Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr has heaped massive praise on Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal ahead of the upcoming World Cup. The Brazil international believes the young Spanish winger possesses such extraordinary talent that he is capable of winning the prestigious international tournament entirely on his own, despite the fierce rivalry between their respective clubs.

Barcelona have stepped up their pursuit of Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon by launching a formal opening bid for the winger, according to reports. Hansi Flick is keen to bolster his attacking options at Camp Nou and has identified the England international as a priority target for the summer window.

Barcelona sporting director Deco has hailed Marcus Rashford for his impact during an impressive loan spell at Camp Nou, suggesting the club are delighted with the England international's contribution. The forward has found his feet in Spain away from the pressures of Manchester United, and could now be in line for a permanent switch to Barca.

Newcastle star Anthony Gordon has emerged as one of the most sought-after names in the summer market, but the winger reportedly has his heart set on a move to La Liga. While German giants Bayern Munich have made the England international a top priority, Gordon is said to be leaning towards a switch to Barcelona.
