Today’s rumors begin with the unlikely news that Barcelona have contacted Leon Goretzka to see if he wants to leave Bayern Munich for the Camp Nou, according to Sport1.
The midfielder actually wants to stay at Bayern, but has yet to agree on a new contract and has recently changed agents, which seems to have complicated things.
Barcelona, Real Madrid and some Premier League clubs have expressed interest in Goretzka, but it seems that staying at Bayern is the midfielder’s preferred option.
Barcelona is also believed to be thinking of Denmark’s Mikkel Damsgaard, who has drawn attention at Euro 2020, according to Sport.
The midfielder scored a scorer against Russia to help secure his team a place in the round of 16 and become Denmark’s youngest scorer in a major tournament in the process.
Damsgaard is only 20 years old and currently plays for Sampdoria. The club is already thinking of taking advantage of the young man after his impressive demonstrations.
When it comes to sales, Barcelona are not doing too well when it comes to ditching players, but they seem to have several suitors for Martin Braithwaite.
The Dane is expected to leave this summer following the arrivals of Sergio Agüero and Memphis Depay, and Barça have already told the forward that he will have no minutes next season.
Premier League clubs West Ham, Brighton, Burnley and Norwich are interested, along with an unnamed Russian club, so Sport says.
And finally we end with the news that Iñaki Pena has asked to leave Barcelona and wants to leave unless he is promoted to substitute for Marc-Andre ter Stegen for next season.
Mundo Deportivo reports that Peña is eager to take a “step forward” in his career and wants to be part of the first team squad or go out and gain some experience.
It seems that Pena can be granted her wish. MD calculates that Barça have rejected his request and reported that young Ronald Koeman wants him for next season.
