Barcelona could sell star attacker for €80-90 million
Barcelona could sell star attacker for €80-90 million The brass at La Liga giants Barcelona could open to the sale of an integral member of the club's frontline, in the case of a sufficient offer arriving. That's according to Catalunya Radio, who point towards Raphinha as the player in question. Advertisement Wide-man Raphinha is for his part of course in the midst of nothing short of a spectacular individual season to date. Looking like a player reborn in the free-flowing system employed by Hansi Flick, the Brazilian has established himself as one of the standout performers in all of world football. All told, across 45 appearances in all competitions this season, Raphinha has notched a whopping 50 direct goal contributions. And yet, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, the former Leeds United man could nevertheless be made available for transfer, at the right price. As per the aforementioned Cat Radio, during the latest round of contract negotiations between the parties, Raphinha's representatives 'requested higher amounts than those offered by the club'. Advertisement It is in turn concluded that: 'Deco has raised the possibility of a transfer to a club that would pay Raphinha what he would like as long as Barça earns between €80 and 90 million.'

FC Barcelona's Flick Wants Revolutionary Development For First Team
FC Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has asked the club to build a residence for the first team ... More according to Catalunya Radio, which cited anonymous sources. FC Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has asked the club to build a residence for the first team according to Catalunya Radio, which cited anonymous sources. The German has revolutionised the Catalans off the pitch after suffering a trophyless season last term under his fired predecessor Xavi Hernandez. Barca currently leads La Liga by three points, and is through to the Copa del Rey final where it will face a team it already beat to lift the Spanish Super Cup in bitter rival Real Madrid on April 26. Furthermore, Flick's men have advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals and have a realistic chance of getting to a first semifinal since 2019 providing they can see off Borussia Dortmund over two legs from next week onwards. It's not just the results that speak for themselves, however, and instead the way Flick has a previously clunky engine functioning in prime form on his watch. Barca is widely-believed to play the most visually attractive soccer in Europe at the moment, and regularly racks up more than four goals per outing while the players are clearly enjoying themselves. Flick is though to be getting the best out of charges because of the meticulous way he studied the club, and especially La Masia, ahead of taking over the reins from Xavi. Wishing to head a 'medium-to-long term' project, Flick has requested that a sort of residence is built at the club's Joan Gamper CT which is an idea that has been approved by the board according to Catalunya Radio. The two-or-three storey building is something that rival outfits such as Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid already boast, the men's first team would use the facility the most to stay over when needed instead of having to rely on hotels when staying overnight is needed. At this moment the project doesn't have any deadlines or start dates to get underway. Yet even if Flick falls short of landing a first treble for Barca since 2015, he's almost certain to continue in his role in 2025/2026. Flick's contract also expires on June 30 of the latter year, i.e. at the end of the next campaign, but there has been reported interest about getting his terms extended.

Getafe President accused of lying after stoking anti-Catalan sentiment
Getafe President Angel Torres raised eyebrows this week, when he made comments about the treatment received in Girona, claiming he was insulted for being Spanish. Getafe came out victorious at Montilivi last Friday beating Girona 2-1. The incidents were aggravated when the Press Officer at Getafe threw a water bottle at fans during the game, something that Torres expressed sympathy for. 'They spent the whole game insulting him. The boy, making a mistake, because it was a mistake and he is sorry, threw an empty water bottle and it didn't hit them because he was thirty meters away. But they told the police and they fined him €3k. That's unfair,' he explained to Relevo. He continued on to claim that he was insulted due to anti-Spanish sentiment in the stands. 'Me, honestly I have a lot of patience. In the boxes I am an bar of ice, I don't move, I don't mess with anyone, but I can tell anecdotes, the one from the last game. In Girona we had all the problems with everyone. There was a person who I went to shake hands with to wish him luck and he told me that he didn't greet Spaniards. Then other things happened, but what this guy did to me is more serious.' According to the same outlet, this raised eyebrows across La Liga, with Girona have stood out for their warm treatment of other directors and presidents. Their sources in Girona say that this was not the case, and that while there was one person who did not shake hands with Torres, they were not part of the club, and at no point did any verbal exchange occur. A story that is corroborated almost word for word by Catalunya Radio. They go on to add that the person in question had grown tired of the provocations from the Getafe players and staff, who on various occasions pointed to the Spanish flag. Their information is that while they did ignore a handshake from Torres, the conversation related by Torres is 'an invention'. Undoubtedly Girona is one of the places in Catalonia where pro-independence support has been strongest recent years. By the same token, elements of centralist media in Spain have gone out of their way to stoke anti-Catalan sentiment, painting a picture of the region that has little to do with reality.
