Transfer news LIVE: Barcelona asked to sign Lionel Messi by Xavi, Newcastle £40m Connor Gallagher EXCLUSIVE
BARCELONA are still on the hunt for more incomings this summer despite their financial issues in the transfer window.
They drew 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano in their opening game at the Nou Camp, with former Chelsea target Jules Kounde still unable to join the matchday squad under La Liga rules.
However, the Catalans are still very much in for Bernardo Silva, and Xavi has even asked club president Joan Laporta to bring Lionel Messi back to the club.
Meanwhile Newcastle are lining up a £40m move for Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, SunSport can exclusively reveal.
The midfielder starred for Crystal Palace on loan last season, leading to Thomas Tuchel bringing him into his first team squad.
