Barcelona star's sale is back on track
A member of the attacking ranks at La Liga heavyweights Barcelona is inching towards the exit door once more. That's according to transfer insider Santi Aouna, who points towards Ansu Fati as the player in question. Advertisement The name of wide-man Ansu has of course been an altogether prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya's capital over recent weeks. This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that the out-of-favour Spaniard had been identified as a leading transfer target on the part of Ligue 1 outfit AS Monaco. Talks, in turn, have long been opened between the respective boards at the Camp Nou and Stade Louis II. Recent days had seen it suggested that negotiations had hit something of a roadblock, as the parties struggled to find common ground on the terms of a deal. As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then the transfer now appears to be firmly back on track. Advertisement As per a report from Santi Aouna of Foot Mercato: 'The Spanish champions – seeing that no offers were arriving for their protégé – have decided to reconsider their stance (on the terms of a sale). Since then, discussions are moving in the right direction, as we can tell you that they are currently moving towards a loan with Monaco partially covering Fati's salary.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Real Madrid in last-minute transfer push against PSG
La Liga giants Real Madrid have repositioned themselves in the race for River Plate sensation Franco Mastantuono. That's according to transfer insider Santi Aouna, amongst others, who point towards Real as having reemerged as a leading player in the Mastantuono sweepstakes. Advertisement The name of River Plate's teenage sensation has dominated the headlines across Europe over the course of recent days. This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that Paris Saint-Germain had kicked into gear a concerted push to land Mastantuono in the summer. Some outlets, in fact, went as far as to point towards a deal between the parties as being all but imminent. Just as it appeared as though the newly-crowned Champions League winners had been afforded a free run at one of South American football's standout talents, however, a fresh twist in the tale has been touted. As per the aforementioned Santi Aouna: Advertisement 'For the moment, PSG remain the favourites in the Franco Mastantuono case. But in the last few hours, Real Madrid have made inquiries to find out whether the deal with PSG is already closed or not. The next few days will be important.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Barcelona make enquiry for Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen
According to a report from Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, FC Barcelona have made an enquiry for Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen (22). The Catalan side have asked for the conditions of a potential deal with the Sussex club. The 22-year-old Netherlands national team goalkeeper are reportedly looking for a long-term successor to Marc-Andre ter Stegen – who tore his ACL earlier this season. Verbruggen is high on the list for the goalkeeper position along with Joan García from Espanyol, reports Aouna. Verbruggen the Seagulls from Anderlecht in July 2023 and has established himself as Brighton's first-choice keeper after rotating with Jason Steele under current Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi in the 2023-2024 season. Last season the Dutchman was an undisputed starter under Fabian Hurzeler, making 36 Premier League appearances this season. He is currently under contract with the Albion until 2028, but has missed out on the latest Netherlands squad after he was reportedly 'struggling with physical complaints and needed time for the recovery process.'
