Spain will make their debut in the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 against Serbia on the opening matchday. Unfortunately, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gavi">Gavi</a> will have to wait and watch from home.



The young FC Barcelona star has been sidelined for 10 months and is not on Spain’s roster for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/uefa-nations-league">UEFA Nations League</a> as he continues to recover from a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, which he suffered in November 2023.



The severe injury occurred following a tackle by Luka Lochoshvili during the match between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spain">Spain</a> and Georgia for Euro 2024 qualifiers. According to medical reports, Gavi could return to the field between the end of October and the beginning of November 2024.



In addition to the primary tear, Gavi also suffered an associated injury to the lateral meniscus, which extended his recovery time. However, since August, he has already been seen training on the field, doing solo drills.

Nearly a year after his injury, the midfielder is getting closer to returning to the pitch. The truth is that Spain has not been able to call him up for the UEFA Nations League or the 2024 Euro Cup, a tournament the Spaniards won.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/olympics/why-is-gavi-not-playing-for-spain-in-paris-2024-olympic-games"></div>


<h2>When will Gavi return to play for Spain?</h2>



Rumors suggest that Gavi could be returning to play for the Spanish national team in the UEFA Nations League matches against Denmark and Switzerland in mid-November. Coach Luis de la Fuente has acknowledged that the midfielder is an indispensable player for his tactics.



FC Barcelona, however, is opposed to such an early return, as the player was injured while playing for Spain, and there is concern that another injury could occur after a year of inactivity due to insufficient rest.

FC Barcelona delivered a stunning 7-0 victory over Valladolid in the fourth round of the Spanish league. The last time the Catalan side won by seven or more goals was against Huesca, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> as the standout star of that match.



In a great performance by Hansi Flick’s squad, the Catalan team thrashed Valladolid at Montjuic, maintaining their position as the sole leaders of the league with a perfect record. The goals were scored by Raphinha, who netted three times, along with Lewandowski, Kounde, Ferran Torres, and Dani Olmo.



With this victory, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> remains leader of the league, having won all four of their matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding just three. Despite the break for the FIFA international window, the Blaugrana continue to be one of the top contenders for the title.

<h2>Last time Barcelona scored seven or more goals in a match</h2>



Barcelona’s crushing victory over their latest opponent prompts us to look into when the Blaugrana last scored seven or more goals in a single match. It’s undoubtedly a striking result.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/gundogan-reveals-the-real-reason-behind-his-surprising-move-from-fc-barcelona-to-manchester-city"></div>


Going back a bit in time, on September 2, 2018, Barcelona showed no mercy against Huesca, with the final scoreline being a decisive 8-2.



At that time, Lionel Messi was the team’s main leader and scored two goals in that match, while his key partner on the field, Luis Suarez, also netted a double. The remaining goals were scored by Jorge Pulido (own goal), as well as Dembele, Rakitic, and Jordi Alba.

In their La Liga debut, FC Barcelona makes a strong statement at Mestalla, defeating Valencia decisively. In German coach Hansi Flick‘s first match on the Barcelona bench, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/robert-lewandowski">Robert Lewandowski</a> scores twice to secure the victory for the Catalan side.



For the home team, Duro had opened the scoring towards the end of the first half. However, they couldn’t hold on to the lead, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> managed to turn the game around.



Barcelona started on the right foot in their long journey toward the title in Spain, this time without Xavi on the bench, but with German coach Hansi Flick at the helm.



For the visiting side, young star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a> started from the beginning. Just days earlier, he had to address personal matters due to an incident where his father was stabbed in a parking lot in Badalona.

One of the most talked-about transfer sagas of the European summer is on the verge of reaching its conclusion. It looks like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a> will be joining forces in FC Barcelona‘s attack with a fellow Spanish national team player, a teammate from their victorious Euro 2024 campaign.



In breaking news, renowned sports journalist Fabrizio Romano took to X (formerly Twitter) to report that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dani-olmo">Dani Olmo</a> is set to join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">FC Barcelona</a>. According to Romano, the highly anticipated transfer is already in the works, with details being finalized.



Currently, Dani Olmo is with RB Leipzig, awaiting a resolution to his contractual situation. According to Sky Sport Germany, Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, is already in Germany to help facilitate the transfer. Olmo, who has expressed a strong desire to return to Spanish football, is inching closer to finalizing his move to FC Barcelona. 



