      However, to be able to afford the mercurial Argentinian forward, Barcelona must reduce the wage bill by a reported Ā£180million.
      This reduction would allow the club to make some more significant moves this summer after a financially tricky period.
      Over the last couple of years, members of the squad have taken pay cuts in order to help the club.
      But according to Sport, Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen are two that have recently rejected decreases to their salaries.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      The duo have only been at the club since last summer after joining on free transfers from AC Milan and Chelsea.
      And the report suggests that the proposed pay cut have not gone down well with the players arguing that they rejected larger contracts to join the club in the first place.
      It goes on to say that Kessie and Christensen think that the contract change is unwarranted considering their short time at the club.
      This means that Barcelona would have to consider different options to trim their expenses.

      Barcelona boss Xavi also revealed that theĀ club are in “permanent contact”Ā with his former team-mate, hinting a return could be on the cards.
      He said: “Messi knows that Barcelona is his home and the doors are open, I said this many times.

      Arsenal boost as target Ivan Fresneda drops huge transfer hint ahead of summer window

      by

      IVAN FRESNEDA has given Arsenal a boost by dropping a huge transfer hint ahead of the summer window. Fresneda, 18, is currently plying his trade for Real Valladolid in La Liga but is widely expected to be on the move at the end of the season.
      Fresneda came close to joining Arsenal in January but the deal fell throughCredit: Rex
      The right back has been on Arsenal’s radar for a while and came close to joining in the January window but a deadline day move collapsed at the last minute, despite a fee of Ā£13million being agreed.
      The Spaniard has also attracted interest from German giants Borussia Dortmund and has been learning English and German.
      It it likely that Mikel Arteta will renew his interest in the summer given that Ben White has predominantly had to fill in at right back this season.
      The teenager is under contract until 2025 but that is unlikely to be an obstacle should he seek a move to the Premier League.

      But in an interview with The Athletic, Fresneda dropped a huge hint as to where his future may lie.
      He said: “I like Arteta a lot because I think heā€™s a great coach; I follow the European leagues and I think the work heā€™s doing with his club is fantastic.
      “But now with [Real Valladolid manager] Pezzolano and before with [previous manager] Pacheta we do that style of play, and that style is the one I like the most.”
      There is expected to be plenty of change in the full back positions at The Emirates this summer with Kieran Tierney linked with a Ā£30m move to Newcastle.

      Girona 4 Real Madrid 2: MLS striker Taty Castellanos scores all FOUR as he equals 76-year record in Los Blancos drubbing

      by

      REAL MADRID were stuffed 4-2 by newly promoted Girona thanks to FOUR goals from striker Taty Castellanos.The 24-year-old, on loan from MLS side New York City FC, became the first player to score four goals against Real Madrid in La Liga since 1947.

      Castellanos scored four goals against Real Madrid, the same number of passes he made in the game
      And he did it all despite only touching the ball 15 times in the game.
      Castellanos got Girona off to the perfect start, putting his side 1-0 up with a free header into the bottom corner on 12 minutes.
      He doubled his tally for the night 12 minutes later, holding off Eder Militao to latch on to a ball over the top and finish through the legs of backup goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.
      Real Madrid hit back through Vinicius Jr, but Castellanos swept home Yan Couto’s cross for his hat-trick within a minute of the second-half restart.

      And he wasn’t done yet.
      The Argentine striker made it four on 62 minutes with another free header past a helpless Lunin.
      Castellanos was then subbed off on 71 minutes, having scored as many goals in the game as passes attempted.
      Lucas Vasquez netted a late consolation for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but the night belonged to Castellanos.

      The result put Girona up to ninth in the La Liga table.
      Real Madrid meanwhile now trail league leaders Barcelona by 11 points, having played a game more than their Catalan rivals.
      The result virtually kills any hopes of Los Blancos, who were without Karim Benzema and Thibaut Courtois, being able to win the title.
      Castellanos had scored just seven goals in La Liga this season before Tuesday’s game, but fired his tally for the campaign into double digits with his four strikes on the night.
      His parent club are owned by City Football Group, who also own a stake in Girona as well as Manchester City.
      So watch out Erling Haaland, because Pep Guardiola may have taken notice of Castellanos’ incredible performance against the Champions League holders.
      Incidentally, City are set to take on Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the competition next month.

      Gavi, 18, is already a key member of the Barcelona squad set to win LaLiga this season.
      But an ongoing contract issue thanks to Barca’s salary cap limit meant his first-team registration was cancelled and forced him to revert to his old Juvenil A youth deal.
      That could have made him available when the transfer window reopened, possibly even on a free.
      Chelsea are even said to have made contact and met with the player and his family to discuss a move.
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      Manchester United, Liverpool and Bayern Munich have also been monitoring the situation.
      But Sport report Gavi sat down with Xavi and told them the Barcelona boss wants to stay put at the Nou Camp.
      Xavi apparently reassured the youngster he “cannot imagine his midfield without Gavi” in their private conversation.
      And despite ongoing issues with the contract saga, the midfielder is said to be fully committed to the cause.

      Barcelona’s director of football Mateu said earlier in April: “Gavi renewed at the time for four seasons and he has three more to go.
      “For sure heā€™s going to honour his contract. Whatā€™s more, we are convinced that not only will he fulfil his contract, he is going to finish his career at Barcelona.
      “Thatā€™s what he wants, what our fans want and what we want.
      “We have absolute peace of mind. The player renewed, we are going to register him for sure, and for our part there is no problem.”
      Gavi joined Barcelona aged 11 in 2015 after spells with La Liara and Real Betis.
      The midfielder made his first-team debut in 2021 and has racked up four goals in 89 appearances.
      He already has 19 senior Spain caps, with the third of his three goals coming in the 7-0 thrashing of Costa Rice in Qatar to become his nation’s youngest World Cup scorer.
      Gavi proved his incredible talent by being crowned Kopa Trophy winner and the Golden Boy in 2022 after his breakthrough season. More

      Chukwueze has enjoyed a brilliant season for the Yellow Submarine, notching 13 goals and 11 assists in all competitions.
      The 22-year-old winger was the star man when Villarreal beat Real Madrid earlier this month in a game that was overshadowed by Federico Valverde’s spat with Alex Baena.
      Chukwueze scored twice at the Bernabeu to underline his potential.
      Defensa Central report Arsenal, Liverpool and Real Madrid are all keen to swoop for the star.

      But other Premier League clubs including Everton, West Ham and Aston Villa are also believed to be in the hunt.
      A potential stumbling block for any of the clubs is Chukwueze’s contract, which includes a release clause of Ā£88m.
      But his deal expires in the summer of 2024 so Villarreal will be under pressure to sell or face losing him for free this summer.
      Chukwueze joined the Spanish club in 2017 after learning his trade at Nigeria’s Diamond Academy.
