What? Didn't they offload him less than a year ago?
Yeah, but they did so because of their FFP situation. Ever since he's struggled at Chelsea, Barcelona have always wanted him back at the club. Of course, his return is dependent on their current FFP situation, so let's see how that goes.

Should an agreement be reached to become FC Barcelona's sporting director, Deco would not start until 1 September.
Arsenal and Chelsea are also interested in the player. Despite their interest, none of those 3 clubs have submitted an offer for Raphinha as of now. Background: the reason these links exist is because of Barcelona's FFP situation. Whilst Raphinha wants to stay, Barcelona's open to selling him should they get a good offer.

The full quote:
I have never said that I want to leave Real. I have not even considered leaving. I have already said it several times, for saying it more times it seems that they do not pay attention to me. I think I'm enjoying this season very much, I'm very happy here, with my life, with the club's assessment and continue to meet the club's objectives and my own, I think it's the best I can do. It's very nice to be at home and to be able to compete and be comfortable, it's nice to renew and see that other teammates also do it, because they are happy.

The relevant quotes:
It is almost certain that he will not stay, it is certain that he will leave. Soon I will be in Lisbon. I trust Jorge Mendes, who is the best manager in the world. In fact, when I told him about Ugarte for the first time, he told me: "Your eyes are my eyes".

Liverpool? There is a lot of talk, but it is not the only club, there are others. There is a lot of talk, but I am not sure about the club yet. There are many possibilities on the table. I believe that in 15 days the situation will be solved.

  • PSG are also interested in the player.
  • Newcastle qualifying for the CL will make it very likely that they'll pursue Diaby.

Joao Felix's idea is to stay in the Premier [League] next season on loan.

Not necessarily at Chelsea, because he wants to play in the Champions League.

He knows he could start pre-season with Atleti

Now, Sporting will only sell Ugarte if a club triggers his €60m release clause.

Tier 2:
  • Other than the headline, the article doesn't mention Arsenal's interest in Amine Adli, but it does refer to their interest in Moussa Diaby.
  • Newcastle have registered their interest in both Adli and Diaby with Leverkusen.
  • About Adli:
    • Contract expires in 2026.
    • Possible fee: more than £30m
  • Leverkusen are more open to selling Diaby than Adli.
    • Diaby's contract expires in 2025.
    • PSG & Arsenal are also interested.
    • Possible fee: ~£60m

Tier 2:

Basically, if Chelsea determine that a young player won't be able to make their first team, they'll move them on rather than keep them around and continuously loan them out.

Tier 1:

The list of possible sporting directors
  • Lee Dykes (Brentford)
  • Johannes Spors (777 Partners)
  • Tiago Pinto (Roma; new name)
    • Keen on working in England
Spurs also considered Markus Krösche, but Bayern Munich are interested in him, and he's expected to turn down any Spurs offer.
