Union Sportive Bejaad Overview

Xavi has recalled the moment he first realised Lamine Yamal was a once-in-a-generation talent, revealing how the Barcelona teenager immediately reminded him of Lionel Messi. The former Blaugrana boss also explained why he believes the Spain international has the mentality and ability to dominate world football for years to come.

Hansi Flick is regularly left astounded by the maturity of Pau Cubarsi's displays for Barcelona. "It's incredible to watch how well he defends," the German coach admitted last season. "He's young, he's only 19, but then you realise how long he’s already been playing at this level. We're very fortunate to have him. In terms of his performances, he's right up there with Lamine Yamal."

Barcelona have requested a €210 million credit line as they prepare to strengthen their squad under Hansi Flick ahead of the new season. The funding is expected to support moves for Julian Alvarez, Joao Cancelo and Karim Adeyemi, while also helping the club manage its day-to-day financial commitments.

Barcelona have formalised their interest in Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi by submitting an official bid for the Germany international. The 24-year-old has reportedly informed the Bundesliga side of his desire to leave after failing to reach an agreement on a contract extension at Signal Iduna Park.
