After Al-Hilal stepped up their interest in Barcelona winger Raphinha, an unnamed club from Qatar has also sent a lucrative proposal to the Brazilian winger. The club in question is ready to offer a massive salary to the 29-year-old as well as a handsome transfer fee to the Catalan giants. Raphinha, however, is currently focused on the 2026 World Cup and will take stock of the proposals after the tournament.

Germany have officially announced their squad for the World Cup. One of the biggest surprises is the inclusion of Manuel Neuer, who had previously retired from international football after Euro 2024. Neuer’s decision at the time appeared to open the door for Marc-Andre ter Stegen to finally become Germany’s first-choice goalkeeper and make his debut at a major international tournament.

Barcelona are reportedly stepping up their pursuit of Joao Pedro ahead of the summer transfer window, according to El Chiringuito TV. The Brazilian forward is said to be highly appreciated by Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, with the club viewing him as an attractive attacking option. The report claims Barcelona could intensify negotiations for the Chelsea FC attacker, especially with Julian Alvarez now being linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