Although RB Leipzig initially valued Dani Olmo at around €60 million, Barcelona’s first offer was turned down. However, the Blaugrana are expected to make a revised bid of €55 million guaranteed, with an additional €7 million in performance-based add-ons. This new proposal is anticipated to be more compelling and could pave the way for a successful transfer.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240806_BUS_155145_Dani-Olmo-1-1024x576_4ede065a.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Dani Olmo Leipzig" class="wp-image-155160" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Dani-Olmo-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Dani-Olmo-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Dani-Olmo-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Dani-Olmo-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/Dani-Olmo-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Dani Olmo of RB Leipzig reacts after a disallowed goal during the Bundesliga match between RB Leipzig and 1. FC Köln at Red Bull Arena on August 13, 2022 in Leipzig, Germany.</figcaption></figure>



The contract offered to Dani Olmo, the Euro 2024 champion, is set for six years, keeping him tied to FC Barcelona until 2030. This long-term deal underscores Barcelona’s commitment to securing Olmo’s services for the foreseeable future.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/report-lamine-yamal-barcelona-receive-bad-news-in-the-transfer-window"></div>


<h2>Dani Olmo: The alternative to Nico Williams</h2>



Initially, Barcelona’s top priority was securing the services of Nico Williams. The young forward from Athletic Bilbao, who is a close friend of Lamine Yamal, was their number one choice to bolster the attack.



However, with Athletic Bilbao confirming that Nico Williams will remain with the club for at least another year, Barcelona wasted no time pivoting to secure Dani Olmo. The Catalan giants quickly shifted their focus and reengaged in discussions with Olmo, who had previously been in talks about joining the club.



<h2>What’s next for FC Barcelona pre-season?</h2>



Under the guidance of German coach Hansi Flick, FC Barcelona still has one remaining match on their U.S. tour before heading back to Spain and play the Joan Gamper Trophy, finalizing preparations for the upcoming La Liga season:

The European football transfer market is still in full swing, and unfortunately for FC Barcelona, and specifically for Lamine Yamal, the club’s biggest aspiration will not materialize this season.



During the recent Euro 2024, which saw the Spanish national team crowned champions, several young players delivered standout performances. One of them, who shared a team with Yamal, was the player he hoped would join him at Barcelona this season.



The forward in question is none other than Nico Williams, a standout player for Athletic Bilbao and a close friend of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a>. The young star from the Basque side was not only a target for Barcelona but also received interest from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">Paris Saint-Germain</a> in France.



According to the sports media outlet Sport, Nico Williams returned to training with Athletic Bilbao a week earlier than expected, indicating that the forward has no intentions of moving clubs this season. Additionally, journalist Pedro Morata revealed via his X account, formerly Twitter, that Williams will remain in Bilbao for another year.

<h2>Williams, Yamal, and the duo that will not be</h2>



With rumors swirling about Nico Williams joining <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a>, fans of the Catalan club were beginning to dream of a young and lethal attacking duo. Combined with the experience of Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona would have boasted a very strong attacking trio.

However, the wait will be a bit longer than anticipated, as Williams’ camp has confirmed that the forward will stay in Bilbao for another year. The two will only face each other when they come head-to-head with their respective teams.

<h2>Paris Saint-Germain, another destination that Williams has ruled out</h2>



While Barcelona were the strongest option for Nico Williams due to his personal connection with Lamine Yamal, another European giant also sought his services.



The other team was none other than PSG, which, in anticipation of Kylian Mbappe’s departure to Real Madrid, was looking to bolster its attack as effectively as possible for the upcoming season.



However, it was his agent, Felix Tainta, who informed the Parisian club that Williams would remain at San Mames for at least another year.

As European soccer gears up for a new season, several star players are staying busy with various activities.



Take, for instance, the rising global star, Spanish sensation <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a>. After helping Spain secure the UEFA Euro 2024 title in Germany, Yamal is now enjoying a well-deserved vacation. He’ll soon shift his focus to the upcoming season with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">FC Barcelona</a>.



In the final stretch of his break, Yamal spent a few days in Algarve, located in southern Portugal. And when talking about Portugal, it’s impossible not to think of one of the greatest soccer players of the modern era, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>.



It was in Algarve that Lamine Yamal crossed paths with someone very close to Cristiano Ronaldo, the former Real Madrid star now shining with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Yamal’s father captured the moment in a photo that quickly went viral on social media.

<h2>What’s next for Yamal?</h2>



After a well-deserved break, Lamine Yamal is expected to join FC Barcelona’s preseason training in the coming days. He’ll be under the guidance of new head coach Hansi Flick as the team prepares for the Joan Gamper Trophy match against AS Monaco on August 12.

FC Barcelona of Spain is in search of a star signing, and the club are convinced that their effort to sign a winger from Athletic Club will be successful, who will soon say “yes, I do” in the next few hours to become a Barça player and teammate of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a>.



