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.
After telling the League giants that he sought to enact a clause that would allow him to leave for free, he has now admitted that he is unwilling to fight for his rights in court.
However, the Argentine struck the club’s president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, in doing so.
He said to Goal, “There’s some other way and what 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 them everything.I know you went on 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’re clinging to that I didn’t say it until June 10, when it turns out that on June 10 we were competing for La Liga in the midst of this lousy coronavirus and that disease has replaced the entire season.
And that’s why I’m still 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.
TELLS THE TIME
Timo Werner must have snubbed Manchester City to point to Chelsea.
Sport Bild claim that the German forward was a main target for Pep Guardiola this summer, who is highly susceptible to signing for Liverpool.
However, Werner, then star of RB Leipzig, lowered Pep’s advances once Chelsea manager Frank Lampard entered the race.
The Blues ended up paying a $47 million deal after complying with Werner’s termination clause.
OFF-BRAND
Mark Noble is NOT satisfied that Grady Diangana has been authorized to depart for West Brom.
Hammers captain tweeted: “As captain of this football club, I am devastated and unhappy that Grady is gone, a wonderful boy with a wonderful career!”
Diangana signed a four-year contract for the Baggies for a down payment of thirteen million pounds before tonight.

THE ART OF WORK
Mikel Arteta is very happy to meet Dani Ceballos for a year at Arsenal.
The midfielder has arrived at Real Madrid on loan for one season.

BAYERN FOR BLOOD
Lionel Messi has revealed that three humiliating defeats in the Champions League left him determined to leave Barcelona.
Barcelona beat Roma 4-1 in the champions’ quarter-final first leg in 2018 before escaping the festival with a 3-0 defeat in the opposing game.
They suffered a fall a year later when they lost a 3-0 lead to Liverpool, losing 4-0 at Anfield.
And his record loss to Bayern in Lisbon last month is already one of the darkest days in the club’s history.
He told Goal: “I’ve looked for more and I need to compete at the highest level, win titles, compete in the Champions League.You can win or lose because it’s so hard, but you have to compete.”
“At least compete for this and we won’t give in in Rome, Liverpool, Lisbon.All this led me to think about the resolution I was looking to implement.
HAMMER DEFENSE
West Ham has defended its resolution to Grady Diangana to West Brom.
The winger has been highly rated among enthusiasts, but going for a £ 13 million down payment to Prem’s rookies, the club mentions his desire to sell before he can buy.
The Hammers said: ‘The resolve to sell Grady was reluctantly made but, in the end, in the club’s most productive interest and with the aim of strengthening the team in other spaces at this time.
“What was earned for Grady will be reinvested entirely in the team, according to the coach’s goals.
“We believe it will give us the most productive opportunity imaginable to make sure we have a balanced team to compete in the Premier League and able to achieve our goals and ambitions this season.”
DO YOU RECOGNIZE THESE TWO?
James Rodríguez and Abdoulaye Doucoure are believed to be at Liverpool tonight signing for Everton.
Excited, Toffees fans?

DIFFERENT GRADY
Grady Diangana has finished his move to West Brom, an agreement that has provoked the wrath of West Ham fans.
Duncan Wright of SunSport writes that the Hammers have accepted a thirteen million pound offer with another 6 million pounds in bonuses for their academic product that spent the season on loan with the Baggies.
And Diangana, 22, wasted no time agreeing on terms and tonight put on paper a four-year contract with The Hawthorns.
The resolve to settle for a special offer for the end generated anger among West Ham enthusiasts disappointed by the resolve to take credit for one of its brightest products in years.

