BARCELONA CONFIRMS NEW BIG TRANSFERS! THIS IS WHO LAPORTA and XAVI have signed!
Mbappe not seeing future in Barcelona
Fabrizio Romano
Kylian Mbappe is not considering a move to Barcelona. The French striker is looking for only two options to pursue his career. He will either stay at PSG or move to Real Madrid. Barcelona is not an option for him to continue his path. PSG are still trying to negotiate a new contract with the 23-year-old striker. Mbappe's deal with Real Madrid has yet to be signed. There is no final decision yet, and in the upcoming weeks the Parisians will have one more attempt in convincing Kylian to stay. Real Madrid go on working on the transfer of the Frenchman.
PSG ready to release both Messi and Neymar
Abdellah Boulma
Paris Saint-Germain are ready to release Messi and Neymar next summer if worthy offers follow. The club thinks that the players did not live up to expectations. Many people called Barcelona the most likely place to comfort both, though the Catalan club completely changed their views - Laporta confirmed that now Messi's comeback is not a thing anymore, and Lionel himself does not want to return to the Blaugranas while Laporta is in charge. As for Neymar, Enric Masip, Laporta's adviser, said: "Neymar has always showed that he picks the team that gives him the most money. That's why we'd rather sign players that would give their life up for Barça. Even if they have less talent,." .
Barcelona in talks with Lewandowski
Matteo Moretto
In recent weeks, there have been direct talks between Laporta and Lewandowski's agent, Pini Zahavi. An excellent relationship developed between them. There is no agreement with the footballer, and there is no official bid from Bayern that will try to extend the contract with the Pole, but Barca are still there. Lewandowski wants to try himself at La Liga, and given the lack of interest from Real Madrid, he could possibly accept Barca's offer.
Laporta's interview: in brief
RAC1
Barcelona President Joan Laporta told RAC1 a lot of captivating things. 'We have already arranged a couple of transfers. The contracts of these players were expiring, so we could negotiate with them. One is a midfielder, the other one is a centre-back. But I'm not allowed to mention their names. Top players want to join Barça, that's clear. I can't say if we're in talks for Lewandowski and Salah or not - or into the club they'll tell me that I'm creating problems in the negotiations. Haaland and Mbappe in Barcelona? The economic conditions that I've been told these two deals would cost...we'd never accept to spend those figures. No way. I see both of them really far from Barça,' Laporta concluded.