According to Sports 45, it is expected that in the coming days there will be a new contact between Deco, Barça’s sporting director, and Felix Tainta, the player’s agent. This contact could be crucial to close the deal and for Nico Williams to become a new Barça player. The club is confident that this next contact will be the definitive one.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fc-barcelona">FC Barcelona</a> have everything ready to pay the clause and register the player, but only the definitive green light from the winger is missing. Optimism is high and only the definitive confirmation of the player is missing for him to become a new Barça player.



<h2>FC Barcelona close to signing Nico Williams</h2>



Barcelona is anxiously awaiting Nico Williams’ decision; they want to close the signing as soon as possible to prevent the operation from getting complicated and Nico having to return to training with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/athletic-club">Athletic</a>, according to the Sports 45 report. The longer the decision is delayed, the more difficult the operation will be and the more pressure there will be on the player.

<h2>What will happen if Nico Williams can’t decide?</h2>



If Nico Williams does not say “yes” in the next few hours, the operation will be complicated. The player would have to return to training with Athletic and the environmental pressure would grow. In addition, Barça would have to look for other alternatives in the market.



<h2>When will the signing of Nico Williams be made official?</h2>



If Nico Williams responds positively in the next few hours, the signing could be official next week. Barça would have to pay the termination clause and sign the contract with the player. However, it is also possible that the signing will be delayed until after the preseason. This would depend on the availability of Nico Williams and the negotiations between Barça and Athletic Club.

Ronald Koeman strongly criticized <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a>‘s board for its handling of the club’s legends, including Xavi Hernandez, Lionel Messi and himself. He said all this at a recent event, called the Koeman Cup.

Ronald Koeman’s time as Barça coach was quite complicated, in times of crisis marked by the pandemic, the Club’s financial problems and the departure of the great star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> before the start of the 2021/22 season. However, under Koeman’s leadership they won the 2021 Copa del Rey.



<h2>Koeman and the treatment of FC Barcelona legends</h2>



“It’s sad that he is out of Barça (<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/xavi-hernandez">Xavi)</a>, that I am out of Barça, that Messi is out… It seems that the legends of the club don’t look like anything for the board,” Koeman said. The Dutch coach also referred to Frenkie de Jong’s injury, Koeman expressed concern about De Jong’s injury and wished him a speedy recovery.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/robert-lewandowski">Robert Lewandowski</a> appeared to ignore <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a> when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> youngster tried to shake hands with the striker during the 2-1 win over Alaves on Sunday. The clip immediately went viral, with many questioning Lewy’s attitude.



The situation happened after Yamal decided to make a play on his own rather than pass the ball to Lewandowski, who was waiting on the box. In a press conference with the Pole national team, the 35-year-old set the record straight.



“Honestly, there is not comment on it, because it was just an incident. So when it comes to my relationship with him, I have helped him several times and gave him advice, even in this game,” Lewandowski said, via Pole journalist Błażej Łukaszewski.



While the clip gave a lot to talk about, Barca fans on social media have also shown how Lewandowski then talked to Yamal after scoring his comeback goal, proving they only had an incident before. According to Sport, the pair worked things out in the locker room and were surprised by how the media reacted to the situation.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="666" height="733" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231113_BUS_84861_image-4.webp&amp;width=666&amp;height=733" alt="" class="wp-image-84872" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/image-4.png 666w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/image-4-273x300.png 273w" sizes="(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px"></figure></figure>



“It’s normal to say or shout something on the pitch,” Lewandowski added. “The entire situation is an incident out of context, and has no meaning. It happens.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231103#BUS#82906"></div>


<h2>Lewandowski helps Barcelona get a much-needed win</h2>



While his viral moment with Yamal was one of the biggest storylines of the game, Lewandowski should’ve made more headlines for helping Barca turn things around. Samuel Omorodion put Alaves in front in the first minute, forcing the hosts to run from behind for much of the game.



It wasn’t until the 53rd minute that Lewandowski put things level, before he gave his side the lead from the penalty spot after 78 minutes. Thanks to his brace, Xavi Hernandez’s men claimed all three points to keep themselves within touching distance of Girona.



Barca are currently third in the LaLiga standings with 30 points, four shy of the surprising leaders. They’re also two points shy of Real Madrid, who emerged victorious in the Spanish Clasico a few weeks ago.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="655278b8f2b571abd7e484c0" data-title="Will Barcelona finish top of LaLiga?" data-options="2"></div>


<h2>What’s next for Barcelona</h2>



With the international break taking center stage, Barcelona won’t play until Saturday, November 25, when they visit Rayo Vallecano on Matchday 14 of LaLiga. From then on, Xavi’s side will enter a stretch of crucial fixtures.



