make it difficult to buy it by City and Liverpool. .

According to the newspaper, the penalty clause of 50 million euros in the contract of the young Spanish international rose automatically in the current month of June to 100 million euros, according to the player’s contract with Barcelona, ​​which he signed in September 2020, which provides for the increase in the penalty clause for weakness at the beginning of the third year of the contract. .

The major clubs in Europe do not spend 100 million on a non-scorer player, especially if he is a newcomer, despite the fact that he has made a remarkable appearance, whether in the Barcelona shirt or the Spanish national team.

And Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, ​​​​confirmed in statements last week that Jaffe is on the way to renew his contract with the team, but so far this matter has not been officially announced.

And “Marca” confirmed that the new amount in the player’s penalty clause makes the matter complicated for clubs wishing to include him, despite the huge expectations from Jaffe and the great level he presented with Barcelona and the Spain national team, but paying the amount of 100 million euros is a risk for a young player, and gives Barcelona an outlet for negotiations. regarding the renewal of his contract.

Ivan de la Pena, the former Barcelona star and Jaffe’s agent, is trying to renew his contract and demands a larger annual salary and a new contract, but Barcelona, ​​due to the economic crisis, cannot meet the player’s conditions, and offers fewer financial offers.

Despite the interest of Liverpool and Manchester City, Jaffe prefers to stay in Barcelona and considers it a priority, while coach Xavi Hernandez is pressing the administration to renew the contract of the midfielder, which he considers one of his plans for next season.

17-year-old Jaffe participated in the Barcelona first team in 47 matches, during which he scored two goals. He also became one of the main players in the squad for the Spanish national team and coach Luis Enrique, and played 10 international matches, during which he scored one goal.
