Barcelona transfer news LIVE: Luis Suarez asks for £45m signing; Lionel Messi agrees

Barcelona transfer news LIVE updates: All the latest from the Nou Camp

Wednesday June 6

Christian Eriksen to Barcelona

Darren Anderton would not be surprised to see Barcelona come in for Christian Eriksen this summer.

The Denmark international has scored 56 goals and provided 69 in his 226 appearances across all competitions, and his form for Tottenham has seen him linked with a big-money move to La Liga champions Barcelona.

Anderton reckons Eriksen is happy at the club, but admits he would not be surprised if Barca make a move for the 26-year-old playmaker.

"I think Eriksen is very happy at Tottenham,” Anderton told Bwin. “But I wouldn’t be surprised if Barcelona wanted to sign him this summer, especially if he has a good World Cup with Denmark.”

Mohamed Salah - agent reveals truth behind rumours

Mohamed Salah’s agent has issued a dismissive response to reports the Liverpool star had been offered to Barcelona.

According to Spanish newspaper AS, Salah representatives have had several meetings with Barcelona.

But in news that will delight Liverpool fans, Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas Issa has tweeted: “This never happened. @English_AS you need better sources.”

Salah had an incredible debut season at Liverpool with 42 goals in all competitions and his performances have caught the eye of Europe’s elite clubs.

Ousmane Dembele swap deal

It’s not the first mystifying rumour involving Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

Spanish website Don Balon, who are known for their outlandish transfer claims, are suggesting that Barcelona want Salah at the Nou Camp.

They sensationally claim Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu is willing to offer Ousmane Dembele and cash for Salah this summer.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is a big admirer of France international Dembele and Bartomeu is hoping to use the German’s interest to sign Salah.

Don Balon add that Bartomeu’s first choice is Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann.

Barcelona might well be interested in Salah’s latest interview.

When asked if he will leave Liverpool, Salah told Egyptian TV channel ON ENT: “All that I can say is that I’m happy to be here and I’ve adapted to the prevailing atmosphere.”

Malcom update

Chelsea and Liverpool have been blown out of the water in their pursuit of Bordeaux star Malcom, reports in Italy suggest.

The Premier League duo, along with Spurs, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Paris St-Germain, have been credited with interest in the 21-year-old.

But Sky Italia are claiming that Inter Milan have surged ahead of their rivals.

They report that Malcom, who Bordeaux value at £44million, “has said yes” to the Serie A outfit having turned down an approach from Wolfsburg.

Florentino Perez’s dream team…

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has an audacious masterplan.

And that plan involves creating a new front-three at the Bernabeu who are capable of closing the gap on runaway La Liga winners Barcelona.

Spanish website Don Balon claim the Real Madrid chief wants his new attack to comprise of Robert Lewandowski, Gareth Bale and Neymar.

The report says Perez wants to get Karim Benzema off the books and is prepared to sell Cristiano Ronaldo should the Portugal superstar object to Neymar’s arrival.

There has been plenty of speculation that Lewandowski, who scored 41 goals in 48 competitive games last season, could leave the Bundesliga champions.

And his interest in signing former Barcelona star Neymar to Madrid has been well documented, although PSG have made it clear they do not want to sell their world-record forward.

Thomas Lemar interest

Chelsea are reportedly poised to battle Barcelona and Atletico Madrid for Thomas Lemar this summer.

Spanish outlet Sport claim Chelsea are showing a keen interest in Lemar as they plan for the 2018/19 campaign.

While Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also said to be eager to get the 22-year-old on-board as they look to strengthen.

Sport indicate Barcelona have been in touch with Monaco already regarding a potential deal for Lemar, who’s up for a new challenge.

And Monaco are apparently willing to do business for between £61-79m (€70-90m) - £9m (€10m) less than they quoted Liverpool last summer.

Luis Suarez wants Miralem Pjanic arrival

The transfer window is in full swing and we’ve already started to see a few familiar stories hit the headlines.

The latest involves Luis Suarez, who has supposedly asked Barcelona to sign Juventus playmaker Miralem Pjanic.

The 28-year-old scored seven goals and provided 14 assists for Juventus this season and is viewed as the ideal replacement for legendary midfielder Andres Iniesta.

Spanish website Don Balon, who are known for their outlandish transfer claims, report that Suarez believes Pjanic has the perfect “philosophy” for Ernesto Valverde’s side.

The report adds that Barcelona are prepared to offer £45million for his signature and will include Andre Gomes as part of the deal.

If this story feels familiar then it’s probably because Don Balon recently claimed that Lionel Messi would like to see Pjanic at the Nou Camp next season.

Telepathic thinking from the South American duo, right?

Jasper Cillessen verdict

Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen has opened up on rumours linking him to Arsenal and Liverpool.

Both Premier League clubs are reported to be interested in signing the shot-stopper with doubts over their current keepers.

Cillessen has a release clause of £52million and has admitted Barcelona will not sell him for anything less, despite having been back-up to Marc-Andre ter Stegen last season.

"I think that I played well in the matches I had in the Copa del Rey,” Cillessen said. "I need to wait patiently. The only thing I know is that Barcelona won’t sell me.

“Arsenal and Liverpool aren’t bad clubs but if Barcelona say, ‘We love you,’ then I’ll accept their decision and continue there.

"I’ll wait until we return on July 16 to see what they’ve decided. I don’t know anything. If the club wants to keep me, I’ll accept that. I signed a five-year deal with them."
