The club, however, are planning to step up their pursuit of the Argentine after the departure of Luis Suarez, who is expected to join Juventus. Barca are trying to negotiate a transfer fee for Suarez while Juve intend to land him for free. [Goal]

Coutinho to stay at Barca.

FC Barcelona no longer have the intention of offloading Philippe Coutinho this summer. This is due to new boss Ronald Koeman telling the club he has the Brazilian, who recently returned to Cam Nou after his loan spell at Bayern Munich, in his future plans. [Marca]

No bids for Bale at Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are yet to receive an offer for Gareth Bale despite the player making known of his intention to quit the club. The Welsh forward’s reluctance to take a pay cut on his €15 million–year salary is the biggest stumbling block for his potential suitors.

Tottenham have shown interest in his signing, though they lack the financial strength to pay for his transfer as well as his wages. [Mundo Deportivo]
