Joan Laporta’s return as president, however, has improved Barcelona’s chances of keeping Messi. As things stand, the club’s chances of keeping him beyond the end of this season are rated at 50-50. [Cadena Ser – in Spanish]

Chelsea eye potential Pulisic replacement

Kingsley Coman is the man to replace Christian Pulisic if the American leaves Chelsea in the summer.

Pulisic has fallen out of favor under new Blues manager Thomas Tuchel, and it’s not gone unnoticed by the club. The transfer chiefs are, therefore, keeping an eye on Bayern Munich winger Coman. [Mail]
