Atletico Rafaela Overview

Marcus Rashford is at the centre of a sensational transfer tug-of-war as Turkish giants Fenerbahce prepare to launch a massive transfer bid for the Manchester United forward. The England international has only recently returned to Old Trafford following a productive season-long loan spell in La Liga with Barcelona.

Hansi Flick’s pre-season preparations have hit a significant roadblock after Barcelona were forced to cancel a scheduled friendly against Preston North End. The Spanish giants were due to face the Lilywhites in a behind-closed-doors clash on Monday morning, but the fixture has been abandoned following a series of availability issues within the English club’s camp.

Julian Alvarez finds himself at a career crossroads as Atletico Madrid have reportedly blocked his path to Barcelona. The Argentine forward, who has expressed a clear desire to join the Catalan giants, has been told in no uncertain terms that a move to a direct La Liga rival is off the table.

Barcelona are officially prepared to negotiate the departure of Ferran Torres this summer if the forward explicitly expresses a desire to leave the club. Paris Saint-Germain are heavily interested in securing his signature, but the Spanish side have made it perfectly clear that the World Cup winner will not leave on the cheap before his current contract expires in June.
