      Now, according to The Guardian, Schmeichel is being lined up to replace Kepa if he leaves.

      His lack of leadership, along with his preference to manage himself, is causing tensions to rise.
      If Schmeichel does depart, reserve goalkeeper Marcin Bulka will likely step up to become the club’s No 1.
      Earlier this month, the Dane admitted that he would be open to a return to Leicester.
      During an appearance on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, he said: “I don’t think my chapter with Leicester will ever end.
      “I still say we, the club will always be a part [of me].
      “I came to Leicester as a young man needing a home and needing somewhere to be accepted for who I was and not for what everyone else thought I should be.
      “Leicester gave me that, and even after 11 years there’s still something unwritten for me there.”
      But it could be a return to the Premier League moves top of Schmeichel’s agenda in the immediate future if Chelsea come calling. More

      Barcelona ‘launch joint loan transfer bid for TWO Man City stars’ just days before Premier League opener

      by

      BARCELONA have launched a joint loan bid for TWO Manchester City stars just days before the Premier League is about to kick off.Spanish outlet Sport report that Barcelona are “very interested” in acquiring both Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo ahead of their season opener against Getafe this Sunday.

      But Cancelo could be attainable for BarcelonaCredit: Getty
      The Catalan club hold a long standing interest in both players.
      Barca pushed hard to sign Silva last season when it looked as though the midfielder would leave the Etihad.
      In Cancelo’s case, Barcelona tried to sign him in January after the full-back fell out with manager Pep Guardiola, but he ultimately joined Bayern Munich on loan.
      Barcelona are set for a cash injection once Ousmane Dembele’s transfer to PSG is completed and view the Manchester City players as an ideal way to reinvest the cash.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Both Cancelo and Silva have operated in Dembele’s vacant right-wing position in the past but it is likely that Silva would play in Barca’s midfield three and Cancelo would play his preferred role of right-back.
      The report says that Barcelona would include a mandatory buy clause of £60million at the end of Silva’s loan deal.
      Silva’s City contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025.
      Sport say that City while City are open to letting Cancelo leave the club, they are not interested in selling Silva, particularly having already lost Riyad Mahrez this summer.

      City have been linked with Palace’s Michael Olise and Rennes’ Jeremy Doku as they look to replace Mahrez – but Silva has operated off the right-wing in the past and started there during Sunday’s Community shield defeat to Arsenal.
      Cancelo, though, is free to leave the club and has reportedly already agreed personal terms with Barca.
      City will look to bounce back from Sunday’s penalty shootout defeat against Arsenal when they kick off their Premier League campaign away at Burnley on Friday night. More
