Barcelona star sends farewell message to club's fans
The player in question? Pau Víctor.
Frontman Víctor is for his part of course fresh off seeing his departure from Barcelona made official.
Following a quickfire round of talks with Portuguese outfit SC Braga, the Camp Nou brass sanctioned a deal for the 23-year-old to depart on a permanent basis this weekend.
As much brings to an end what was a short-lived stint for Víctor on Barcelona's books, spread between the club's reserve outfit, and first-team.
Evidently, though, across this time, the Blaugrana made a deep impact on the versatile attacker from a personal standpoint.
This comes with Víctor having taken to his official social media accounts, to bid a heartfelt farewell to the Spanish champions:
'Today marks the end of a chapter that has shaped my life. A chapter that has been much more than football: it has been a dream come true. First with Barça Atlètic, then with the first team… but always with the same feeling: that of a kid who grew up dreaming of wearing this shirt. Defending this badge has been an immense honor, both at the Johan and at Montjuïc, always with the pride of being part of a unique club. Because Barça is not just a club. It's a feeling that fills you, transforms you, and makes you better. Thank you to all the coaches, teammates, club staff, and fans who have accompanied me on this journey. I take with me friendships, values, lessons, and memories that I'll carry with me forever. Now I head toward new challenges, with my head held high and my heart full. With the same passion, the same commitment, and the eternal pride of having defended these colors, and a dream lived that will accompany me wherever I go. With all my gratitude, Forever a Culer.'

Chelsea striker Marc Guiu joins promoted Sunderland on loan
SUNDERLAND, England (AP) — Newly promoted Sunderland signed 19-year-old striker Marc Guiu on a season-long loan from Chelsea on Wednesday ahead of the new Premier League campaign. Guiu made 16 appearances for Enzo Maresca's team last season and scored six goals — all in the UEFA Conference League campaign. Chelsea won the third-tier competition. Guiu became the second-youngest player (18 years, 350 days old) to score a hat trick for Chelsea. That feat came in a 5-1 victory over Shamrock Rovers. The Spaniard also played twice in Chelsea's run to the Club World Cup title. 'I see myself as a powerful striker, who can make a difference on and off the ball, and I pride myself on being a natural goalscorer,' he said in Sunderland's announcement. Guiu rose through Barcelona's youth academy and made seven appearances for the Catalan club before joining Chelsea in 2024. Sunderland hosts West Ham at the Stadium of Light on Aug. 16 in its season opener. ___ AP soccer:

Just in – Barcelona take away captaincy from Marc-Andre ter Stegen
In a huge development, Catalunya Radio is reporting that Barcelona are stripping Marc-Andre ter Stegen of the club captaincy amid their ongoing standoff. As per the report, manager Hansi Flick will remove Ter Stegen from the captaincy group at the request of the club. Barcelona consider that with disciplinary proceedings open against him, the German goalkeeper can no longer form part of the team's leadership. This decision comes after Ter Stegen refused to authorise the club to submit his medical information to La Liga. The 33-year-old veteran's decision sparked great anger at the club, prompting them to open a disciplinary case against him. Now, the La Liga champions have therefore decided to withdraw his captaincy, viewing the open disciplinary file as incompatible with holding a leadership role. The update has now been confirmed by Mundo Deportivo journalist Fernando Polo as well. No longer captain. (Photo by) This development comes even as Ter Stegen remains firm in his refusal to sign the medical report. There has been no direct talk between the player and the club as he has delegated all communication with the Catalans to his representative. Meanwhile, Barcelona's legal department is working to identify a way to send the necessary medical information to La Liga without the player's consent. The club's aim is to obtain a long-term injury status in order to free up salary space for registering new players. However, even if the Blaugrana do manage to send the documents, La Liga's Medical Commission will not assess Ter Stegen's case without his formal consent. The players' union (AFE) has reached out to the goalkeeper to offer support during this situation. Several Barcelona players had previously come out in support of Ter Stegen continuing as captain. So, it will certainly be interesting to see how the locker room reacts to this huge move by the club.
