The former Manchester City man is set to join up with Luis Enrique's back-to-back European champions, and will once again face intense competition for a starting berth

Manchester United’s attempt to hijack Barcelona’s move for Spanish starlet Jorge Salinas has hit a stumbling block after Racing Santander manager Jose Alberto insisted the defender has no desire to leave this summer. The Red Devils have identified the 19-year-old as a key target to bolster their backline, but face a battle to convince the player to swap Cantabria for Manchester.

Barcelona have been plunged into an unexpected captaincy crisis following a whirlwind of transfer activity and injury setbacks. The departure of two primary leaders has left Hansi Flick with a major vacuum to fill within the first-team hierarchy at the Camp Nou. With the new season fast approaching, the Blaugrana must now identify the figures capable of leading the club.

Barcelona have stunned Paris Saint-Germain by slapping a hefty price tag on Ferran Torres after the forward requested a move to the Parc des Princes, according to reports. The Spanish international, fresh from a triumphant World Cup campaign, has reportedly set his sights on a reunion with his former national team coach Luis Enrique in the French capital.
