When Rashford joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester United, the agreement between the two clubs was clear. Barcelona negotiated a purchase option worth €30 million that could be activated once the campaign ends. Importantly, the clubs also agreed on the financial framework of the player's potential contract, meaning there would be no need for fresh negotiations later.

Now, according to journalist Matteo Moretto, Alvaro Cortes is just 'one step away' from signing a new contract with Barcelona. Cortes' current contract with the Blaugrana expires in 2027, meaning he would be entering the final year of his deal at the end of the season.

What happened to Dro was a betrayal, if it happened with Jorge Mendes it would not have happened as it has happened with Ivan de la Pena. It has been a shame and a backstabbing.

The agent of Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé, recently had a meeting with Manchester City sporting director Hugo Viana, according to Diario Sport. The 28-year-old, who won the Ballon d'Or for his part in PSG's UEFA Champions League triumph last season, has a contract with the European champions that runs until 2028.

Bayern is way more balanced than Barcelona in terms of how they attack, how they shift places. You will see, whoever it is - it can be the winger inside, the striker - Bayern know what they need to do, they press well, they're very difficult to beat at times.

He's a very talented player and a prolific goalscorer. As a token of my appreciation, I'd offer him another year on his contract. He came at a very difficult time, and despite his track record at Bayern, he pushed hard to come to Barcelona. He gave up a lot.

I've improved a lot since Hansi arrived. I think he's helped me develop many aspects of my game. And I think I'm having a good season with him. He's a very demanding coach, but also very approachable. He's helped me with decision-making and also with scoring goals, always staying focused during the game, and also in defence. I think he's helped me in almost every aspect as a player.

While Rashford's debut season at Barca has been largely positive, it will perhaps be of concern to the club that his output has dropped off in recent weeks. In total, he has scored 10 goals and bagged 13 assists, making for a respectable 23 goal contributions in 37 games. That said, he's now failed to score or assist in any of his last four outings across all competitions.
