Barcelona make contact over deal for Ryan Roberto
That's according to , citing Globo, who highlight Ryan Roberto as the player in question.
Roberto, for his part, is a 17-year-old winger, who spent this past season making a name for himself as a potential star in the making.
Across 33 appearances for Flamengo's U17 side, the Brazil youth international racked up 20 goals, and 14 assists.
Such exploits are expected to culminate in a first-team call for Roberto before long.
With such excellence at such a young age, though, comes inevitable interest from across the water.
As confirmed by MD, both Ajax and the aforementioned Barcelona have already gone as far as to touch base with Flamengo, regarding a potential deal for Roberto:
'According to Globo, FC Barcelona and Ajax have already inquired about a player whose position fits what the Barça sporting management is looking for in the market.'

Official: Real Madrid star promoted to first-team
A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid has this week seen his efforts from last season officially recognised by the club. The player in question? Raúl Asencio. Stopper Asencio is for his part of course fresh off a breakout campaign in Spain's capital. Amid a personnel crisis at the heart of Real Madrid's backline, the 22-year-old was afforded a sudden opportunity at senior level. And this is a chance which Asencio went on to take full advantage of, courtesy of a number of fine performances. Nevertheless, as recently as this past weekend, the Spaniard remained registered with Real's Castilla outfit. But as alluded to above, on Monday, Asencio's emergence has been aptly recognised by those behind the scenes at the Santiago Bernabéu. As showcased below, the defender has been officially promoted to Xabi Alonso's squad, registered as a first-team player on Real Madrid's website. Conor Laird – GSFN

Reinier Jesus: Real Madrid's forgotten €30m Brazilian wonderkid now training with the reserves
This is an updated version of an article first published in September 2024. In December 2019, Reinier Jesus was asked to attend a meeting with his family and representatives at the hotel South American champions Flamengo were using as their base for the old Club World Cup in Qatar. The then 17-year-old Brazilian playmaker couldn't hide his excitement when he was told Real Madrid were strongly interested in signing him. Advertisement Reinier had paved the way for an exit after an affordable release clause was inserted into his latest contract with Flamengo — €30million ($33m; £25m at current exchange rates), which would rise to €35m in July 2020 and €70m in January 2021 if he stayed with the Rio de Janeiro club that long. But the plan had been to move to a smaller European team than Madrid initially, with Borussia Dortmund of Germany, Dutch side Ajax and Everton all in a good position to sign him. Madrid blew those plans out of the water. They beat Manchester City to Reinier's signature in 2020 after his father went to visit the Premier League club's facilities. Other English sides had shown interest, while there were a few enquiries from Madrid's city rivals Atletico. But Reinier opted for the record European champions, following the route taken by his compatriots Vinicius Junior (a €45m signing from Flamengo announced in 2017) and Rodrygo (€40m from fellow Brazilians Santos in 2018). That seems a long time ago now. Reinier has just returned from a fourth unsuccessful loan, this time at second division side Granada, and this week The Athletic reported he is to train with the reserve team Real Madrid Castilla. Five years on from his signing, he is yet to make a single appearance for the first team and his future looks uncertain. This is the story of Madrid's forgotten Brazilian wonderkid — and what might come next. After Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo's arrivals, Reinier's signing part of a clear strategy from Madrid to attract the best possible young talent — particularly from Brazil — after president Florentino Perez's frustration at missing out on Neymar to Barcelona in 2013. That policy was led by Juni Calafat, a Spanish-Brazilian executive at Madrid who is now their chief scout. After Calafat's trusted staff in Brazil singled out Reinier as someone worth watching, he won over the player's family with visits there to forge a good relationship. The allure of playing for Madrid did the rest. Reinier had a few days off between that pre-Christmas Club World Cup and South America's Under-23 Pre-Olympic tournament, staged in Colombia in the January and February. That was when he received a call from his father telling him the deal with Madrid had been agreed. They would pay Reinier's €30m release clause, with 80 per cent of the money going to Flamengo, 10 per cent to the family and the remaining 10 per cent to the player's agent. Reinier, and his family, immediately started studying Spanish. He would join Castilla for the remainder of that 2019-20 season with a further six years on his deal. The Covid-19 pandemic, which shut down the world in the spring of 2020, affected Reinier's start at Madrid. Reinier scored two goals and provided an assist in three appearances for Castilla, managed then and now by legendary former Madrid striker Raul, before the Segunda season was paused in March due to the pandemic, eventually resuming three months later. Advertisement Reinier spent his time during lockdown training at home and in the May then-coach Zinedine Zidane called him up to join first-team training, where it became clear that he did not have a place in the senior squad but was already too good for Castilla. He left on a two-year loan to Dortmund that summer, a deal including an option to buy, after multiple clubs showed interest in him — Madrid only agreed to that length as they felt it would encourage the Germans to bid for Reinier. Dortmund would also pay a €5m loan fee. But his spell in the Bundesliga did not go to plan. Reinier considered cutting short the loan in January 2021 due to a lack of game time and, despite seeing that first season out, he only had 340 minutes of action in 19 appearances. Dortmund approached Madrid about the