Barcelona are interested in a move for Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon but are unwilling to pay the Premier League’s asking price for the winger.

A move for the England international would fill the position held this season by on-loan forward Marcus Rashford.

Spain’s World Cup squad.

Lamine Yamal leads the pack. Eric Garcia and Marc Pubill deservedly included, taking the places of Le Normand and Huijsen.

Gavi gets the call too. Victor Muñoz will be the X factor from the bench. No Madrid player in the squad, first time in a WC.

She brings balance to Barcelona. She has featured in all seven of Barcelona’s Champions League finals, playing in three different positions and was named MVP of the 2023 final whilst playing out of position.

A football 'geek' who has had the season of his life at Barça. He can watch over four games a day, started his coaching badges at 16 and at 25 has no doubts he'll be a manager one day.

Eric Garcia has been brilliant for Barcelona.

A football obsessive who “loves tactics”, his versatility and intelligence made him a fundamental part of their La Liga title defence.

He spoke with @polballus on:

🧠 Impressing Pep Guardiola with tactical knowledge at 18
🤝 His evolving chemistry with Lamine Yamal
🇪🇸 World Cup hopes with Spain this summer
🇩🇪 How 'father figure' Hansi Flick saved him from a Camp Nou exit

Eric Garcia mentions Igor Thiago, Junior Kroupi and Igor Jesus as three players who have impressed him this season.

He also reveals the turning point in Barça's season, and the tactical tweak that should take them into the next level.
