Barcelona not interested in Man United forward despite redemption in La Liga this season

Barcelona not interested in Man United forward despite redemption in La Liga this season – report Barcelona's desire to sign a new attacker has been well-documented so far, with the club particularly keen on the services of two Premier League forwards. The two players in question are Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford. While Diaz was always thought to be expensive, Man United have now slapped a €40 million price tag on Rashford as well. Advertisement Whether or not this will prompt Barcelona to shift their attention to another alternative in the market remains to be seen. But one player they are definitely not targeting is Antony. Barcelona not interested in Antony A recent report from Diario SPORT has offered an update on the future of two Manchester United forwards in Rashford and Antony. The report reiterates that Man United have indeed put a high price on Rashford. But it has also revealed that Man United are seeking just €35 million for Antony Antony has found his calling in La Liga (Photo by) This is quite a reasonable sum for a player who has redeemed himself in La Liga. Indeed, the Brazilian, after a poor spell at Man United, joined Real Betis on loan last summer. Advertisement He hasn't had to look back since, emerging as one of Real Betis' key difference-makers in the attack this season, with a tally of nine goals and five assists for Los Beticos. However, the report clarifies that Barcelona are not interested in the services of Antony despite his redeeming form in La Liga this season. It appears the Catalans are more interested in signing Rashford, a player Hansi Flick considers more versatile and suited to Barcelona's game. This is despite the fact that valuations do seem more attractive for Antony, who is younger and has already proven himself in La Liga. But as mentioned earlier, Barça are focusing on experience and tactical flexibility, more than anything else.

Football transfer rumours: Manchester United to replace Fernandes with Gonçalves?

The Rumour Mill is back in action, filtering absolutely nothing from the gossipmongers and pumping it straight into your eyes. To heighten the excitement, there is not one but two transfer windows this summer. You lucky lot. Matheus Cunha's £62.5m move from Wolves has ignited what is to be a busy off-season for Ruben Amorim as he attempts to turn the Manchester United behemoth around. It could become somewhat more complicated if Bruno Fernandes decides he wants to test himself in jump ship to the Saudi Premier League with Al-Hilal. If that does become the case, one bit of tittle-tattle doing the rounds is that Amorim will return to his former employers to sign Pedro Gonçalves, who once had a gloriously forgettable spell at Wolves. Advertisement Related: Manchester United confirm agreement to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves In a summer where plenty are leaving Bayer Leverkusen, they look set to make one signing. Brentford and the Bundesliga club have agreed a deal for the goalkeeper Mark Flekken. There has been plenty of discussion to find a fee that is acceptable for both sides but every is finally happy with the outcome. It means Brentford need a new No 1 and they have Caoimhin Kelleher with an £18m already in place for the Republic of Ireland international. Inside the Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen Venn diagram is a deal for Florian Wirtz. The Premier League champions have made a couple of offers for the German midfielder without success. Erik ten Hag would like any deal to include Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah in order to progress things. Another Liverpool person of interest is Milos Kerkez but they are yet to make contact with Bournemouth over the left-back. Chelsea are closing in on Liam Delap but do not want to stop there when it comes to signing the best of young English talent. The Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite is of increasing interest to Enzo Maresca and the Blues recruitment machine after impressing at Goodison Park. Advertisement David Moyes will not be keen on losing Branthwaite as he is targeting a period of squad strengthening. One potential target is Brighton's Matt O'Riley who enjoyed and indifferent first season on the south coast under Fabian Hürzeler, who could be open to letting him go. It should be a fun couple of months in the free transfer market and La Liga sides are always pretty savvy when it comes to not spending cash. Barcelona are supposedly having a natter with Thomas Partey and his representatives about a move to Catalonia. Sunderland might be back in the Premier League but a few of their stars are being linked with moves away. Jobe Bellingham is being tracked by Eintracht Frankfurt and Dan Neil is being linked with a £15m move to Roma. Down in the Championship, centre-backs are in demand. The Bournemouth defender Chris Mepham, who spent the season on loan at Sunderland, is wanted by Sheffield United, while Derby are keen on Wolves' Craig Dawson. Wrexham are plotting a triple threat of deals. Tottenham's Ben Davies, Leicester's Danny Ward and Brentford's Myles Peart-Harris are all on the list of targets.

