(🌕) Barcelona is now leaning more towards selling Sergi Roberto rather than renewing his contract, something which was a priority one month ago. Neither is Lenglet’s future at the club certain, all scenarios are open in his case. More below. @ffpolo#Transfers 🔁🚨
ℹ️ Dembele: Barcelona wants to renew his contract - but if there is no agreement, he will be placed on the market. @ffpolo#Transfers 🇫🇷
ℹ️ Umtiti: His situation is much clearer. He isn’t in the plans of Barcelona and could be given a ‘letter of freedom’ [released]. @ffpolo#Transfers 🇫🇷
ℹ️ Jordi Alba: Another player Barcelona wants to talk to is the left-back. Their priority is to negotiate with him/his representatives and see if an agreement can be reached over a reduced salary. @ffpolo#Transfers 🇪🇸💰
ℹ️ Junior Firpo: There will also be a meeting with his agent. Many clubs interested, with AC Milan showing the strongest interest. In his case, the club is either looking to sell him permanently or add him in a swap deal. @ffpolo#Transfers 🇪🇸
ℹ️ Miralem Pjanic: The agents of the player have already been told that the best thing would be to now look for a new team. @ffpolo#Transfers 🇧🇦

Messi, on his earliest memories playing football, his first matches as a kid, etc: “Even before , when I was 4/5 years old, I used to play with a ball - right from the time I started walking. Yes, I remember my first games at Grandoli [in Rosario] being on the field..” #FCB ⚽️
“I have older brothers and cousins, and we always got together to play. I don’t exactly remember the first time I played played with a ball, but I know I’ve been playing since I was very little. And when I was 4, I started playing at a club, and on a street, all the time” #FCB ⚽️
❗️Garcia Pimienta told @beteve: “I was & am ready to coach the first team. It would not be realistic if I’m not prepared & work daily during matches and training in case the first team needs me one day. It's my intention & enthusiasm, considering it's very difficult..” #FCB 🔵🔴
Pimienta: “I wasn't surprised by the performances of players like Mingueza, Araujo or Ilaix. They are great players, who have the Barça DNA & if you put them in front of the best, they are even better. I'm not at all surprised..” #FCB 🌟
Pimienta: “Riqui Puig is a player made to play for Barcelona” #FCB 🇪🇸🌟
Joan Laporta’s Sporting Project Presentation. Thread. #ElectionsFCB
Rafael Yuste [VP under Laport]: “Alemany has an enormous knowledge of football at all levels and that is why we will all be happy to have him if the candidacy of Joan Laporta win the elections” #Alemany 🤝
Rafael, on Alexanco’s return: “We shared many good moments with him at La Masia. We will never forget the year with Guardiola at Barça B and that is why I am very happy that he is with us" #LaMasia 🤝
Garcia Pimienta [Barcelona B Coach] told SER: "We are talking about the Barça DNA, but within the DNA you have to be a winner and competitive. This club aspires to win everything. If you don't have a winning mentality within your DNA, you can't play here" #FCB 🔵🔴
Pimienta: "The Barça DNA is a different way of understanding football - that they truly understand the game, they use both legs, they position themselves well, they think faster than others and that before receiving they already know what to do" #FCB 🔵🔴
Pimienta: "I assure you there are players [from the subsidiary] with this profile & that they can play in the first team, then there are other circumstances. But we must be faithful, believe, and give these players a chance, I am convinced that they have a level to spare" #FCB 👥
ℹ️ “How come we are interested in this player when we have no president?” — Barcelona’s current sporting area, which is led by Ramon Planes, has been doing a market search in these last few months ahead of the elections this March, as advanced by multiple sources. More below. ⤵️
Planes is filing reports on different kinds of players they could look into & positions which we need to be reinforced. That’s why we’ve been linked to players like Isak, Nunez or Bryan Gil, though not all reports which links us to a player from another club rn are credible. 📑
All these reports are going to be for the next president & his management who will arrive in March after the elections. They will arrive at the club w/ many reports on different players the club should consider looking into & what positions should be strengthened in the team. 👥
(🌕) The current sporting area of the club, led by Ramon Planes, have intensified their monitoring in La Real’s Alexandre Isak. They are aware that one of the priorities of the next president will be a CF. More details below. @moillorens@samuelmarsden#Transfers 🇸🇪
ℹ️ The current sports area has continued to search the market in the last few months to offer the next president different reports on positions which need to be reinforced and on some players that would be considered as interesting. @moillorens@samuelmarsden#Transfers 👥
