Messi to play for Barca in midfield

Barcelona keep working on bringing back Lionel Messi and hope the Argentine will stick to his decision to leave PSG in the summer once his contract expires.
Barca manager Xavi has already decided on Messi's place in his team if the legendary return to Camp Nou does really happen.
The plan of the Blaugranas coach is this: Leo will play in midfield alongside Pedri, not upfront as it was then. He sees Messi as a creative link that generates opportunities for the attackers, along with opening up free spaces for teammates in the final third of the pitch.
In the meantime, the search for a new striker is still underway. Barcelona are keen on signing Brazilian prodigy Vitor Roque from Atletico Paranaense, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looks the safer option from the financial point of view; the Gabonese striker will soon break his contract with Chelsea to sign for the Catalans as a free agent.
Real Madrid contacted Leipzig over Dani Olmo

Real Madrid intend to sign RB Leipzig's attacking midfielder Dani Olmo. Relevo is the source writing about the interest of the Madrid side in the Spanish international.
Los Blancos have already approached the Bulls to discuss Olmo's possible move to Bernabeu, whose contract with the German team runs out in 2024. Real Madrid hope Leipzig would agree to sell the Barcelona academy graduate at a lower price, but if that doesn't happen, they'll simply invite Dani as a free agent next summer.
Bayern choose between Kolo Muani and Gonzalo Ramos

Bayern have decided on their limits on signing a new striker. The Munich side is willing to spend up to 100 million euros, not excluding the sale of some players in order to raise funds for a new goalscorer.
A lot depends on the vision of Die Rotten's new coach Thomas Tuchel, and what players he clearly sees in his schemes. Harry Kane is no longer a priority for the German club. But Randal Kolo Muani, who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt, will be considered more seriously from this time onwards.
Last month, Bayern's representatives held a phone conversation with Victor Osimhen's entourage informing the player's agents that they highly value the Nigerian's qualities although they can't afford his transfer at the moment.
However, Gonzalo Ramos is going to be a backup plan for Munich as they have established contacts with the player's agency GestiFute, founded by Jorge Mendes, which makes this potential transfer sound more realistic.
