Barcelona have opened disciplinary proceedings against Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who has reportedly declined to authorize the club to share the details of his recent lower back surgery and recovery timeline with La Liga's medical commission. This has effectively stalled Barcelona's efforts to classify his injury as long-term, which would have allowed them to temporarily offload 80 per cent of his salary from their wage bill and register a new player.
Former Barcelona president Joan Gaspart has boldly claimed that Marcus Rashford is a better player than Nico Williams, in response to criticism of the club from the Athletic Club winger's brother Inaki. Williams snubbed a move to Barca in favour of signing a new long-term deal with Athletic Club, which paved the way for Rashford to join the Catalan side on loan from Manchester United.
Raphinha has welcomed Marcus Rashford to Barcelona with a firm message, warning the Manchester United loanee about the fierce competition for places at the club. The Brazilian insists that increased rivalry in the squad will only push players to improve as Barca look to compete for major trophies again this season after their great debut season under Hansi Flick.
Manchester United are reportedly willing to make a substantial offer for rising Barcelona star Fermin Lopez, with Sport claiming the Premier League club have tabled a £61 million ($70m) bid in the hope of luring the midfielder away from Camp Nou. Within the Barcelona camp, while some still believe in his long-term value to the squad, others are warming to the idea of parting ways, if a hefty proposal arrives.
Marcus Rashford is enjoying his time at Barcelona as he was spotted scoring a goal during a training session courtesy of a Lamine Yamal assist. The new Blaugrana No.10 set up a perfect ball for the United loanee with an outstanding Trivela as Rashford comfortably found the back of the net. The winger has appeared in both of Barcelona's pre-season friendlies since joining the club on loan this summer.
Jesse Lingard managed to collect jerseys of both Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford after FC Seoul's pre-season friendly against Barcelona on Thursday. Yamal scored a brace, while Rashford contributed with an assist as the Blaugrana thrashed the South Korean side 7-3 in the penultimate match of their pre-season Asia tour.
