Another Barcelona player on the move

According to Sport Bild, Borussia Dortmund look to be on course to sign Paco Alcacer from Barcelona. The German club are looking to bolster their goalscoring options following their failed attempt to sign Divock Origi from Liverpool. A deal for Alacer is predicted to go through by Sunday.

Another midfielder in the shopping list?

Barcelona have reportedly given up on signing Paul Pogba for the time being and have turned their attention to Kevin Kampl. The RB Leipzig midfielder is capable of playing a holding role as well as venturing further up the pitch.

However, the Catalonian club remains hopeful of pulling a deal through for Adrien Rabiot from PSG.

Joining Neymar soon? 

Ernesto Valverde, the Barcelona manager has come out and stated that Ivan Rakitic would be too valuable an asset for the Catalonian side to lose amidst rumours that Paris Saint Germain are preparing a €90m bid to bring the Croatian to the Parc de Princes.

However, Barcelona look to be prepared for the 30-year-old’s departure having signed Arturo Vidal from Bayern Munich earlier in the summer.

 

The man on a mission

Maurizio Sarri claims that Tammy Abraham and Reuben Loftus-Cheek will remain at Stamford Bridge despite interest from clubs all over Europe. However, he has also stated that he cannot make any promises over the playing time of the young duo.
