However, one club that could pay a payment for Barca’s captain is Man City, former coach Pep Guardiola, who is reportedly interested in a deal worth up to 134 million pounds.
Follow ALL the latest gossip and transfer updates below…
GOOD MORNING FOOTBALLERS
Yesterday, another busy day, England’s arrangements for his double lead in the League of Nations next month sank into chaos after FIVE players tested positive for Covid-19.
Five members of the Gareth Southgate look have conducted coronavirus tests in recent days.
And now they are facing a worried wait to see if they will have to withdraw before the clashes against Iceland and Denmark.
In the Lionel Messi saga, barcelona enthusiasts broke into the Camp Nou in Messi and demanded the resignation of President Joep Maria Bartomeu.
Messi refused to meet with Bartomeu and later that day it became known that the president ‘ready to resign’ if Messi publicly promised to remain at the club.
The Argentine superstar was first seen in Barcelona since his bombing movement while he and Luis Suarez visited a place to eat together.
And Wayne Rooney told Messi he could win the Ballon d’Or at Manchester United or City.
Barca would be waiting for a relay from Eric Garcia if Messi joined the City with which he was strongly linked.
Pep Guardiola is going to talk to the 33-year-old.
And Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has also suggested messing with his former team, City, even if it strengthens their Premier League rivals.
Former city captain Vincent Kompany also put his two cents.
He said: “It would be amazing for the club to have a player like him; could take the next step to win the Champions League.
“I know Guardiola’s way of thinking, so I can believe they’re going to have a good relationship.
“If Messi has to leave Barcelona, I can only respect his decision. Let’s be transparent, as a City fan, I hope Messi will join them.”
If Messi leaves, his departure from Barcelona emulates that of Neymar with a dreadful legal war because FIFA and UEFA cannot intervene.
And finally, back in England, enthusiasts will be able to watch EVERY Premier League game live on TV.
First reported through the Times, the FA showed that Saturday’s TV cut at 3 p.m. would rise for the start of the new season on September 12.
This means that it is almost guaranteed that all the matches of the English elite will be in front of the British public until the enthusiasts return to the stadiums.
And Premier League clubs are at war with a NEW plan to attract more submarines next season.
Manchester United and Manchester City with Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are members of an organization that allows FIVE alternates.
COVID CHAOS – UPDATE
England sank into crisis after FIVE members of Gareth Southgate’s team tried the Covid-19.
The 23-man team from Southgate must begin education on Monday for the League of Nations double with Iceland and Denmark.
But the head of the Three Lions faces a worried wait to know how many will appear.
The five English players with coronavirus are quarantined, but some may need to register for the camp next week.
It’s a huge headache for Southgate, who has already endured a week’s nightmare with defense arrest Harry Maguire in Greece.
Players will be evaluated prior to their arrival at St George’s Park and will be re-evaluated as soon as they show up for work.
TRIPLE AMENAZA
Manchester City is reportedly looking for a sensational condiment with the player and cash for Barcelona star Lionel Messi.
According to Sport, the City is willing to pay 89.5 million pounds for Messi, while he is also willing to offer Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesús and Eric Garcia.
They say the City is positive about the option of reaching an agreement, as they say the firm is a genuine option.
Barcelona has been connected to a movement of striker Jesus this week as an imaginable replacement of Luis Suarez.
According to reports, contacts have already been made with Etihad on an agreement to take Jesus to the Nou camp.
And it is known that central Garcia is a target for Barcelona, but they are willing to pay 20.5 million pounds to the City.
Talk
Lionel Messi has spoken to Pep Guardiola while Manchester City waits to see if he needs to sign for them.
City is in a position to make a move for the Argentine superstar after telling Barcelona that he was looking to leave.
Messi, 33, and Guardiola received a phone call before this week, although there is no indication that an imaginable movement has been discussed.
The duo have remained since his time at the Camp Nou when he won the Champions League twice.
Senior Argentine newspaper La Nación even claims messi told his friends: “I’m going to contact Pep so I can move to City. Football is spectacular.
The people desperately want to become kings of Europe and Messi is perceived as the signature that can, in spite of everything, make this possible.
