Barca could sell FOUR stars in summer

FC Barcelona are in massive debt, and out of fear of losing some of their rising stars they could sell four of their first-team players.

Antoine Griezmann, Philippe Coutinho, Samuel Umtiti, and Francisco Trincao are those who could depart Camp Nou in the summer transfer window.

Neither Griezmann’s nor Coutinho’s big-money move has exactly been a success and both are on high wages.

Umtiti’s time at the club has been plagued by injuries and he would be deemed surplus to requirements when Eric Garcia joins in the summer.

As for Trincao, he has failed to convince manager Ronald Koeman of his abilities. The 21-year-old is is specifically linked to Wolves. [El Confidencial]

Liverpool interested in re-signing Suarez

Liverpool this season haven’t been the free-scoring side they used to be, and this has prompted them to search for an experienced goalscorer.

The search has led them to a quite familiar figure who scored 82 goals in 133 games during his three-year stint at the club from 2011 to 2014.

Luis Suarez is being linked with a sensational return to Anfield as Jurgen Klopp’s side are preparing to make an offer to Atletico Madrid for the striker.
