Versailles Overview

Fermin Lopez has revealed he endured "the worst summer" of his life after an injury ruled him out of Spain's World Cup-winning campaign. The Barcelona midfielder admitted he required professional help to cope with the heartbreak while being at his physical peak.

Leon Goretzka has reportedly offered his services to Barcelona as a free agent following his departure from Bayern Munich. The Spanish giants are currently grappling with an injury crisis in midfield, but sporting director Deco is seemingly reluctant to sanction a reunion between the veteran and Hansi Flick.

New Barcelona signing Karim Adeyemi insists he is not afraid of competing with Lamine Yamal for a starting spot in Hansi Flick's attack. The former Borussia Dortmund forward also revealed how a quick phone call from Flick was all it took to seal his dream move to Spain.

Karim Adeyemi is already making waves at the Ciutat Esportiva, with his new Barcelona team-mates left stunned by the German's explosive physical attributes. Alejandro Balde has been the first to lift the lid on the forward's integration, revealing that the pair have quickly hit it off during the club's pre-season preparations.
