AN IDEA OF THE RAF
Leeds is a movement for Barcelona star Rafinha, according to reports.

GOOD MORNING FOOTBALL FANS
What a day we had at the market.
Lionel Messi “em rendeixo” in Barcelona and entered his match to leave Camp Nou.
At least a year.

However, the Argentine struck the club’s president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, in doing so.
He said to Goal, “There’s some other way and that way to go to trial.
“I would never go to the court opposite Barca, it is the club I love, which has given me everything since my arrival.
“This is the myArray club I made my here.
“Barca gave me everything and I gave it my all.I know it happened to me to sue Barca.
He added: “I idea and I was sure I was on the loose to leave, the president said that at the end of the season I could make a decision about whether or not I would stay.”
“Now they hold on to the fact that I didn’t say it until June 10, when it turns out on June 10 we were competing for La Liga in the middle of this lousy coronavirus and that disease has replaced the entire season.
And that is the explanation why I am going to continue at the club.
“Now I’m still at the club because the president told me that the only way out is to pay the 630 million pound clause, and that’s impossible.”
On the other hand, Chelsea has shown its million-pound deal to point to Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz.

“Now I’m still at the club because the president told me that the only way out is to pay the 630 million pound clause, and that’s impossible.”
