Barcelona know that Araujo has various offers from the Premier League but also wants to stay at Camp Nou. If they want to keep him, though, they will need to raise their offer. The idea was to go for Erling Haaland but he looks too expensive and he may choose Man City or Real Madrid instead. Barcelona are looking to add a world class striker to their project. Barcelona want to tie Ronald Araujo down to a new deal. I want to think the two will stay and will arrive at a deal with the club. FC Barcelona are set to host Sevilla in the first game back after the international break on Sunday at 9.00pm CEST.

Despite these mutual agreements, though, it’s only understandable that Dembele will not put pen to paper at any price. It is believed that the player as well as his agent, Moussa Sissoko, are ready to let the bygones be bygones by starting off fresh. The offer was then withdrawn since Sissoko did not respond.

The player, though, has been professional about the situation and intends to continue playing a key role in Xavi’s plans going into the future. Despite that, It appears Araujo remains keen on prolonging his stay in Catalonia despite interest from Manchester United, who have tabled a lucrative offer for the Uruguayan international. Barça have tried to negotiate with him in the past, but they are yet to make a breakthrough.

Lewandowski, to that end, could emerge as a dark horse in Barça’s quest to sign a new striker. But he doesn’t have the physicality of Lewandowski or Haaland, nor the athleticism. The Pole has won everything at Bayern Munich and given the tension brewing in the Bavarian camp, he could potentially seek an exit in the summer.

Once the remodeling of the Camp Nou is finished, scheduled for the end of 2025, the figure that Spotify will pay for the name of the stadium will be multiplied, Laporta said. “There will be concerts at the Camp Nou and with the women’s team we will surely find new forms of collaboration that will reinforce our commitment to equality,” Laporta added. The agreement with the Swedish streaming giant, which involves brand sponsorship of the men’s and women’s official first team kits, training apparel and the naming rights to the Camp Nou stadium, will come into force as of next season.

The key, however, could lie with Ousmane Dembele. The Frenchman has a brilliant record against Los Nervionenses and will look to deliver an impactful performance in front of the home fans. The 23-year-old has been one of Sevilla’s most impressive players this season and a key reason for the team’s unbelievable defensive record. He will be positioned to the right of Nemanja Gudelj who has been in good form heading into Sunday’s game. Their pace will be a big challenge for Xavi’s side as the visitors will look to capitalise on the counterattacks. The three players have eight goals and five assists amongst them in La Liga this season. Marcos Acuna will miss the clash against Barcelona with an injury, and Karim Rekik is best placed to take the Argentine’s place. Despite having a rough patch in the past few months, Sevilla have maintained one of Europe’s best defensive records. As such, he should start in the goal. Marc-Andre ter Stegen will start in goal on the night. Julen Lopetegui’s side not only head into the clash at Camp Nou in poor form but also with a depleted squad. A few months into Xavi’s tenure and the tables have turned. Back in October, only a mad man would tell you that Barcelona would easily qualify for the top four.

Modric is 36-years-old but still a vital cog in the Madrid midfield with his passing essential to the team’s flow of possession. However, the Frenchman is 34-years-old and will not be able to score the bulk of Madrid’s goals for the long term even though he is currently in the form of his life. By signing him, Madrid will prove that they are prepared to match Barcelona’s revolution.

“I see him very happy and very involved,” the boss asserted. I want to think that the two of them will stay and reach an agreement with the club. The club cannot allow either of them to leave.

This essentially means there are high chances that the versatile defender might see his Barcelona tenure coming to an end this year.

Gavi is always knocking on the door of the starting lineup with good reason, but a place on the bench this weekend seems more likely for the youngster. Sergio Busquets got the full two weeks off during the international break, a much needed rest for the captain who has been playing a whole lot of minutes for club and country all season. The only question is who starts alongside Gerard Piqué in the middle: if it’s Eric García, who has been playing well lately, then the spotlight shifts to right-back with both Dani Alves and Ronald Araujo available for that spot.

FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta states that the doors are open for Lionel Messi to return to the Spanish club after leaving last summer.

Messi had an opportunity to score but failed to convert a penalty kick in the first leg, and with PSG losing 3-2 on aggregate, the miss was under the spotlight. The executive stated that he would be more than happy to discuss Messi’s return. The first season at Paris Saint-Germain for Messi hasn’t gone as planned.

Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez has said he wants to take inspiration from the club's women's side when they host Sevilla on Sunday.

"The message to the squad is clear: the win over Madrid was only worth three points. I want to believe they will both reach an agreement and stay. We will also have an eye on events in Vigo, but I prefer to focus on what we must do. "I really enjoyed it," the Barca coach said in a news conference on Saturday. "It gave me goosebumps. "I have a good relationship with Alexia [Putellas] and Aitana [Bonmati]," Xavi added. I was moved the other day at Camp Nou. It was an important step, but it can't end there.