KOM TO THE CITY
Vincent Kompany has suggested Lionel Messi sign up for Manchester City and lead the club to champions.
City legend Kompany, 34, said: “It would be amazing for the club to have a player like him; could take the next step to win the Champions League.
“I know Guardiola’s way of thinking, so I can believe they’re going to have a good relationship.
“If Messi has to leave Barcelona, I can only respect his decision. Let’s be transparent. As a City fan, I hope Messi joins them.”
He has been linked with more clubs than any other player, but even if he comes to a Premier League rival it will be good for football.
“I can believe Pep and Messi have each other’s phone numbers. So they can be called.”
SUB-BATTLE
Premier League clubs are at war with a NEW plan to attract more submarines next season.
Manchester United and Manchester City with Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are members of an organization that allows FIVE alternates.
The Board of Directors of the International Football Association (IFAB) has given the leagues the option of extending the rule of the five submarines per season, as the Scottish Premier League has chosen to maintain it.
But the Premier League opposed the proposal, as the clubs, adding the newly promoted West Brom, Leeds and Fulham, voted 13-7 last month to keep the numbers.
Many believe that the low five rule is unfair because it only benefits richer clubs with bigger teams.
However, he is back today on the calendar of a Premier League zoom convention after the top dissatisfied clubs discovered enough to raise him again.
TAKE ZLAT
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has reportedly agreed to a new one-year contract at AC Milan.
The Swedish striker returned to Serie A midway through the 2019/20 season, where he scored 11 goals in 20 games.
Ibrahimovic and Milan have been stuck in contract negotiations for weeks, and his agent Mino Raiola said he is “optimistic” that an agreement can be reached.

MYSTERIOUS LET’S GO
The ignored presenters of Football Saturday can move from joy to show, with a position in 2020 “delighted”, I am a celebrity.
Sky Sports surprised fans of its popular show by getting rid of former high-level superstars Matt Le Tissier, Charlie Nicholas, Scott Minto and Phil Thompson.
Now, former England winger Le Tissier, in particular, has been announced for the hit ITV series, presented through Ant ‘n Dec.
The legend of Southampton is rated 6/4 to appear in this year’s special edition, where you may simply practice chilling in the “enchanted” ruins of Gwrych Castle in Wales.
Former Arsenal maverick Charlie Nicholas is 3/1 and Chelsea’s former left-back, Minto, 6/1; even Liverpool hero Thompson gave a 10/1 chance.
Sky Sports praised the “good work” done through the experts for a long time, but revealed that their football skills were going through what could be just a primary review.
‘LEO AD’
Mikel Arteta hides his enthusiasm at the prospect of Lionel Messi’s arrival in the Premier League with his former club Manchester City.
Arsenal’s coach has been largely following progress at Barcelona since Messi, the club, requested his transfer.
Ambitious City are leading the chase for the Argentine superstar and Arteta says: “If Messi comes to England we’re all going to enjoy it.
“I am a Barcelona fan since I was a child and it is sad to see the most productive player in the history of football leave this club.
“He’s been connected to more clubs than any other player in the world, but even if he gets to one of our Premier League rivals, it’s for football.
“If you need to have the highest competitive league in the world, you have to have the players. And in my opinion, Messi is the greatest of all time.
…
The FA will not impose the disruption again until the enthusiasts return and are reinstated until capacity is allowed.
The goal of the blackout, which was realized in the 1980s, is to make the participation of spectators and bases live.
But after Covid-19 took a turn to the world, the league had to rethink.
And after the game restarted in April, all the remaining games of the 2019-2020 season were to be seen, some even to lose when the BBC organized its first live Premier League policy.
The entire Championship, Ligue 1 and League 2 will be visible to fans.
Premier League presidents are expected to officially adapt to an assembly on Thursday.
LIVE AND KICK
Once they return, fans will be able to watch EVERY Premier League game live on TV.
First reported through the Times, the FA showed that Saturday’s TV cut at 3 p.m. would rise for the start of the new season on September 12.
This means that it is almost guaranteed that all the matches of the English elite will be in front of the British public until the enthusiasts return to the stadiums.