possibility of signing him permanently later that year, but they rejected the offer. He then won a gold medal with Brazil at the delayed Tokyo Olympics that August, but played just 405 minutes in 20 games in year two with Dortmund. Madrid soon realised clubs were far more likely to give opportunities to players who had joined them permanently rather than on loan. Since then, they have often preferred to sell their young players while putting affordable buy-back clauses and a first right of refusal into their deals. For Reinier, that policy came too late. He tried to get his career back on track with a loan to La Liga newcomers Girona in the 2022-23 season, but injuries hampered his development. Despite showing some promising signs, he scored just twice and provided one assist in 620 minutes of action across 18 games. In the summer of 2023, Madrid again looked for a loan club for Reinier who were willing to cover a large part of the player's salary of around €3m net per year. When that did not materialise, the player had limited options. He joined Frosinone in Serie A on deadline day, scoring three goals and providing two assists in 23 appearances for a side eventually relegated. Advertisement Last summer was not easy either. Reinier contacted Madrid in July to find out when he was due to start pre-season and received a reply on the 15th of that month. Days later, he found out he would be considered a player for Castilla once more rather than the first team this season when a specialist from Raul's staff — the legendary Madrid striker was then coaching the side — wrote to him asking him if he needed a training plan. The Brazilian said he had already been working with a personal trainer in his home country. Raul did everything to try and keep him for the second team but Reinier wanted to progress elsewhere. There were few offers for the playmaker, given his performances and Madrid's request for any loan club to cover a large chunk of his salary. Norwich City were in a good position to sign him, but the player wanted to wait in case he was able to stay in Spain. Granada emerged as late contenders for Reinier's signature and welcomed him as a 'Rei' or king, with their announcement post showing him sitting on a throne with a lion next to him in the city's iconic Alhambra palace. But he scored just once and provided four assists in 24 appearances in the Spanish second tier. He was largely left out in the second half of the season as Granada went through three different managers — Guille Abascal, Fran Escriba and Pacheta — and narrowly missed out on the promotion play-offs. Sources close to Reinier say the experience made him 'more experienced and stronger', even if they admit he could have scored more and that the team's fight for promotion complicated things. Reinier has been upset with his constantly changing situation and has not felt supported by Madrid, who have barely been in contact with him during these deals. He still believes in his quality but has known for some time that a future at Madrid is no longer viable. Madrid and Castilla were both contacted for comment. The Brazilian's future does not appear any clearer than a year ago — particularly he is now training with the reserves — although talks are expected to take place this month between the club and the player's side. Those close to him say his priority is now to return to his homeland, with his old club Flamengo and Atletico Mineiro both interested in signing him and the latter in the best position to do so. It would be a sorry end to Reinier's time in the Spanish capital if he returned to Brazil without making a senior appearance. Sadly for Reinier, it has been this way for a while.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola declares sabbatical, rules out Barcelona return
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has declared that he will not be taking a new job immediately after his spell at the Etihad comes to an end. Guardiola has now been in charge for nine years in the North of England, but acknowledged that he was in need of a break. Guardiola took the job in 2016, and will complete a decade in the job at the end of the coming season. The 54-year-old has won six Premier Leagues, a success rate of 67%, and has managed 533 games, and has two years remaining on his deal. Speaking to GQ Hype, as quoted by MD, Guardiola said the decision to take a sabbatical thereafter was taken. 'I know that after this stage with City I'm going to stop, that's for sure, it's decided, more than decided. I'm going to leave after this stage with City, because I need to stop and focus on myself, on my body.' Guardiola has previously taken a sabbatical between his jobs at Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the 2012-13 season. Image via Sport 'I think I knew how to stop at the right moment. The same thing happened to me with my coaching job [at Barça], there came a time when I said enough, enough is enough. I'm going to look for another challenge.' 'Stop comparing Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi' – Guardiola With Lamine Yamal's explosion at such a young age, and little like it having been seen before, his position and circumstances have led to comparisons with the great Lionel Messi. Guardiola believed those comparisons premature. 'I think Lamine Yamal should be allowed to pursue his career. And when he's been playing for fifteen years, we'll decide if he's better or worse. Let him pursue his career. The fact that they compare him to Messi is a big deal. It's like comparing a painter to Van Gogh. They'll say, 'Wow, he's not bad, that's a sign he's good'.' Image via FC Barcelona 'That's 90 goals in one season, over 15 years, nonstop, without injury. That's a big deal. Leave him alone. Leave him alone.' Barcelona return ruled out for Guardiola Guardiola also rejected the idea of returning to Barcelona. While he has always stated that he will not return as manager, there has been some suggestion he could return as president or sporting director, something he also discarded. 'It's over. It's over forever. It was really lovely, but it's over now. No, I'm not cut out for that [to be president].'