Though the Catalans have a game in hand, the remaining lead of nine points is a mammoth gap that is difficult to close. Moreover, they will have to balance the domestic games with the Europa League too. Needless to say, the form in the first game will have a big part to play in how the rest of the month pans out, and that begins with the starting lineup. With a comfortable lead of 12 points over Barcelona, Real Madrid are the clear favourites to walk away with the La Liga title. To compound their problems, Lopetegui will not have several key players in the clash through injury. Now, Barcelona return to La Liga and face off against second-placed Sevilla with the chance to leapfrog them.

Barcelona head coach Xavi is boosted by an improving injury picture ahead of their weekend clash with Sevilla.

Barcelona have already had joy in bringing in one striker on a free transfer from Arsenal and now want another. Transfer Talk has the latest.

United are in the market to sign a striker ahead of the summer transfer window, with Kane one of the options being monitored. He told L'Equipe: "Of course, I can't just be on the bench at Arsenal and be happy. Saliba, 20, has impressed at Marseille, having failed to make a single appearance for Arsenal since signing for €30m from Saint Etienne in 2019. But as is always the case with transfers, it's better to lock down a new deal sooner rather than later. For the club that owns the player, Arsenal, the player and Marseille," Longoria told Le10 Sport. "We have to see our possibilities. After narrowly missing out on qualification for the Champions League the past two seasons, Leicester have endured a disappointing campaign and currently find themselves down in ninth place.

Barça face the best defense in the league looking to finish the weekend in second place and continue their amazing run.

This is a good time to be facing Sevilla especially considering Barça’s form, but anyone thinking the Blaugrana will dominate and win easily just because they were great in El Clásico is fooling themselves. Barça’s remaining league schedule is tough but manageable, with Sevilla at home and Real Betis and Real Sociedad away the only true big hurdles on the road ahead. Finishing second should be the goal, and winning on Sunday will give them the inside track to accomplish that objective.

However, the announcement was not well received which ultimately saw the six Premier League teams pull out due to the backlash of the supporters and former ...

Clubs like Barca, Madrid or Juventus, we have a history and honours and they have to take us into account. The Superleague is a way of saving European football," Laporta told TV3. “We speak with Florentino of course.

Sevilla are next up for Xavi's improving Barcelona side in LaLiga today.

Win this and perhaps there’s even an outside chance of running Madrid close in a title challenge. Indeed, when Xavi returned to the Camp Nou in November, few could have imagined the idea of Barca finishing second. Seemingly cut adrift in midtable and reeling from the departure of Lionel Messi, the club looked in an utter mess.

Luis Enrique steered Barcelona to the club's second treble-winning season in 2014-15 with a 3-1 victory over Juventus in the Champions League final in ...

His signing was supposed to propel the French side to a European title of their own, but this trophy still eludes PSG. And his assist for Rakitic in the 2015 final was a moment of genius we saw him serve up time after time. There are many variables involved and it is difficult to know what will happen in the future,” Iniesta said in February 2022. Pretty much all has been said that can be about arguably the greatest player of all time. In contrast, Mathieu’s Barcelona career was a more forgettable experience. Victory in Berlin marked a third Champions League crown for the Spain international. The defender’s list of honours is extensive both at club and international level; he’s won almost every trophy there is to win. Pedro was forced to play second-fiddle to MSN under Enrique – his best time at the club came under Guardiola – and he left to join Chelsea in the summer of 2015. Surprisingly Barca’s record goalscorer didn’t find the target in his side’s win in Berlin, but that was only one of a few times that the Argentina international wasn’t the star of the show for the Blaugrana. He may even have the opportunity to add a new trophy to his collection should Xavi guide his team to a Europa League win in the 2021-22 season. The left-back has currently won 15 titles at Barca – the Champions League the most prestigious – and even at 33, Alba is still a mainstay in the new-look side former team-mate Xavi is building at the Camp Nou. Luis Enrique steered Barcelona to the club’s second treble-winning season in 2014-15 with a 3-1 victory over Juventus in the Champions League final in Berlin.

Having tied down a big-money deal with Spotify as the main shirt sponsors from next season, Barcelona are on the lookout for a new sleeve sponsor.

Turkish Airlines are a well-known brand in the sports world, having been associated with several elite sporting teams in football and basketball. The aviation company has had a previous association with Barcelona between 2010 and 2012 when Laporta was president. The Catalans had Beko as their sponsor for the sleeve previously, whose contract was poised to come to an end last year.

De Jong is said to be in good health but will be unavailable for the game against his parent club as Barcelona return to action after the international break.

However, the arrival of attacking reinforcements such as Aubameyang, Ferran Torres and Adama in the winter have meant his game time has been restricted in 2022. The Dutchman also appears to have won over supporters with his goals and professionalism during his short time at Barcelona so far. De Jong is said to be in good health but will be unavailable for the game against his parent club as Barcelona return to action after the international break.

As a result, Gavi’s future has become a subject of concern for the Blaugrana who wish to resolve his contract situation at the earliest. An all-action midfielder, who has shown that he can excel in advanced positions on the field as well, Gavi’s current contract expires in 2023. With talks seemingly dragging on, Barcelona’s risk of losing Gavi keeps incerasing with each passing day.
