Barcelona still waiting for official offer after verbal agreement for transfer of 22-year-old star
Barcelona are currently in a waiting phase regarding Ansu Fati's loan move to AS Monaco, according to a report from Mundo Deportivo.
While all parties, including the player, Barcelona, and the Ligue 1 club, are in complete agreement on the future of the 22-year-old forward, the deal has not yet been formalised in writing.

Despite a verbal agreement being in place, Monaco have yet to send an official written proposal detailing the terms of the loan. Until that arrives, Barcelona are taking a cautious but patient approach.
The Catalan club want everything that has been verbally settled to be fully reflected in a formal offer, including the structure of the loan and the details of a purchase option.
Everything seems to be on track
This potential loan move is considered crucial for Ansu's career. After a difficult stint, the young forward is looking for a more suitable environment to rediscover his best form.

Monaco seem aligned with that goal, and Ansu himself reportedly sees the move favourably, especially because the French club are willing to include a purchase option.

That is a key difference from his Brighton spell, where the Premier League club had no option to buy and therefore little long-term investment in his development.
Barcelona are dealing with caution
From Barcelona's perspective, including a future financial benefit is part of the plan.
This means should Monaco sign Ansu permanently and later sell him, Barça intend to retain a percentage of a future transfer fee, ensuring they remain involved in the player's career trajectory even if he doesn't return to Camp Nou.
In essence, the Blaugrana are waiting for the final paperwork before making the move official. The feeling within the club is optimistic, especially with Monaco offering a more stable and tactically suited environment than Ansu experienced in England.

Facundo Medina prefers a move to Marseille over Bayer Leverkusen
According to L'Équipe, Facundo Medina (26) prefers a potential move to Marseille this summer over other clubs interested in his services, including Bayer Leverkusen. The Lens centre back's current contract expires in 2028, but is expected to leave the Ligue 1 club should a suitable offer arrive this summer. Les Sang et Or value the Argentine international at €25m. The Artois club are yet to receive a formal offer for the 26-year-old. However, several clubs are interested in recruiting Medina, who has given his priority to Roberto De Zerbi's side in the hopes of becoming an OM player before the summer is over. Advertisement Medina has discussed the prospect of playing for Les Phocéens with his international teammate Leonardo Balerdi (26). Marseille's interest in the centre-back is mutual, yet a potential move is not set to be completed before the beginning of July for financial and administrative reasons. GFFN | Liam Wraith

😳 The reasons behind the split between Hansi Flick and Ter Stegen
The relationship between Marc-André ter Stegen and Hansi Flick had already been tense since their time together on the German national team, when the coach opted for Manuel Neuer as the starter. However, the situation has recently worsened after the goalkeeper's return from injury. Ter Stegen has publicly and privately expressed his desire to be a starter, something that has not been well received by Flick. The goalkeeper's interview before the match against Inter, in which he stated he was recovered and ready to play, was interpreted by the coach as undue pressure to force his inclusion in the starting lineup. In this context, FC Barcelona no longer counts on Ter Stegen for three fundamental reasons. In sports terms, the technical staff does not fully trust his performance after the injury and an evident decline in level. Economically, his departure would free up a significant part of the salary mass. And internally, his attitude generates tension in the locker room, something that the new technical staff is not willing to tolerate. Advertisement Everything points to the fact that Ter Stegen's future at the club is more uncertain than ever. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

How to watch Andorra vs England FOR FREE: TV channel and live stream for World Cup qualifier today
Mismatch: There are currently 169 places between Andorra and England in the latest FIFA world rankings (ES Composite) England continue their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with a match against minnows Andorra this evening. Saturday's Group K game is being played at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona, home of LaLiga side Espanyol, with no venues available in Andorra after the recent Games of the Small States of Europe. Advertisement England are overwhelming favourites to make it three wins from three on the road to the USA, Mexico and Canada next summer, having begun the Thomas Tuchel era with routine wins over Albania and Latvia at Wembley back in March. They will be expected to run up a handsome score in a mismatch against lowly Andorra, who are ranked down at No173 in the world by FIFA, having worked hard during a recent training camp in Girona where they tried to mimic the sweltering conditions they would face at the World Cup. Tuchel has vowed to pick a strong team against Andorra, who have won only four World Cup qualifiers since 2000 and only 13 games in total after first being recognised by FIFA in 1996, with victory over fellow minnows San Marino last year their only triumph since 2023. England have won all six previous meetings against Andorra dating back to 2006, scoring 25 goals in the process and conceding none. Advertisement The Three Lions are also due to face Senegal in a friendly at the City Ground in Nottingham on Tuesday night, with Andorra then visiting Wembley in September before the toughest game of the group on paper away against Serbia in Belgrade. How to watch Andorra vs England TV channel: In the UK, Andorra vs England is being shown live and free-to-air on ITV1, with coverage beginning at 4:15pm BST ahead of a 5pm kick-off in Barcelona. Live stream: You can also watch the game live online via the ITVX app, which is free with a sign-up.
