"Playing for Benfica, just like at Barça, is out of love. I have one year left on my contract; if I have to play in Saudi Arabia, I'll play; if I have to play in Europe, I'll play. It will depend on Al Hilal. When Barcelona calls, you can't refuse. I feel at home here; I've adapted very well."

Eric Garcia has established himself as one of Barcelona's key players, demonstrating excellent form throughout the season, making himself an 'omnipresent' figure in Flick's Barcelona.

"Although he didn't speak much English, he was so good with me and he always wanted to help me improve. He was taking time on the training pitch to help me out."

After starting out in the academy at his dad's former club Wimbledon, the attacking midfielder made the move to Chelsea. A loan spell with League One Shrewsbury last season was hampered by the side's poor form and ended by injury, but Castledine so thoroughly excelled at Huddersfield in the first half of this campaign that Championship Middlesbrough snapped him up on a permanent move in the January transfer window.

When the news cycle spins so fast, it's worth remembering where Brentford were in the summer. They had lost their popular manager of seven years, Thomas Frank. They had lost their two best forwards, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa. They had lost their goalkeeper Mark Flekken. And they had lost two stalwarts in Christian Nrgaard and Ben Mee (even if the latter's involvement the previous season had been limited as he turned 35).

United are 'aggressively' chasing Kinteh, with the talent considered a long-term investment. United are alongside Chelsea, PSV, and Ajax in wanting the sign the 19-year-old who has an estimated value of just £4.3m. The outlet claims that United currently have the advantage in the race for Kinteh, although there has been no official offer submitted just yet.

Wealdstone have signed MK Dons defender Charlie Waller on a short-term loan deal. The 20-year-old spent December on loan with Rochdale, making three appearances. Waller has played 11 times for MK Dons' first team including eight in League Two last season. He also had a loan spell last term with Sutton United back in the National League playing 22 times for the club and scoring once.

"I'm very happy to be here, to have this opportunity. I'm just ready to fight and to play games," said Disasi, who has been capped five times by his country. "It's an exciting challenge. We know that the club is not at the place that it should be, but I'm here to help the team and to bring what I can to achieve our goal."

Following the expiration of his contract in December, Lingard began exploring his options, and that search appears to be nearing a conclusion. While he has held talks with several clubs in England, the Daily Mail reports that another overseas adventure now looks the most likely outcome. Specifically, Lingard is said to be in advanced discussions with Serie A sides, opening the door to a potential move to Italy.

Jacob Devaney is a son of football, one of those young players born where they were simply because of where their father was playing the game at the time. The Manchester United Under-21s captain is a Yorkshireman by dint of his father, former Birmingham City and Coventry City youth player Martin Devaney, playing for Barnsley in 2007. Now 18, Devaney joined United when he was six years of age.

The France international has mostly been a key player for Barca down the years, but it seems the club are now less sure about keeping him. According to Fichajes, Kounde could be available for around 80m this summer, with Premier League clubs on alert due to his versatility as one of his most appealing attributes. Kounde can play both centre-back and right-back to a high standard, and that could make him a useful addition for the likes of Man United and Liverpool.

Arsenal will not sell Eberechi Eze in the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider . Eze joined Arsenal from London and Premier League rivals Crystal Palace only in the summer of 2026, and the Gunners have no plans to offload the attacker.
