Barcelona manager reveals primary area of concern for transfer window
Barcelona are still in need of offloading several players to help balance their books. The club is working to make deals for several players to exit, but Hansi Flick is also trying to bring in reinforcements. The Catalan club has been linked to several players, but the team may only be able to afford strengthening one or two positions, depending on how the exits go. According to reports from SPORT, Flick has named the left wing as the primary position he wants to strengthen. Flick knows the delicate financial situation that Barcelona are in, and he has given his approval of foregoing other positions in exchange for signing a top winger. Which left wingers are Barcelona interested in? Barcelona looked to be ready to make a big splash on Nico Williams, who ultimately signed a massive new contract for Athletic Club. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp The club has since turned their attention to Liverpool's Luis Diaz and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford. Diaz, who has also received offers from Bayern Munich, is unlikely to join Barcelona, simply because Liverpool's asking price is too high for the La Liga club. Rashford is desperate to join Barcelona, but the clubs have yet to strike up a deal for the Englishman. Other clubs have also been considering a move for Rashford. Another potential target for the Catalan club is Xavi Simons. Reports out of SPORT also say that Barcelona have been in contact with Simons' agents, but his release clause could be an issue for Flick's side. Flick will be eager to sign a winger soon, with Barcelona's first preseason fixture coming on July 27.

Report San Siro fails UEFA inspection to be EURO 2023 host venue
It is reported that the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza at San Siro failed the UEFA tests to be a host venue for the upcoming EURO 2032 tournament. According to multiple sources, the initial inspection of the structure found inadequacies and it would not currently be given the all-clear to stage matches for that competition. It is a huge problem for Italy, who are co-hosting the tournament with Turkey, as they are already struggling to find five stadiums that fit the bill. San Siro was one of few firm choices for EURO 2032 The reports state that Inter, Milan, the FIGC, UEFA and Mayor of Milan Beppe Sala were all involved in the encounter where the bad news was passed on. The city of Milan would otherwise be perfect for hosting, as it is one of the main transport hubs in the country. Italy need to give UEFA a list of five venues by October 2026, with work starting at the latest in March 2027. With that in mind, this could represent a boost for Inter and Milan, who continue to maintain a new stadium has to be built in what is effectively the car park of the current San Siro arena, as soon as possible. The problem is that everything risks grinding to a halt after the start of an investigation into Mayor Sala, prompting some to call for all his projects to be stopped until there is further clarity.
