‘Here we go’ – Aston Villa set to sign Clement Lenglet on loan from Barcelona

Transfer expert <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1696849955493650896?s=20" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano </a>has reported that Aston Villa are inching closer towards a move for Clement Lenglet with Barcelona keen on selling him. The French defender is not a part of Xavi Hernandez’s plans for the future and has been allowed to leave this summer. But while he has attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, Lenglet’s desire to stay in Europe has hindered a transfer.Romano has reported that the Villians have been in talks for a while and are looking to sign the 28-year-old on a season-long loan deal. Not only that, talks have progressed far enough that the two clubs are in discussions over Lenglet’s salary coverage, as the Frenchman earns close to £16m per year.

The Frenchman has been working with the club to leave this summer but he failed to attract any interest.

While he wanted to remain in Europe, reports have indicated that the 28-year-old wants to find the right club and leave. However, despite his €16m yearly wages posing a challenge, Mundo Deportivo reports his agents are confident in securing a suitable deal.

The German international signed as a free-agent but they’ve yet to finalize his registration, facing complications in registering players overall. Ahead of their season opener on August 13th, only 13 players have been successfully registered by the club.Forbes highlights a further complication, revealing that Gundogan's contract includes a stipulation that allows him to leave if unregistered and forces Barcelona to compensate him for an entire year's salary. This potential commitment could amount to approximately £8.6 million, mirroring the 32-year-old’s anticipated earnings across his two-year contract.

Franck Kessi to Al Ahli in final stages – Romano

According to <a href="https://twitter.com/ffpolo" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo’s Fernando Polo</a>, Ousmane Dembele’s move to Paris Saint-Germain remains at a standstill because of a dispute between Barcelona and Dembélé’s agents. The reporter has revealed that while PSG are set to pay €50m to the La Liga side, discussions continue between Barca and Dembele’s agents over the distribution of the transfer amount. This has stalled the transfer and led to a standstill as Polo has reported that both sides are not willing to budge on their claims to the €50m fee which has led to an impasse. Thus, as a result, the 26-year-old is still on Barcelona’s books which has reportedly frustrated both PSG and the Frenchman.

 'Here we go': Fabrizio Romano confirms Vitor Roque to Barca move

According to a report from&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/totcosta/status/1675908510050140160">Radio CAT</a>, Barcelona are waiting for the final ‘yes’ from Fenerbahce and Turkey wonderkid Arda Guler in order to bring him to the club.The 18-year-old attacking midfielder has been in the radar for multiple clubs and has been one of the main targets of incoming sporting director Deco.

According to <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/factor-fisico-clave-interes-barca-89357218" target="_blank">Diario Sport</a>, Barcelona want Girona defensive midfielder Oriol Romeu to replace Sergio Busquets. Busquets has been an ever-present figure in the Blaugrana's midfield, but is now heading to MLS side Inter Miami, leaving a void to fill in the midfield. Now, it seems that Barcelona have now turned to another La Masia graduate in former Southampton and Chelsea enforcer Romeu.

Torres wants to continue at Barca despite Premier League links 

Following rumours of rising Saudi interest in Franck Kessie, <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-teme-caso-memphis-kessie-89253892" target="_blank">SPORT </a>are reporting that Barcelona are concerned that the midfielder could push for a free transfer exit this summer. Kessie has been strongly linked with a move to Al Ahli in recent hours, with the Saudi Arabian club keen on securing his services. The 26-year-old has been offered a double-your-salary deal by the Middle East outfit, and has his head turned by the lucrative offer. Barcelona have been actively trying to sell Kessie this summer, and have been demanding a fee of at least €30m for the player. Given that the Ivorian joined last summer for free, any fee that the Blaugrana receive for him would be deemed as net profit for the club. However, according to the report, Barcelona fear that Kessie might push to leave the club on a free transfer this summer.

Barcelona are frantically trying to offload certain players this summer to reduce their payroll and bring in some much-needed cash. But so far, their attempts have been ineffective.One of the players for whom offers will be listened this summer is misfiring striker Ferran Torres, who has been underwhelming since arriving from Manchester City in a deal worth €55 million plus add-ons in early 2022.It has been reported that selling the 23-year-old Spaniard is a priority for La Liga winners this summer and that they will seek a fee of €40m for him.Now, reliable journalist Gerard Romero reports that Torres already has received offers from the Premier League on the table. However, the player is reluctant to leave the club, which has blocked the potential exit.

Jordi Alba in talks with Inter Miami over summer move

Spanish publication <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/cumbre-inminente-barca-mendes-barcelona-88579826" target="_blank">Sport</a> has revealed that Barcelona has called an urgent meeting as the club are looking to sell some big names before the 30th of June. The Blaugrana have been suffering from financial turmoil and Barca's hierarchy believes that some harsh decisions before the start of July could help them get out of this hole. The first player who could be shown the exit door is Ansu Fati as he's considered a surplus to Xavi's future plans. With Fati's agent, Jorge Mendes, being given the duty to make multiple sales, Fati could be shipped off by the Blaugrana very soon. Frenkie De Jong is also on the hit list and despite Barca's reluctance to sell him, the club believes that the Dutch midfielder could fetch them massive bucks in the transfer window. The wide pairing of Raphinha and Ferran Torres are other names who are tipped to be sold alongside Nico Gonzalez in the ongoing summer window.