The force outage had already been removed for Project Restart because all games were broadcast after the pause in play imposed by the coronavirus.
The Premier League had warned that the same old Sky Sports and BT Sports contracts would be respected, which would see that 40% of the games are not available on live television.
But clubs are concerned that this may cause many to resort to illegal transmissions and need to support permit subscription holders to view match subscription access codes.
…
At this time, there are no plans to call replacements for those who tested positive.
The Mail adds that England players will be evaluated before they arrive at St George’s Park on Monday, and will return as soon as they show up for work.
With many players returning from the holidays after a long season, there are fears that several stars will have a coronavirus.
COR BLIMEY – BREAK!
England’s arrangements for his double lead in the league of nations have plunged into chaos after THREE players tried Covid-19.
According to the Daily Mail, 3 members of Gareth Southgate’s appearance have conducted coronavirus tests in recent days.
And now they are facing a worried wait to see if they will have to withdraw before the clashes against Iceland and Denmark.
Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has already passed through Southgate for his antics in Mykonos.
It has been claimed that English knew who the players who contracted the fatal virus were.
But it has been said that there is growing confidence that it is inevitable that they will have to withdraw in the midst of the Covid-19 Premier League epidemic.
ZAT IS YOUR LOT
Wilfried Zaha is reportedly determined to move from Crystal Palace this fall.
With the scroll window open until early October, the end would be pleased to expect your next move.
Having failed to seal a move to Everton or Arsenal last summer, Zaha spent the season with the Eagles but failed to produce his form.
This time, the first reports on Palace’s request for a 70 million pound payment for its academy product.
According to the Guardian, the attacker must still leave and remain patient during the long market affected by the coronavirus.
DON’T GRAICIAS
Lionel Messi does not need to meet with Josep Maria Bartomeu to discuss his long career in Barcelona, he reports.
Furious fans have called for the club president to resign after the 33-year-old handed in a transfer request.
According to Marca, the club has planned for Bartomeu to meet Messi to check it out and convince him to stay.
But Messi is not intended to talk to the president as he seeks to leave the club.
The club’s most sensible goalscorer has made a decision and intends to stand firm.
But he’ll practice with his teammates again on Monday in the face of any legal reaction.
DO AS JOR SAYS
Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan believes Lionel Messi will stay on the baseline in Barcelona and pass anywhere this summer.

WHERE THERE IS A WILL
The president of Barcelona, Josep Maria Bartomeu, is “willing to resign” if Lionel Messi publicly promises him at the club.
The club leader under the chimney said he would meet the demands of the enthusiasts and move away from the Nou course, if that helps keep Messi at the club.
Argentina’s 33-year-old superstar revealed her preference for giving up this week after a season of horror at Barca.
The Argentine admitted being tempted to stay at the Camp Nou if Bartomeu resigns from his position.
Bartomeu has the right to stay at the club for a year when the new presidential elections are held.
But, with Barcelona’s most productive interests at heart, Bartomeu supposedly said he’d leave if Messi promised to stay, according to TV3.
There will be a way
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has been inspired by what he has heard from Willian’s new signing.
Chelsea’s summer recruit has said he needs the club to win the Champions League.
Speaking to the club’s website, Arteta said, “Well, it’s the right spirit! I need players who are positive and willing to win for our club.
“That’s the feeling I had from the first day I met Willian: he’s not satisfied with what he’s done in his career, which is a lot.
“And it will bring special qualities to our team, as well as the attitude and mentality you just discussed in your question.”
CUT OUT
Lionel Messi’s departure in Barcelona can simply mimic Neymar’s departure to camp Nou with an ugly, long-running legal battle.
The 33-year-old Argentine star has revealed that he will leave the club this week after a terrible end to the 2019-20 season.
Messi has a clause in his contract that prevents FIFA and UEFA from interfering in any dispute between the player and the club.
This means that any dispute between Messi and Barcelona will go to the Spanish courts.
This can launch a long saga, much like Neymar’s dispute with Barca after signing for Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.
