Barcelona’s players will embark on their latest league adventure on the Iberian Peninsula tonight, when they face Elche. It was supposed to be against Athletic Bilbao at Camp Nou, but La Liga accepted that the Catalans had a large number of players involved in the latter stages of the World Cup, so the match was rescheduled for August 27. In any case, Hansi Flick has taken a serious approach from the outset, bringing the players who are in the best condition while leaving out those whose futures remain uncertain. Above all, that applies to full-back Alejandro Balde, who has attracted interest from several clubs, most notably Manchester United, Aston Villa and Benfica.🚨🗣️ 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: After loosing to Hull City, Manchester united have sent a €40m bid to Barcelona for Spanish left back Alejandro Balde as revealed by David Ornstein.🗣️ David Ornstein: “Balde has decided to leave Barcelona and his agent Jorge Mendes has been in… pic.twitter.com/mGNDuft9bm— FullTime Report (@FullTimeX_) A..

Manchester City really wanted Enzo Maresca as the new coach. Their conversations while Pep Guardiola was still on the bench was labelled as ‘tapping’ and the Citizens even had to pay compensation to get the Italian.