BOG OFF
Chelsea are reportedly set for another pay day with former man Jeremie Boga closing in on a move to Rennes.
Goal claims the French side have made an initial £17million bid plus add-ons for the Sassuolo winger, 23.
When rumours of a £13m buyback emerged, Chelsea renegotiated with the Italians, removing the clause and instead inserting a sell-on fee worth between ten and 15 per cent.
And Boga, also related to Everton, now seems destined to return to the former Rennes lender, who finished third in Ligue 1 last season to secure a place in the Champions League.
It is believed that an offer of be has already been rejected through Sassuolo and hopes that the new be offer of at least 17 million pounds will be enough to close a deal.
KOUL-ING OFF
Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has the club’s bad blood with Manchester City that is affecting any deal for Kalidou Koulibaly.
Serie A infuriated Pep Guardiola’s men after Jorginho’s failed play in the summer of 2018.
He said to Canale 21, “How can we have a general and quiet negotiation with Manchester City to sell Koulibaly?They won’t talk to us about Jorginho’s agreement two years ago.”
He added: “Koulibaly and [Arkadiusz] Milik are about to leave, if the movement market allows it.
“So if the market moves us to sell those two wonderful players, we’ll know how to update them.Otherwise, we’ll let you know next year.
“Kalidou is a wonderful person, he would be extraordinarily unhappy to lose him.But a moment for everything, even to separate.
WHEN EVERYTHING IS SAID AND DONE
Elsewhere, West Ham would possibly be about to flee a Said Benrahma move.
The Telegraph on the Hammers’ refusal to meet Brentford’s 20 million pound end valuation.
Since defense is perceived as a more vital domain for David Moyes to improve, the deal is stagnant.
Aston Villa is also enthusiastic but, likewise, he would possibly not have to pay full value for Algerian.
LUK OUT
Luka Modric says Barcelona would have been there if Lionel Messi had left.
The real Croatian star of Madrid compared to the past discussed the Argentine’s departure with the time Cristiano Ronaldo left Los Blancos for Juventus in 2018.
He told the AFP before Messi’s announcement: “It would be a huge loss, like when Christian left.
“But you can’t think of the past. It’s football and that’s it.
“If that happens, it will be a massive loss to the prestige of the league.But we have to move on. The other players will be the stars.”
“When Christian left, the same thing happened; Real Madrid’s life has followed him and will be the same for Barcelona and the Messi League.
‘NEVER’
Lionel Messi has made it clear that he will never have filed a legal action against Barcelona.
The club appears to have won its war of words for its termination clause, which led Messi to accept that his 12-month contract be maintained.
And he said to Goal, “There’s some other way and what 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.
MORE MESSI
This is what Lionel Messi said about his movement clause, which has been the subject of legal threats.
He told Goal, “I have an idea and I was sure I was on the loose to leave, the president said that by the end of the season I could make a decision about whether or not I would stay.”
“Now they cling to the fact that I didn’t say it until June 10, when it turns out that on June 10 we were competing for La Liga in the midst of this lousy coronavirus and that disease has replaced the whole season.
And that’s why I’m still 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.”
IT’S OFFICIAL.
Lionel Messi stays in Barcelona.
But he’s NOT happy.
The striker told Goal, “I wasn’t satisfied and I looked to leave.
“I have been allowed to do this in any way and will remain at the club to enter into a legal dispute.
“The control of the club led by Bartomeu is a disaster.”
DEMORA BARCA
Although we already knew the basics of Lionel Messi’s upcoming announcement, he was delayed.
Officially, we’ll hear the news at five o’clock in the afternoon.
Stay tuned…

He stays, as they say in Spain … Messi stays!
The blue-rant striker told Goal that he will take to court with his club.
While Catalans say it’s their only lead right now, plus a rival who contributes 630 million pounds, he’s holding out at Camp Nou.
DECISION MESSI ENTRY
We’re expecting a public announcement about Lionel Messi’s long term anytime now…
Watch this place!
THE HOUSE OF ROME
Chris Smalling is about to seal 18 million pounds from Manchester United to Rome.
United demanded 20 million pounds for the defender, but would settle for the 18 million pounds plus bonuses, according to Sky Sports Italia.
The deal did not appear to be approved anywhere because the Italian company was only willing to pay 15 million pounds, which United rejected.
Roma were willing to retain Smalling after his impressive one-year period with the club.
The 30-year-old revealed that he was devastated to leave Rome and willing to settle for a pay cut to make the deal come true.
In a moving post on his Instagram page, Smalling said, “I’m discouraged from finishing what we started this season.”
Sincerely
Frank Lampard is about to continue his summer expenses as he marks a new goalkeeper and defensive midfielder.
Blues manager has already welcomed Hakim Ziyech, 27, Timo Werner, 24, Ben Chilwell, 23, Thiago Silva, 35, and Malang Sarr, 21, on his team.
But he is expected to move his moving business beyond two hundred million pounds when he completes a record contract with the club for 21-year-old Kai Havertz.
The game maker has left his German team in the League of Nations to complete the final stages of his 90 million pound play.
But according to The Telegraph, Lampard remains a goal scorer and defensive midfielder.
SunSport has revealed that Kepa Arrizabalaga under fire will fight for his position at Stamford Bridge, but that could not possibly prevent the club from competing.
Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and West Ham’s Declan Rice are understood to be on Chelsea’s radar.
RED SERG
Man Utd would possibly have to settle for signing Sergio Reguilon on loan from Real Madrid despite an offer of $27 million for him.
Despite the interest of Tottenham, Paris-Saint Germain, Napoli and Juventus, United would be the team that would have submitted an offer.
The offer of 27 million pounds was made this week, however, they can only land the star for 12 months at first.
Reguilon remains a contract until 2023 and is highly appreciated by the leaders of the Bernabéu club after crossing the club’s quarry.
And while Zidane would possibly be pleased to sell to raise funds for the move, Madrid’s most sensible managers can also lend it only instead, Sport says.
The defender is in a position to spend another year at Sevilla and hopes that a replacement of the coach before the expiration of his contract can give him a long-term opportunity at Real Madrid.
UPDATE MESSI
Lionel Messi has refused to allow his contract with Barcelona to include a £ 624 million clause as he seeks to leave on a loose transfer.
An English translation of the reading read reads as follows:

BAY AND GRANDE
Thiago has admitted that “Bayern is my home” despite their imminent transfer to the centre of the fight between Manchester United and Liverpool.
The midfielder enters the last year of his contract, with Bayern in a position to make money in the Spaniard valued at 27 million pounds.
Liverpool at the helm to point him out, with United having announced donny van de Beek’s 40 million-pound signaling from Ajax.
But despite the hypothesis linking Thiago to an outing of Bayern, he continues to target his current club and the Spanish League of Nations crusade.
He told the ZDF: “I only think about the game opposing Ukraine.Then let’s see.
“Bayern is my home and I am pleased to be there.”
