I had been at [Manchester] City for three years, so I was aware of all of our best young talent, but I was also aware of all the young players of, say, [born in] 2002 right the way up to 2007/8. So I knew all of the best talent, and I had a pretty strong idea that the players at Cardiff were as good as a lot of the best young talent in Europe.

"My plan is to renew. I'm being completely honest. This will be the last step in my career. I feel great. I'd like to renew, but now is not the time to talk about it."

Rashford remains the primary target for FC Barcelona to provide depth behind Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, but a change in his salary could complicate matters.

Christian Kofane has wasted no time making his mark at Bayer Leverkusen. Strong, direct, and fearless in the final third, his playing style has even drawn early comparisons to Samuel Eto'o, which is not a comparison that gets thrown around lightly.

Sorloth is expected to cost around 40 million euros this summer and has impressed for Atletico this season, scoring 17 goals in all competitions for Diego Simeone's men.

Eduardo Conceicao has reportedly made a decisive choice regarding his immediate future and it strongly favours the Catalan club. He has chosen to wait for Barcelona to formalise their interest.

Patricio Pacifico has made an instant impression with Barcelona Atletic after signing in the winter from Uruguayan club Defensor Sporting. The transfer does include an option to make the deal permanent and the Catalans have already decided to take that up.

Barcelona's La Masia is a factory that never stops churning out talent, and in recent years, its stocks have gone sky-high once more.

Barcelona, you could choose from the goalkeeper to the striker. But for sure, the understanding of the game, this kind of mix between tactical and talent was Andres Iniesta.

I've watched the 6-1 game [against PSG] many times, I saw it live. Neymar has been a huge part of my childhood, he's my idol and I'll always be grateful for what he's given to football. He inspires us all. You pay for a ticket to see him and two or three days after the match you'd watch it again just to see his plays. I want to thank him for everything he's given to football and I hope he can be at the World Cup.
