Barcelona are already laying the groundwork for next season, and one high-profile attacking name continues to feature prominently in their internal discussions. According to a recent report from MARCA, Barcelona remain interested in Julian Alvarez, despite the striker not enjoying his most productive campaign with Atletico Madrid. It is known that Barcelona's sporting management is actively developing a roadmap for the attacking unit ahead of the summer transfer window.
Barcelona's plans for the summer transfer window could suffer a significant setback, with new developments complicating their long-standing interest in Etta Eyong. According to a report from SPORT, the Blaugrana are now facing serious competition as Levante prepare to listen to offers for the highly rated forward and are open to facilitating his exit at the end of the season.
According to SPORT, Barcelona youngster Pedro 'Dro' Fernández did not train in the session prior to the match against Racing Santander and will not travel to Santander for the Copa del Rey tie. The 18-year-old midfielder will be unavailable and will not join the squad after it was confirmed that he is carrying physical discomfort that prevents him from competing at full capacity.
For the first time since the Spanish Super Cup changed its format, a team defended its crown last night and it was Barcelona who beat Real Madrid for the second successive time in the final of the competition. The game was far tighter than the team would have hoped for, especially with Real Madrid approaching the game with queer and unexpected tactics. Hansi Flick's men, however, found all the right answers when it mattered most.