On Nov. 28, they will host Porto in a crucial UEFA Champions League game. On Sunday, December 3, Barca will take on Atletico Madrid. The following week, they will come up against Girona with their league aspirations at stake. Three days later, they close the Champions League group stage against Antwerp.

Playing in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA </a>is not as easy as it seems. It can be difficult for some players to establish themselves with a franchise, and it is not easy to get a big contract. This has led some players to travel to Europe to play with teams like FC Barcelona.



It is not the first time that a former NBA player has played in the ACB, the league where FC Barcelona competes. However, it is not common for a big name to leave the NBA to play overseas unless they are already in the final stages of their career.



FC Barcelona recently won the ACB title, their second in three years. Unfortunately, they were unable to extend their Copa del Rey streak of two consecutive victories (2020-2021 and 2021-2022). They reached the quarterfinals in the 2022-2023 season.



<h2>Who was the former Boston Celtics player who signed with FC Barcelona?</h2>



According to FC Barcelona Basketball and Priority Sports, the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a> player who recently signed with FC Barcelona is Jabari Parker. He played for the Celtics for two seasons, from 2021 to 2022.

The 2022 form of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manchester City</a> has something in common with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fc-barcelona" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FC Barcelona’s</a> 2009 squad: both teams achieved the Treble with Pep Guardiola as manager. Now, Yaya Toure, an icon of both clubs, has made a bold comparison between those versions of his former teams, and his words may not be well-received.



Back in 2009, the whole world came to know Pep Guardiola. The Spanish manager led an incredible FC Barcelona squad, which was able to dominate every tournament in its path.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230610#BUS#8604"></div>


Thirteen years later, Guardiola led another team to success. Manchester City achieved the Treble in a memorable year for their fans, and the manager once again proved himself to the entire world.



<h2>Yaya Toure picks between 2022 Manchester City and 2009 FC Barcelona</h2>



Yaya Toure is considered as an absolut legend of FC Barcelona and Manchester City. The Ivorian midfielder won three leagues with the Spanish club, and eight more with the English side.



In his last season with Barcelona, Toure was a key piece for Pep Guardiola. The midfielder helped his team to win the Treble in 2009, with one of the most iconic and dominant clubs soccer world has ever seen.



Thirteen years later, Guardiola did it again, but this time with Manchester City. The club won its first Champions League this year under Pep’s management, boasting an incredible squad that posed a significant threat to its rivals.



Both squads will go down in history as two of the most dominant in soccer history. However, Yaya Toure, who is fondly remembered by both clubs, has made his personal favorite selection.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230702#BUS#22094"></div>


“It would be tough but that team [2009 FC Barcelona], with the mix of superstars, so many great players, I think they would win. 100 per cent,” Toure responded when asked which of the two clubs would win. “Thierry Henry, Messi, Samuel Eto’o, who was the best in the world. After that, Iniesta and Xavi. Then me and Busquets. That team was so complete.”

Manchester City had a great 2022-23 season. Finally, Pep Guardiola was able to win the Champions League with his team by defeating Inter in the final. However, he lost a key player after he had an amazing campaign.

Gundogan became a free agent once the season ended, giving FC Barcelona the opportunity to bolster its midfield. On the other hand, Guardiola is seeking a replacement for the German player, and it seems like he just found it.

City has lost one of the most important players they have had recently. Ilkay Gundogan, their captain, decided it was time for him to try a new challenge and joined FC Barcelona for the upcoming season.



The team will certainly feel his absence, but all hope is not lost for the 2022-23 Premier League champions. Guardiola is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches in soccer history, and he possesses a keen eye for selecting players for his clubs.



With Gundogan’s departure, it appears that the Spanish manager could seek revenge on FC Barcelona for snatching their captain by signing one of their prominent stars. The Blaugranas need to create some room in their salary cap, and this move could greatly assist them.



According to The Sun, Guardiola is really interested in signing Frenkie de Jong. The midfielder was connected to Manchester United last transfer window, but Barcelona was not interested in letting him go.



However, it seems like Gundogan’s arrival could make things easier for De Jong’s departure. The Culers have a lot of talent for the midfield, so they could move on from the Dutch player and also get some money for his transfer.

Unfortunately, De Jong is not really interested in this move. According to reports, Frenkie doesn’t like the city of Manchester, and that’s why he decided to stay in Barcelona instead of joining the Red Devils.
