Barcelona winger Raphinha has delivered a heartfelt message to supporters following the injury setback that has threatened his World Cup campaign with Brazil. The forward was forced off during the Selecao’s victory over Haiti, sparking fears that his tournament could be over prematurely.

Manchester City and Argentina legend Sergio Aguero has thrown his weight behind Julian Alvarez’s potential move to Barcelona, insisting his compatriot is the perfect profile for the Catalan club. The former striker believes the versatile forward would thrive at Camp Nou following reports of a bombshell transfer request.

Barcelona are ready to test Atletico Madrid's resolve with a massive €130 million (£112m/$148m) offer for Julian Alvarez. The Argentine forward has sent shockwaves through the Spanish capital after making it clear he wants a fresh start away from the Metropolitano.

Atletico Madrid have reportedly blocked any potential transfer of Julian Alvarez to La Liga rivals Barcelona as a matter of honour. Instead, the Spanish heavyweights have shifted their attention towards the Premier League, where they are actively exploring a sensational swap deal with Arsenal that would bring Viktor Gyokeres to Madrid.
