Revealed! The latest EPL transfer rumours and done deals this offseason

Football

The Dutch forward has impressed during pre-season for Barca, but it’s no secret that the Spanish giants are looking to sell him to fund their other transfers. Depay joined the club last year but isn’t in the club’s future plans. Barcelona are now looking to cash in on the player before the season starts, Football Espana reported.

Frenkie de Jong

De Jong’s battles with Barcelona have been made public ever since the club tried to sell the player to Manchester United. De Jong doesn’t want to leave, but Barcelona have given him two options; either accept a transfer to Manchester United or stay and take a salary cut.

Martin Braithwaite

The Danish forward was a surprising signing for Barcelona, and despite not doing a bad job, the club wants him gone. Braithwaite wants to stay in Spain until his contract expires in 2024, but the club aren’t having that. As reported by Barca Universal, the Blaugrana are willing to terminate Braithwaite’s contract and let him leave as a free agent.

Neto

Having joined Barcelona in 2019, Neto has only made 21 appearances for Barcelona. The Brazilian goalkeeper did keep seven clean sheets in that time but has little hope of displacing Marc-André ter Stegen. Barcelona have been offering the keeper to numerous clubs but are yet to get an offer for his services.

Samuel Umtiti

Umtiti has been with the Blaugrana since 2016 and still has two years left on his contract. He has become an outcast at Barcelona though and was left out of the squad that recently concluded a pre-season tour of America. Umtiti has since been linked with a loan move to Olympiacos in Greece.

Incoming:

César Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso

Barcelona have been heavily linked with the Chelsea duo in recent weeks. The Spanish duo are also keen to move to Camp Nou but could find their path blocked by Chelsea’s hierarchy. Chelsea are still upset that Barcelona beat them to the punch on a few signings this season and are less than willing to negotiate with the Spaniards.

Bernardo Silva

Rumours surfaced earlier this month that Manchester City offered Silva to Barcelona. While the English club denied this, the Blaugrana are interested in bringing the midfielder to Camp Nou. Silva is seen as a direct replacement for de Jong, a player Barca are eager to part ways with.

Angeliño

Barcelona have been looking to bring in another left-back this transfer window and have now been linked with Angeliño. The defender currently plays for Bundesliga side RB Leipzig but has emerged as the club’s latest target.

Lionel Messi

The former golden boy of Barcelona, Messi, left as a free agent when the club could not afford to renew his contract. Now at Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona’s coach and the president have publicly admitted that they will do anything to bring Messi back to the club.

Barcelona and Real Madrid had gone head-to-head for the services of some world-class players in the past, and the Catalan giants have had some success over their arch-rivals.

The likes of Cesc Fabregas, Neymar, and Luis Suarez had been courted by Real Madrid at some point in their careers, but they decided to pick a move to the Camp Nou instead.

According to Planet Football, Real Madrid also attempted recruiting Barcelona legends Lionel Messi and Samuel Etoo, although the Cameroonian forward started his career in Spain in the Real Madrid academy.
