Barcelona sporting director sends clear message to defensive outcast
Barcelona are facing a race against time as they look to not only register the new signings but also get the Camp Nou prepared for September matches. In the midst of all that, the club are facing a financial crunch once again and desperately require fresh sales in order to balance the books and return to the 1:1. Following the departures of Pablo Torre, Pau Victor and Ansu Fati, the next player in line to leave Barcelona this summer is Andreas Christensen. But the Dane, despite being considered a benchwarmer, has appeared hesitant to leave Barcelona. Deco's clear message to Christensen According to Diario SPORT, Barcelona, led by sporting director Deco, has sent a clear message to Christensen: renewal is off the table, and the door is open if he chooses to leave. Deco has already tied down most of the squad to long-term contracts as part of his ongoing renewal project. Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, and even Frenkie de Jong are set for new extensions next week. The only outlier is Christensen, whose deal expires in 2026, with no extension talks planned. Andreas Christensen has no intention to leave (Photo by) Barcelona are reportedly open to selling the Danish international, who is on a relatively high salary and spent much of last season injured. With an overbooking of centre-backs in the squad, Deco is focused on trimming the wage bill and building a younger, more sustainable core. However, the 28-year-old has no intention of walking away. Much like his exit from Chelsea, Christensen is prepared to stay until the end of his contract. Despite interest from Saudi Arabia and the Premier League, he has refused to even engage in negotiations. Convincing the Dane, therefore, will be one of Deco's priorities in the month of August.

La Liga Transfer Round-Up: Girona and Real Sociedad make first moves
A round-up of the latest goings on in the transfer window, as La Liga sides look to strengthen ahead of the new season. Atletico Madrid Despite bringing in Marc Pubill, Marca say that Nahuel Molina is set to remain at the club, with the former potentially operating as a third centre-back in a back three. Thomas Lemar has departed on loan for Girona, while Santiago Mourino has completed a move to Villarreal. Celta Vigo The long-awaited arrival of Bryan Zaragoza from Bayern Munich has been consummated. Zaragoza arrives on loan with a €13m option to buy, which will be made permanent if he plays 75% of their games, and Celta finish 11-13th or higher, with the last detail not clarified further. Image via Celta Vigo Espanyol Midfielder Jose Gragera has moved on loan to Deportivo La Coruna on a loan move with an option to buy, as reported by Marca. The option will become obligatory if Deportivo were to be promoted. Girona Girona have made their first moves of the summer, and not a moment too soon for Michel Sanchez. Miguel Gutierrez is close to leaving the club, but Thomas Lemar has arrived on a loan deal from Atletico Madrid. After a strong season at Mirandes last year, Girona have also loaned in Athletic Club right-back Hugo Rincon. Real Oviedo Released left-back Carlos Pomares has joined Real Zaragoza, and Alberto del Moral has moved on loan to Cordoba. Forward Daniel Paraschiv has also headed out on loan, in his case to newly-promoted Segunda side Cultural Leonesa. Real Sociedad Real Sociedad have announced their first signing of the summer with Olympique Lyon defender Duje Caleta-Car arriving on loan. The deal is worth €500k, but will have an option to buy for €3m next summer.

Lopez was one of several players not used in a friendly against Osasuna, with Alvaro Odriozola, Sheraldo Becker, Hamari Traore and Carlos Fernandez all in the same boat say Diario AS. Paris FC are in talks over a move for Traore after an opening bid.

Real Madrid reject €75 million offer for key midfield star
The one position Real Madrid see to be in need of reinforcement but have not strengthened this summer is the defensive midfield, a department where they have been linked with Angelo Stiller, Rodri, Martin Zubimendi and others. Manager Xabi Alonso sees the pivot position to be one where the squad lacks a natural ball player and a controlling presence. As it stands, Aurelien Tchouameni is the only natural profile in the position and is thus expected to have a big role in the new season. Real Madrid's tactics in the FIFA Club World Cup spoke volumes about the importance of the defensive midfield position in Alonso's plans as Tchouameni served as the focal point in the buildup and effectively a third centre-back. Not for sale As relayed in a recent report by Fichajes, Alonso and Real Madrid see Tchouameni to be untransferable for any price in the current transfer market and will not sanction his departure at any cost. Tchouameni will not be sold. (Photo by) The manager sees the player to be a vital part of his plans and thus does not contemplate a sale in any capacity despite interest arriving from the Premier League – possibly from Arsenal. The report further reports that the offer from England reportedly included a transfer fee of €75 million – a sum that is significant in the current market dynamics. Even that sum, however, was not enough to make the club consider a sale as Real Madrid do not wish to part ways with him this summer. Tchouameni, for his part, is happy at the club and is eager to continue his relationship with Real Madrid for the years to come. He wishes to compete only at the highest level, something he believes he can only do at the best club in the world.
