Barcelona

Join AS USA for live Gamper Trophy action as Barcelona take on Pumas at Camp Nou on 7 August.

It's a good effort but the German gets down well to push it out for a corner. Barcelona face Pumas in the traditional Trofeo Joan Gamper today but Umtiti will not be involved. Alves sends in the corner from the left. I’m confident and I’m going to show all I can do on the pitch. Pumas have nothing to lose and go back up the other end and win a second corner in as many minutes. As we approach half-time, it remains 4-0 to the home side. De Jong's corner is eventually cleared and Barca start again from the halfway line. Aubameyang fires it across goal and it goes out for a goalkick. Aubameyang crosses from the right. Piqué gets up highest but his header goes wide of the Pumas goal. Will he be a Barcelona player this season? A good problem for Xavi to have.

BARCELONA star Frenkie de Jong is a top Manchester United and Chelsea transfer target.

“There’s a lot on that De Jong deal,” said Neville. “Just generally. And with the Catalan titans pushing to land Bernardo Silva from Manchester City, that new development gives both teams hope of striking a deal. Manchester United and Chelsea are both keen to land the Netherlands international. “If he’s said ‘no I’m not coming I want to stay at Barcelona’ or ‘I want to go to London to play in the Champions League’, surely at that point United would have said ‘we’re out of the race for Frenkie de Jong. Barcelona are, however, open to keeping hold of De Jong if the player agrees to take a pay cut. Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong still has no plans to take a pay cut at the club, according to reports.

Dani Alves was honoured by Barcelona ahead of the Joan Gamper Trophy match against Pumas UNAM.

And that has been left out at the club." Everything that happens on the field is a reflection of what happens outside. I am eternally grateful to Xavi and the president for bringing me back. "As a cule, I would like Barcelona to do things differently. Barcelona don’t care about the people who made history for the club. "Since I arrived, I made it very clear that I wasn’t any more a 20-year-old guy and that I wanted things to be done head-on, without hiding things.

Barcelona star Pedri has been impressed by the immediate impact of Robert Lewandowski on his arrival in Catalonia.

The veteran striker netted the opening goal in the 6-0 victory over the Mexican side at the Camp Nou and laid on a pair of assists for Pedri’s two goals and the Spanish teenager was full of praise at full time. Lewandowski joined up with the Barcelona squad on their preseason tour of the United States before finally getting his first goal in the Joan Gamper Trophy win this weekend. Despite the Bavarians initial insistence on keeping Lewandowski at the Allianz Arena, Lewandowski’s determination to join Barcelona proved crucial, with a deal eventually wrapped up.

PETE JENSON IN SPAIN: Barcelona were so desperate to satisfy LaLiga's financial rules that they bought their own TV rights future revenue from themselves, ...

There are various ways in which the club plan to find the missing money. The club declared the total of €667m (£562m) in their paperwork sent to LaLiga last week. They could also sell more of the club's assets. The club sold 25 per cent of future TV rights but there was a difference of opinion when it came to declaring how much money they had raised from it. And president Joan Laporta said: 'There will be no problem in registering all the players we have signed. as giants look for ways to register their summer signings

Barcelona have told the Manchester United and Chelsea target that they want him to revert a previous contract.

Bazunu started for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side in their 4-1 defeat against Spurs on Saturday, with McCarthy left on the bench. He has joined City as a youth scout for the northern area. The other reason for players applying water to their boots — and some do it regularly — is to feel mentally engaged. That could be perceived to reinforce comments by Evgeniy Levchenko — chairman of the Dutch players’ union — that De Jong might be a victim of extortion, a notion current Barcelona president Joan Laporta denies. A sports psychologist says: “Lots of players do it. They like the close-touch feel between foot and boot, believing it enhances performance. Barber represented Brighton throughout the process, with owner-chairman Tony Bloom on a family holiday in Australia. Cucurella wasn’t the only transfer deal rooted in Boehly’s dinner invite last month. Though there’s no logical “performance” advantage to wetting a boot, it does help if there’s some pain or discomfort, sometimes caused by over-heating. Other players were seen doing similar at different games in England. New boots also mould better when damp, and there were a wide variety of fresh styles on show this weekend, with green and yellow a popular theme for the new season. The letter sent to De Jong last month is thought to inform the Dutchman that Barcelona think they are in a position to initiate criminal proceedings to establish what happened in relation to the signing of his contract and ascertain where responsibility resides for the supposed wrongdoing.
