Manchester United is reportedly prepared to make a huge financial commitment to secure Fermin Lopez, with an offer worth €100 million being mentioned.

Yamal didn't take part in Tuesday's training session with the team. Instead he enjoyed a little session with Aymeric Laporte and Marcos Llorente.

When you're in the first team of FC Barcelona, the best club in the world, the competition is what it has to be.

Upon seeing his number on the substitution board, Yamal avoided eye contact with head coach Hansi Flick and walked towards the bench clearly displeased. As he left the pitch, he repeatedly expressed his disagreement with the decision, saying: 'Always me... it is crazy,' making it clear that he did not understand the substitution at a stage when the match was still not fully secured.

"Just to clarify my moment with the phone was pure to communicate with the medical staff in the Netherlands at that moment," Depay wrote on X.

I'm always concerned about refereeing. I'm not saying I should be suspicious, but I am. And yes, I'm concerned because sometimes the same standards aren't applied.

When a player sometimes plays and sometimes doesn't, there's a lack of confidence in key moments because you don't feel the pitch, you've just come on, or you haven't played in the last two or three games. Sometimes there's a moment of hesitation.

Barcelona's recent victory over Rayo Vallecano has solidified their position at the top of La Liga, ensuring they will finish in the top four with a significant points gap.

"I've been silent since I resigned in October 2020 because, once the president does the job he's supposed to do, it's best to take a step back. But it's true that lately, both because of the inheritance - after five years, I'm still being talked about a lot - and because of the campaign, my name has come up again."

As far as my future is concerned, nothing has changed. I'm taking my time to decide what's best for me. No decisions have been made on my part yet.

This is a scandal, this is a disgrace, that sums up this action. It's a clear yellow card offense, it's blatant, but if we remember what happened in Pamplona we can understand this and why VAR didn't call him.
