Barcelona star to sit out Vissel Kobe clash

A member of the first-team setup at La Liga giants Barcelona will not be available to play his part in Sunday's friendly fixture against Vissel Kobe. That's according to Blaugrana insider Gerard Romero, who points towards Marc Bernal as the player in question. Youngster Bernal is for his part of course fresh off a challenging last 12 months. After establishing himself as a starting figure in Hansi Flick's Barcelona midfield early last season, an untimely ACL injury saw the 18-year-old ruled out for the remainder of the campaign. Bernal has since managed a return to the grass in training, taking part in elements of group training with his teammates. As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then the Spaniard is evidently not yet considered ready for competitive action. As per a report from Jijantes journalist Gerard Romero: 'For tomorrow, everyone is available except Marc Bernal to play against Vissel Kobe.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Bayern Munich star ‘close' to Celta Vigo switch

La Liga outfit Celta Vigo are closing on a deal for an out-of-favour member of the attacking ranks at German champions Bayern Munich. That's according to market insider Matteo Moretto, who points towards Bryan Zaragoza as the player in question. Wide-man Zaragoza for his part spent this past season plying his trade back in La Liga, on loan. After struggling to make an impression with the aforementioned Bayern Munich following his arrival from Granada, the Spanish international was allowed to return to his home country, linking up with Osasuna for 2024/25. And as alluded to above, if the latest word stemming from the media this weekend is anything to go by, then Zaragoza looks highly likely to be plying his trade in La Liga once more next season. As per a report from the aforementioned Matteo Moretto: 'Bryan Zaragoza wants to return to Spain, and the team strongly bidding for him is Celta. Celta have been negotiating for Zaragoza for weeks but the agreement with Bayern Munich regarding the formula has complicated the negotiations. Now the two clubs are close to reaching a resolution.'
