Xavi Rules Out Manchester United Signing Ansu Fati From FC Barcelona https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomsanderson/2023/02/04/xavi-rules-out-manchester-united-signing-ansu-fati-from-fc-barcelona/?sh=7714ab646357 FC Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez has ruled out any chance Manchester United might have had of signing Ansu Fati. Reports emerged from Catalonia on Friday claiming that the Premier League giants were interested in buying the former teenager prodigy from his boyhood club. Fati is struggling for form and protaganism in Xavi's talented team which currently tops La Liga, with a decision to opt for a four-man midfield only leaving space for a right winger as either Gavi or Pedri operate as false left wingers. Probed on the rumors ahead of Barca's meeting with Sevilla at Camp Nou on Sunday evening, Xavi Hernandez poured cold water on any remote hopes Barca's opponents in the Europa League in under a fortnight might have had of landing the number '10'. "No, no, no... Things will work out for him," Xavi insisted. "We have to be patient. Ansu is a spectacular asset to the club. We trust him a lot, he is working very well. I am very happy with his tremendous mentality in training, but be patient. "He is 20 years old and needs time, like everyone else. Things will work out for him, now is not the time to talk about sales," Xavi said. United will get a closer look at Fati when they take on Barca twice in a fortnight in the mentioned Europa League playoff tie. For Xavi, though, it seems like a case of 'hands off' despite Barca's need to make a big player sale in the summer. This is due to La Liga president Javier Tebas revealing that the Catalans must shave €200mn ($220mn) from the wage bill as they are currently failing to meet Financial Fair Play limits for the 2023/2024 season. Xavi clearly has faith in his winger and striker, however, who burst onto the scene in 2019 as a 16-year-old and broke a series of youngest goalscorer and appearance maker records in Spain and on the continent for club and country. With the return of Robert Lewandowski from suspension, it is unlikely that Fati will get the nod against Sevilla tomorrow as Barca look to extend their five point lead at the summit.

Exclusive: Everton plot out-of-window Chelsea star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signing, his deal could be terminated https://www.footballinsider247.com/everton-sources-Chelsea-signing-deal-auba/ Everton are eyeing a potential out-of-window move for Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, sources have told Football Insider. The Merseysiders are keen to sign a free agent forward after losing out on multiple attacker signings in January.

Rafael Leao makes decision after Chelsea January spending spree https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/transfer-news/report-rafael-leao-makes-decision-after-Chelsea-january-spending-spree/ Rafael Leao believes Chelsea do not really want him after their January spending spree and is now closer to signing a contract extension with AC Milan, according to Gianluca di Marzio. The Blues have reportedly been linked with Leao for a while, with even reports suggesting they were leading the race for the winger. However, rather than trying to convince Milan to sell their star player, Chelsea spent a reported €70milion (£63m) plus a potential €30m (£27m) in add-ons on Mykhailo Mudryk, another talented left winger. Di Marzio claims that Leao is now convinced that Chelsea do not have any serious interest in him after their January spending. “I expect a renewal, although I don’t know what the contractual conditions and the value of the clause will be,” the Italian journalist told Chiamarsi Bomber when speaking about Leao’s contract situation at Milan. “There is the intention on both sides to continue together. “[Leao] also knows that staying at AC Milan is the best choice because he is loved and considered by everyone. “Moreover, he understood that Chelsea didn’t really want him otherwise, given all the money spent in January, they would have made a mega offer for him as well.” Would Leao have been a better signing than Mudryk? Only time can tell, but both are obviously exceptional talents. While it is not impossible, Mudryk’s arrival might also have closed the door for any potential Chelsea move for Leao. Even if Chelsea were to offload Christian Pulisic, who is reportedly among the six players the London club are looking to sell in the summer, it seems unlikely that Leao would agree to move to Stamford Bridge without guaranteed game time.

Galatasaray on verge of agreeing loan transfer with Chelsea over striker David Datro Fofana https://turkish-football.com/galatasaray-on-verge-of-agreeing-transfer-with-Chelsea-over-striker-david-datro-fofana/ Galatasaray are on the verge of agreeing to a 1.5-year loan deal with Chelsea over striker David Datro Fofana according to Fanatik. Per the source, after a development in negotiations the Blues are close to agreeing terms with Galatasaray. The report claims that Chelsea initially were not keen on sending Fofana to the Super Lig but with the other major leagues transfer windows closing the Blues do not have many options if Fofana is to gain experience on loan. The Super Lig transfer window stays open until 8 Febuary 2023. Chelsea and Galatasaray are set for another round of talks where the possibility of reducing the loan term to six-months will be discussed. Despite only joining Chelsea in January the 20-year-old striker could struggle for playing time due to competition up front. After being left on the bench for the last three league games Fofana played 15 minutes in the goalless draw against Fulham. Galatasaray are keen on strengthening their attack as they continue efforts to win the league title. The Yellow Reds are currently first after winning their last 11 games in a row and are six points ahead of second-placed rivals Fenerbahce.

IF we decide to go Homegrown for a new right footed CB buy which one would you all prefer`? Saliba is by far the best, but Arse will never sell him to us unless he is like 30yo or older so Nathan Collins ? Taylor Harwood-Bellis ? (will City sell him?) Adam Webster? re-buy Fikayo Tomori? re-buy Guehi?