It’s a rap
Arsenal enthusiasts are devastated when Magalhaes or Aubameyang’s “ad video” filmed on Emirates turns out to be a rapper.
Fans were largely disappointed after an “ad video” filmed in the Emirates was none of that.
Arsenal fans patiently await the announcement of Gabriel’s signing and the news of Aubameyang’s new contract.
But they believe the wait was even though it all ended when a fan provoked a lot of excitement on a scale in the stadium.
He filmed the status of an unknown figure in front of a camera on the Emirates field while wearing arsenal’s new shirt.
Uploading the photographs to Reddit, he subtitled them: “I’m traveling through the stadium and they’re photographing Aubameyang with the new outdoor equipment.
“New contract on the way”.
But after a series of detective paintings on Twitter, enthusiasts still learned that the guy was a rapper named Yizzy filming a video clip.
FRANK’S DRAWING POWER
Chelsea’s new signing, Ben Chilwell, has the candor with which Lampard convinced him to move from Leicester to Chelsea.
He said: “I’m very happy to sign for Chelsea at this exciting time for the club and the coach played a vital role in my signing here.”
“I think every single player should play for a huge club in their career and I’m no different, but talking to Frank before signing made me need to come and play here.
“He put a lot of confidence in me, he told me about the formula he needs to play, how he could have compatibility and he’s a very smart guy you can communicate with about anything.
“It’s vital to have those dates and accept it as true with a coach and you also need young players to have a chance.”
JUST WAIT AND OSEI
Cardiff has left Arsenal side Jordi Osei-Tutu on a one-season contract.
The 21-year-old is the sixth young gunner to be on loan this summer after spending last year with VfL Bochum.
In Germany’s second tier, Osei-Tutu played a decisive role in his team’s relegation problems.
Having discovered a midfield house, he scored 3 and scored 3 on an undefeated 11-game streak at the end of the campaign.
Although he was left mourning a pre-season exit for the 2.Bundesliga team when he was the victim of racist abuse opposed to the Swiss team in St. Gallen.
Osei-Tutu has already made his first outing in the Bluebirds jersey, in a 3-0 friendly win over Newport.
EMERSON DAYS NUMBERED
With the signing of Ben Chilwell from Leicester for 50 million pounds, Emerson disearths Himself Chilwell and Alonso in the field of selection.
Emerson would be available for 26 million pounds, a maximum value for a player who does not appear regularly.
A long contract in Italy is out of the question, but one thing is certain, the time of the Italian internationals at the club will end soon.
PARTIAL ROUTES
Atletico Madrid is reportedly close to Espanyol midfielder Marc Roca, which could pave the way for Arsenal’s target, Thomas Partey, to leave the club.
Ghana’s foreigner has long been a target for the Gunners, who have yet to meet their forty-five million pound clause.
Mikel Arteta would be desperate to reorganize his field center with Matteo Guendouzi and Mesut Ozil excluded from the lineup.
Real Madrid’s loan from Dani Ceballos has returned to Spain with Houssem Aouar del Lyon and Allan del Napoli.
The delay in The signing of Partey is believed to be atleti’s request that its clause be fully respected.
While the 27-year-old would like a weekly salary of 200,000 euros, the Premier League club is suffering for the money.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ move to the Wolves can facilitate negotiations, as Arsenal hopes to earn 20 million pounds from the academy’s output.
NOU START?
Sadio Mane has been “offered to Barcelona” to update Lionel Messi, according to reports in Europe.
The 33-year-old Argentine stunned world football after declaring that he was looking to leave Barca after a chaotic end in the 2019–20 season.
Man City is the first favourite to point out Messi, and the player even claims to have called Pep Guardiola before a match imaginable, having worked on the past in combination at the Camp Nou.
And reports in Europe say Mane can move to Barcelona thanks to Ronald Koeman.
Although he is a fan of Los Blancos coach Zinedine Zidane, Mane can simply move to Barca to rekindle his relationship with Koeman.
Mane catapulted to the world level after lighting up the Premier League with the Dutchman in Southampton before his 30 million pound move to Anfield in 2016.
Liverpool doesn’t need to sell its star man.
