With everyone from Ferran Torres to Ousmane Dembele and Memphis Depay to Ansu Fati buzzing around the wide forward positions, Raphinha most certainly won't be ...

It really is hard not to watch those highlights and feel as though the very essence of the way Raphinha plays fits hand in glove with what Xavi wants to bring back to Camp Nou. But it was the debut performance of Raphinha that truly caught the eye with the dazzling winger taking just 19 minutes to register his first assist for the club and then just six extra minutes to notch his inaugural goal. And there’s every reason to believe that those sorts of numbers will do nothing but soar under the tutelage of Xavi and while surrounded by players who, with all due respect to Leeds, have a lot more in their locker.

It is true that heading into the transfer window, there were a lot of concerns regarding Barcelona’s financial situation and their ability to pull off big deals. The sponsorship agreement with Spotify has also helped generate revenue. But the cherry on top came in the form of Lewandowski’s capture from Bayern after months of speculations and negotiations.

New Barcelona signing Raphinha ripped Inter Miami apart on his debut and the highlights are something else.

I'm very happy and hope to continue it." "I'm very happy to have scored my first goal. The former Rennes man told reporters post-match: "One always tries to score against anyone, but if it's in a derby, even more.

BARCELONA star Frenkie de Jong is Manchester United's priority transfer target for the summer window.

"It's a shame that it's taking so long. The Catalan giants won 6-0, with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Raphinha, Ansu Fati, Gavi, Memphis Depay and Ousmane Dembele all on target. De Jong is settled living in Barcelona and always dreamed of playing for the La Liga side, ever since he was young. We’re not alone in thinking this, with Spanish outlet AS saying it’s ‘difficult not to interpret the technical decision to place De Jong in the central position as the one made with someone who is not counted on for the season’. But, by deploying Frenkie de Jong at centre-back amid links to Manchester United, they’ve hinted they’ll struggle to accommodate the Netherlands international this season. And De Jong was deployed as a central defender, alongside Ronald Araujo and Oscar Hernandez in the absence of Gerard Pique.

While Gomez is not a top target, given his performances at Anderlecht last season, the 21-year-old former La Masia trainee could be an option worth looking at. Gomez joined Barça’s La Masia setup in 2010 as a nine-year-old and spent close to eight years at the club. “I do not regret leaving Barça. Things did not go well at Borussia but I am grateful to them because they made me a professional player.

And for a club which has gone through years of financial mismanagement, resulting in huge debt and a bloated wage bill, the vast sums of money spent have left Nagelsmann confused.

La Liga giants Barcelona have finally confirmed the signing of Lewandowski from Bayern Munich in a €50million (£42.5m) deal.

Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann has hit out at Barcelona for their 'crazy' transfer policy after Robert Lewandowski left to sign for the LaLiga side.

Barcelona are bound by LaLiga regulations which state that the club is only allowed to spend £1m for every £4m they offload. It's a bit strange, a bit crazy," the Bayern boss said.

New United boss Erik ten Hag coached De Jong at Ajax and held a phone call to convince the player that he should join his project at Old Trafford. Tellingly, that meant that six players were preferred to De Jong in his strongest position as part of a midfield three.

football.london understands that whilst no deal is currently agreed and done, the two clubs are in advanced talks for a £50million deal. That feeling may not last too much longer with multiple hints being dropped already hinting at a 'done deal' being in the pipeline for the France international. Jules Kounde's future hangs in the balance with mixed reports surrounding a move to Chelsea with Barcelona also interested - is this to be Raphinha part two, or will the Blues finally get one over on Xavi?

"We don't have any more of the letter 'W' and Lewandowski has two. It's sold out," a Barcelona club store staff member told a customer.

Lewandowski flew to Miami, where Barcelona have been based for the start of their preseason U.S. tour, to meet his new teammates and pass a medical as the final details of his contract were agreed. The letter W is extremely rare in Spanish and in Catalan, with the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) saying the letter's use is restricted to "words of Germanic origin such as Wagnerian... or Anglicisms, as in Washingtonian or whiskey." Barcelona's signing of Robert Lewandowski has caused such excitement that a club store had to stop selling jerseys bearing his name -- because it has run out of the letter "W."

As for Barça, they are set to prioritise a move for Marcos Alonso in the coming weeks.

Whether Arsenal enter the market for a centre-back following a sale remains to be seen but the Gunners have already been busy so far this summer. One further deal that has the Blues and Barcelona involved in could potentially cost Arsenal dear this summer. The two sides have been competing for signings throughout the off-season - a number of players having been linked with moves to both the Camp Nou and Stamford Bridge. Former Leeds star Raphinha and Polish striker Robert Lewandowski are immediately those that spring to mind.

A huge twist to the Frenkie De Jong saga has now emerged according to a report from Spain as it is being reported that Barcelona may no longer have to sell ...

However in what could emerge as a huge twist to the tale, Barcelona now may no longer have to sell De Jong. De Jong could now be set to remain at Barcelona this summer in a huge twist that could possibly emerge in the near future. A huge twist to the Frenkie De Jong saga has now emerged according to a report from Spain as it is being reported that Barcelona may no longer have to sell the midfielder to Manchester United this summer, says a journalist.

Manchester United and Barcelona have an agreement for the sale of Frenkie de Jong. So what's the hold up?

And that sort of money can only come in by selling the likes of De Jong, Memphis Depay, Ousmane Dembele, Ronald Araujo. Officially, Barcelona have said De Jong is still in their plans and his fate will be decided by manager Xavi. "We are not obliged to sell De Jong and I understand he is going on tour," said Laporta when Raphinha was presented. In the entire drawn-out saga, what has remained constant is De Jong loves Barcelona. He held a dream as a child to play for Barcelona - a city he travelled to with his family in his younger years. The 25-year-old Dutchman has travelled to the USA for the pre-season tour and was all smiles during their win over Inter Miami. There are not many in that position capable of the level we demand. The clubs have reached a deal but it is about convincing De Jong now. In an interview with ESPN, Ten Hag said, "We are looking for a player who can play in the holding midfield position, but it has to be the right one. To push through the deal, the Erik ten Hag-managed club has offered to pay €10 million upfront instead of going through clauses. And this remains the bone of contention even as Barcelona, Manchester United have reached an agreement over his move. €390 million of the debt was linked to player salaries. The club reached its nadir when they had to let go of Lionel Messi. Somehow everyone expected the Catalans to get themselves out of growing debt which stood at €1.35 billion for the 2020-21 season. As part of the deal between player and club, De Jong decided to defer his salary payments to the tune of €17 million for the period of 2022 until 2026.

A potential twist is in the works as Manchester United continue to chase Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

To make matters worse, Andy Mitten (via GQ) claims there is no Plan B if United don’t get De Jong. The Red Devils already have a full agreement in place with Barca but are waiting for the green light from De Jong to complete the deal. They have a patient buyer in United.

Inter Miami head coach Phil Neville has defended his decision to give game time to his son and Romeo Beckham in Tuesday's friendly against Barcelona.

Ousmane Dembele picked the ball up on the right wing, just inside the Miami half, before dribbling forward and placing a low shot past the keeper from 18 yards. "I thought it was a brilliant learning experience for us all. DeAndre has played at the top, top level, we’ve got players that want to go to World Cups, play in the Champions League etcetera and they’ve experienced tonight what the best do. I think from a playing point of view, the game was always going to be something for us to really enjoy. We were playing against world-class players, two world-class teams in each half really.
