The tensions between Barcelona and the Spanish national football team have reached a boiling point lately following RFEF's decision to release Lamine Yamal from the squad heading into the November international break. This dispute intensified after the RFEF revealed that the player had undergone a medical procedure without their knowledge. Luis de la Fuente has already spoken out publicly against Barcelona's handling of the situation, while the club officials insist RFEF was kept in the loop.

One such player who lined up for Celta Vigo on the night but has a history at Barcelona was Oscar Mingueza, the young, who was seemingly a mainstay under Ronald Koeman but was offloaded after Xavi Hernandez took over. Since his move to Galicia, Mingueza has developed tremendously and has made himself a mainstay at right-back - so much so that he has generated serious attention on the transfer market front.

According to Fichajes, Premier League surprise package Sunderland have tabled a stunning 80 million offer for the Spanish playmaker. Sunderland are ready to make ambitious offer for Lopez The newly promoted side have taken the top flight by storm, sitting fourth in the Premier League table under French manager Regis Le Bris. Backed by strong financial support and a clear long-term vision, the Black Cats are reportedly ready to make Lopez the face of their project as they aim to establish themselves among England's elite.

Gravenberch is enjoying his best football right now, and he is well settled in the Premier League. He has no reason to leave Liverpool. He is a key player for them, and there have been rumours of a potential contract extension. Liverpool need to keep players like him at the club if they want to do well. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the player to commit his long-term future to the club.

Daniel Munoz is once again being linked with a move to Barcelona after playing a starring role in the Premier League with Crystal Palace. The right-back, who has previously admitted Ronaldinho was his idol and that he'd love to play for Barcelona, is said to have impressed sporting director Deco. 'Transfer expert' Ekrem Konur says that Hansi Flick is eager to bring in a right-back and that Deco is "pushing" to get a deal done.

Over 23,000 fans packed into the stadium for an open training session - the first public event in nearly 900 days and according to Joan Sentelles, director of Espai Barça and head of construction, everything went "even better than expected." For Barcelona, this wasn't just another event; it was a symbolic test ahead of a crucial moment. The club hopes to officially return home on November 22, when they host Athletic Club in La Liga.

Interestingly, this would not be the first time Flick has experimented with Martin in central defence. After Inigo Martinez's departure, the manager tested Martin as a left-sided centre-back during training sessions and friendlies, and the results were encouraging. The youngster adapted well to the role, showing composure and positional awareness beyond his years. Those trials could now prove vital, as Flick considers all his options before Sunday's crucial clash against Celta Vigo.

The original plan was for the Blaugrana to face either Universitario de Deportes or the Peruvian national team. However, the date clashed with their final La Liga fixture before the winter break, set for December 20 against Villarreal. That match, initially intended to be played in Miami, still lacks an official venue. Logistical hurdles and player welfare were reportedly key in the club's decision.
