Barcelona's planned Camp Nou return in August delayed
Barcelona's match against Como in the Joan Gamper Trophy will be the first match set to be held at the new Camp Nou.
'This decision is due to the fact that the necessary work to comply with the requirements of the Ordinance Regulating Municipal Intervention Procedures in Construction Works has made it impossible to complete the procedures required for the granting of the initial licence,' the club said in a statement.
'Specifically, due to the scale of the work carried out, it has not been possible to meet all the conditions laid out by the regulations governing this licence, despite the club's intention to reopen the redeveloped stadium sector by sector.
'The club is liaising closely with Barcelona City Council and the relevant authorities to make progress on the different requirements and will inform its members and fans of any new developments regarding the return date. This delay does not affect the planned schedule for the repayment of the Espai Barca debt,' the club's statement concluded.

Al Nassr Close To Agreeing Deal For Chelsea Forward Joao Felix: Report
Al-Nassr are close to agreeing to a deal to sign Chelsea forward Joao Felix. The Portuguese is expected to join the Saudi club with a 44 million pound deal, according to a report. It is reported that Saudi Pro League giants are in touch with Felix's representatives and could reach an agreement in the next 24 to 48 hours. Felix's former club Benfica were previously in talks to re-sign the 25-year-old forward, but Al-Nassr have now made their move for Felix as they go all out to try and win the Saudi Pro League, according to a Sky Sports report. Should Felix depart, that would open the door for Chelsea to move for RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons. If a move is completed on time, Felix could join Ronaldo and the rest of the Al-Nassr squad for a friendly against Toulouse on Wednesday at the Untersberg-Arena in Grodig. The Portuguese star first joined Chelsea on loan during the winter transfer window of the 2022/23 season. During his time with the club, he made an impact by scoring four goals in 20 appearances which saw him return to the club. Chelsea then signed the Portugal international on a permanent deal from Atletico Madrid in a contract worth 46.3 million pounds, returning to Stamford Bridge after a promising loan stint. Felix began his professional journey at Benfica, where his impressive performances caught the eye of Atletico Madrid. In the summer of 2019, he made a high-profile move to Atletico Madrid, setting a record transfer fee for both clubs involved. His tenure at Atletico has been marked by notable successes, including winning the La Liga title. On the international stage, Felix has earned 45 caps for Portugal since his debut in 2019. Meanwhile, Chelsea are in advanced talks with Ajax over a deal for centre-back Jorrel Hato and have also held discussions over the signing of Leipzig's Simons.

Debutants Star As Barcelona Ease To 3-1 Win Over Vissel Kobe In Pre-Season
How Barcelona Beat Vissel Kobe? Joan Garcia, the new goalkeeper from Catalonia, featured in the first half and impressed with several key saves. Although he conceded a goal to Miyashiro just before halftime, Garcia's sharp reflexes kept Barcelona level for most of the opening period. He was unlucky on the goal, having parried the initial shot only for the rebound to be slotted home. Barça took 34 minutes to open their preseason account in a scrappy manner. Ferran Torres delivered a corner, and after Gavi's attempt was blocked, Eric García managed to get a toe on the ball, putting Barça ahead. Fielding a near full-strength starting XI, Barça dominated the game from the start against the J-League leaders, with Raphinha coming close a few times. Vissel Kobe mainly relied on counter-attacks and unexpectedly equalised just before half-time. Debutant goalkeeper Joan García made a brilliant one-on-one save, but couldn't stop Kobe's follow-up, resulting in Miyashiro ensuring the teams went level at the break. In the second half, Rashford, Bardghji, and La Masia product Jofre Torrents were introduced. Rashford and Jofre combined well on the left flank, displaying pace and creativity. It was Roony Bardghji who broke the deadlock in the 77th minute, curling a precise shot into the net after a well-constructed move involving Rashford and Lewandowski. Just two minutes later, Rashford and Jofre were replaced by Gerard Martín and debutant Pedro Fernandez 'Dro'. The young forward quickly made an impact, sealing the win with a well-struck volley from the edge of the box in the final minutes.

Vissel Kobe vs Barcelona: Roony Bardghji's stunning debut goal powers Barca to win
FC Barcelona's summer signing, Roony Bardghji, made an unforgettable debut at Noevir Stadium Kobe, scoring a significant goal in a 3-1 victory over Vissel Kobe. The 19-year-old Swedish winger showcased his immense potential in his first game for the team. Notably, Roony Bardghji and Marcus Rashford made their debuts for Barcelona in the game against Vissel Kobe. Entering the match in the second half, Bardghji wasted no time making an impact. His pace, confidence, and direct approach immediately stood out as he powered Barcelona's attack. The young winger's ability to take on defenders and create chances was evident from the moment he stepped onto the pitch. Bardghji's early moments were marked by two close attempts. His first effort, a powerful strike from just outside the penalty area, was thwarted by a Vissel Kobe defender. Moments later, a well-timed pass from teammate Marcus Rashford set him up inside the box, but luck wasn't on his side as the shot missed the mark. The defining moment of Roony Bardghji's debut came when Marcus Rashford delivered a precise pass to Robert Lewandowski, who cleverly navigated behind Vissel Kobe's defense. The veteran Polish striker, showcasing his experience, laid the ball off perfectly for Bardghji on the edge of the box. With remarkable composure for a 19-year-old, Bardghji positioned himself expertly and slotted the ball into the bottom-right corner past goalkeeper Arai. The goal secured a 2-1 lead for Barcelona in the 77th minute. At just 19, Roony Bardghji has already demonstrated that he is ready to compete at the highest level. His debut performance was a blend of energy, skill, and goal-scoring instinctqualities that align perfectly with Barcelona's attacking philosophy. The Swedish forward's arrival comes at a time when Barcelona is looking to rebuild the roster with youthful energy into their squad. Bardghji's ability to perform against a competitive side like Vissel Kobe suggests he could be a key player for the team. His debut goal not only secured the win but also served as a statement of intent. If he continues to display the same talent, Bardghji could become a regular feature in the starting lineup.
