It appears the signing of Rodrigo has fell through
Barcelona's reluctance to agree a deal that would make the move permanent in the summer, scuppered the deal. A persistent, niggling knee injury and a return of just 4 goals this season from the player, raised the concerns from the Barcelona side, reason they only wanted a loan deal this January and no obligation to make the deal permanent in summer. This Valencia disagreed, since they needed the money to solve their liquidity issues.

All attentions have now been seemingly turned to Tadic, the Serbian Ajax's center forward. Time is running out. Only two days remain to seal the deal. Barca knows that time is of essence now.

Too bad...

The negotiations between Barça and Valencia have broken down regarding Rodrigo. The club will now focus on bringing back Kevin Prince-Boateng, a less complicated operation. [md]

Rubbish

It will turn to a joyous season if Dembele can just have sense.

Rakitic could leave Barca this week - AS

3 years from now Novak Djokovic will become the Lionel Messi of tennis.

He will overtake Federer and have the highest number of Grand Slams.

Barca bid 100 million Euros for Richarlison and Everton rejected it immediately

Although I'm a Barcelona fan, but I hope to see real Madrid and Atletico defeat Man City and Liverpool respectively, It'll be better if a Spanish team (even our biggest rivals) wins the UCL than to see those English teams win it.

Football haven't recovered from the bragging and show off the English Media engaged in last season.

Why is the barca board just reluctant about signing a striker? we are in bad need of one.
And m hearing something like Chelsea's William to barca
How true is this?

So you'll like to rank Djokovic as a second fiddle?

Nope, I think you're the one underscoring the legend.

So Carles Perez has gone on loan to Roma.

"I would've loved for Neymar to come back. I understand the people that are against it. It's normal for everything that has happened with Ney, for how he left and how he left us. It's normal and logical that lots of people don't want him to come back, but thinking about it on a sporting level, Neymar is one of the best in the world for me and he would've increased the team's chances of achieving all the results that we want."


This is what Lionel Messi said in an interview with Sport in September, once the summer transfer window had closed and Barcelona's attempts to bring Neymar back had failed. It was the closing of an attempt at a televised signing, one that was fought firing blanks at a financial tank like Paris Saint-Germain. Leo's words lamented not having by his side the third letter of the attack with which he was European champion for the last time.

And Leo was right. The signing was Neymar, the player Barcelona needed to reign Europe again and keep reigning in Spain. The Argentine stuck his neck out so that his Brazilian friend could return to Barcelona, but Antoine Griezmann had already been signed and the club didn't have the financial means to be able to reunite MSN again.

Time is showing that Messi's determination was justified. It's not remembered that the No.10 positioned himself publicly in favour of the signing. Beforehand, Gerard Pique had revealed that he, Leo and Luis Suarez were willing to take a pay cut so that they could balance the books. He was the final piece to the puzzle that Leo believed would've taken Barcelona to the next level.

The return of Neymar generated a lot of doubts at Barcelona, but the Brazilian has been sweeping everyone aside on a sporting level this season. After his latest injury, Neymar is back to his brilliant best, not only in goals, but in his impact on the game. His numbers up until now, despite the suspension in the first two matches of the Champions League and the muscle problem that kept him out for a month and a half, are outstanding. In 1,456 minutes and 17 matches, he's scored 15 goals and provided nine assists in comparison to Griezmann's 11 goals and four assists in 2,271 minutes and 28 matches.

At the end of January, Barcelona are looking to sign a striker to cover the hole left by Suarez, with Ousmane Dembele struggling with injuries and Griezmann appearing and disappearing. If only they'd listened to Messi...

culled from Marca...

Honestly, the higher ups in Barcelona are either hopelessly clueless or so full of contempt for other clubs.

First of all, in January they tried getting Aubameyang who's been keeping Arsenal afloat with his goals on loan.

Just imagine the idiocy on display.

Next, they bid for Richarlison with 3 days to go knowing that Everton need his services to salvage anything from this season and were surprised when Everton rightly told them to fuckoff.

Bartomeu is funnier than I-go-die

That Bart guy is a clown.Took a Copa del rey semi final loss to sack Valverde after what happened for the past 2 years.Now wants to sign Richarlison for 100million?? This goes to show that him and other clowns at the helm of affairs have no clue of what direction we are to move after Messi has retired if replacing Suarez is a problem.

That man has to go

Should have gone before Varverde sef? Senseless board chairman that sold Alcacer and Munir to replace them with Boateng.

Joked around on signing Jovic till Madrid got him, now looking haphazardly for a top striker with 3 days to go. Why not approach City for Aguero or Juve for Ronaldo too while at it?
