The future of Barcelona prodigy Ansu Fati remains uncertain according to reports from Spain. It is claimed that the club’s board are split regarding whether to cash-in on the talented teenager this summer. 

Fati was the subject of a transfer bid by Manchester United with the Catalan giants turning down two offers of €100 million and €150 million. 

ABC reports that the decision to refuse the offer has caused a split in among the board who are facing an active debate in whether it was the right decision. 

The Camp Nou outfit are facing a potential shortfall of €70 million due to the Covid-19 impact and failure to raise funds from transfers this season. 

Barcelona have struggled to sell the likes of Ivan Rakitic, Phillips Coutinho and Rafinha in recent months which have affected their finances. 

It is understood that some of the board members believe that the sale of Fati would help cover their debts. The talented forward’s contract currently carries a buyout clause of €170m.

Chelsea have been linked with a move for Manchester United midfielder Angel Gomes. 

The talented midfielder is expected to leave the club following confirmation from manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Monday. 

This has drawn speculations and The London Evening Standard reports that Chelsea are keen on the youngster. 

The report further claimed that United were prepared to offer a deal worth over £30,000 a week for the player but talks stalled between both parties. 

Gomes was highly rated within the United academy but has failed to break into the first team consistently. 

The development of Mason Greenwood has taken the shine of the player once tipped to be a United stalwart. 

Chelsea are known for swooping for highly talented youth products and Gomes fits the bill. Furthermore manager Frank Lampard has shown his ability to develop youth players with the Blues boasting of one of the youngest squads in the League. 

The coming days would provide clarity in Angel Gomes future with other clubs across Europe interested in his services.

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers believes that left-back Ben Chilwell can handle reports of a potential transfer move swirling around him. The England international has been tipped to make a summer switch to Chelsea in recent weeks and there had been speculations that this could affect his performances. 

However, Rodgers is of the opinion that the transfer rumours should not distract the 22-year-old of his primary objectives which is to win games for the Leicester outfit. The former Celtic boss was responding to questions from journalists recently and was equivocal with his answers. 

“I have no worries at all. Speculation is something you have to live within this industry.“He has good experiences now and can deal with that. It is a part of the game and we know that.”

Rodgers also expressed his delight on how the defender has played since the return to action praising his mental strength and playing ability. “Ben has come back and he has been brilliant. He has come back and looks fresh.“In the lockdown he has really pressed the reset button again.“He has been fit and his running ability has been great.

Chilwell is a quality defender and his goal against Watford showed some of the attacking aspects of his game. It is, therefore, no surprise that Chelsea are interested in his services.

Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick has responded to speculations regarding the future of midfielder Thiago Alcantara. The Spain international has been speculated to be on his way from the club after rejecting a new contract from the club amid reports of an approach from Liverpool. 

The creative midfielder is regarded as one of the best in the game and has enjoyed a successful stint at the Bavarian club. It is understood that his representatives have begun talks with Liverpool regarding a transfer in the summer. 

When quizzed by reporters regarding a potential summer move for the midfielder, Flick was non-committal in his response.   “There is no news on his contract.”We always speak, almost every day, but there is no news. I see him every day in training and games.

He was also critical of the press claiming that they are entitled to their opinions. “There are always so-called experts who have their own opinions

Thiago is quality and would undoubtedly strengthen the midfield of any team. A move to Liverpool would be a coup for the English champions who would be able to have a genuine playmaker in their ranks.
