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.

Sesko's deal to take a U-turn? Hojlund announces his plan to stay
Manchester United's striker Rasmus Hojlund has announced his decision to stay at the club despite reports of leaving. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on July 31, 2025, 19:00 IST Manchester United's striker Rasmus Hojlund has announced his decision to stay at the club despite reports of leaving. There were reports suggesting that United could look to sell the Danish striker if a good offer arrives. The Red Devils is also planning to sign a new striker – Benjamin Sesko (internal talks already held). The deal for new striker was dependent on few outgoings which included Rasmus Hojlund as well. But, after the striker's statement, will United still go for Sesko? Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has put an end to recent speculation by confirming his decision to stay at Old Trafford. Reports had suggested the Danish forward could be sold this summer if a lucrative offer came in, especially with United exploring options for a new striker. The Red Devils have already held internal talks over RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, with the potential deal believed to hinge on a few player exits — including Hojlund. However, the 22-year-old's public statement committing his future to United raises questions about the club's next move in the transfer market. 'My clear plan is to stay at Manchester United and be ready to fight for my spot here,' said Rasmus as reported by Fabrizio Romano. With United eager to strengthen their attacking line, it remains to be seen whether they will still push for Sesko despite Hojlund's stance. The club could consider bringing in the Slovenian as competition, or delay the move until next summer.