Deco on Barca's future, challenging Real and Yamal

Barcelona sporting director Deco denies the club have financial problems and says they do not need to sell players - despite La Liga's restrictive financial controls. Deco, 47, has overseen a revival of Barcelona since his appointment in 2023, culminating in a domestic treble while also reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League. Advertisement The Catalans have renewed the contracts of superstar teenager Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and manager Hansi Flick, while they were cleared by Spain's National Sports Council (CSD) to register midfielder Dani Olmo amid a dispute with La Liga. When asked whether the world should see Barcelona as a well-run club in 2025, Deco told BBC Sport: "Barcelona is my club, I love Barcelona. I saw what happened from the outside and always thought I could help put Barca at the same high level. "I knew it would be difficult when I joined with the financial rules - it is not a financial problem, but the financial fair play rules in Spain are more difficult than the Premier League and in other countries. "It is a problem for a lot of clubs, you just hear about Barca because we are a big club. You need to work with it, see how you can improve the team and the combination of La Masia [academy] players and experienced players has been important." Advertisement The former Portugal midfielder, who played for the Catalans - as well as Chelsea and Porto - stresses Barcelona are happy working with La Liga but have faith the rules will continue to improve. Even if they do not, Barcelona are excited to have "one of the biggest contracts in history" with Nike, and the newly renovated 100,000-seater Nou Camp will be the biggest stadium in Europe and improve revenues. He insists Barcelona will "not sell our best players", adding the team's recent success means they can "grow with many of the same players". But he says they are in looking for "two, three or four signings", without needing to enter the market "like crazy" thanks to the stability at the core of the team. When asked if it includes the option of signing Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, thought to be available for £40m, or Liverpool's Luis Diaz, he added: "We have been focusing on renewing contracts, after that, we'll discuss players to come. Advertisement "Of course, these two players, like you mentioned, they are good but have contracts in their clubs, so we won't speak because it's not fair. But when you decide to go to the market, for sure, we find some names. In my opinion, we don't need to bring many players." He added: "When I speak with the agents of the players, everyone wants to come or stay. So this is important. The image of the club is still good. We are proud because Barcelona is still such a big club, and the way we are playing football makes players want to come." Deco is aware of the constant threat of Real Madrid, who will look to improve under new head coach Xabi Alonso. They have also agreed deals for right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will leave Liverpool, and Bournemouth centre-back Dean Huijsen. Benfica left-back Alvaro Carreras is understood to be next on the club's shortlist. Advertisement "Next season is not going to be easy, because I know that first Real Madrid has a lot of top players," he said. "In my opinion they have a big team. They have a lot of fantastic players. Of course they want to improve. "It's very important to have a strong Madrid. It's very important to have strong players, top players, players that the people want to see. I think Madrid has these kinds of players, like us. "Now it's important to keep the top players in La Liga. So for us it's important that Madrid are strong, that Atletico is strong, and we need to be there." 'Yamal can make history like Messi' Yamal has scored 18 goals and provided 25 assists in 55 matches across all club competitions this season [Getty Images] Barcelona have already signed perhaps their most important deal of the summer, keeping 17-year-old Spanish sensation Yamal at the club on a new six-year deal until 2031. Advertisement Yamal made his debut at 15 and has already made 106 appearances for the club. He was part of Spain's European Championship-winning team, is the reigning Golden Boy and Kopa winner - awards given to the best young player in the world - and was heavily involved in Barcelona's four El Clasico wins against Madrid this season. All this success has led him to be compared to Barcelona legend Lionel Messi, widely regarded as among the world's greatest ever players. Deco continued: "Lamine is Lamine. Leo is Leo. Leo was the best player in the history of this club, for me, the best player in history. "Everyone becomes crazy when they see Lamine playing football, you would pay to go watch him in the stadium, he's special and he wanted to stay because he believes in the project. He deserves an improved salary. Advertisement "He's going to be one of the best players in the world. We need to respect him as a player, but not forget he is 17 years old." Deco added: "It's not easy to compare, but Lamine, in terms of quality, can make history like Leo. But of course, to make history, he needs to have a good team behind him." Barcelona managed Messi mania and would know how to give Yamal the degree of protection he needs to shine. "We try to not let him do everything, because, you know, sometimes the sponsors, and everyone wants his shirt or time," Deco continued. "Sometimes we can't control everything, but people see his magic, on and off the pitch. "They want to have a piece of him and we need to help him manage that."
