Unai Emery all but confirms Denis Suarez signing

Denis Suarez's time at Barcelona is finally coming to an end. The Spanish midfielder is reportedly set to join Arsenal and their manager, Unai Emery has all but confirmed.

“We need wingers and Suárez, who I know, has this quality. The physical side of the English game? I do not know how he will cope. It is a challenge for him, and also it will be a challenge for him to help us,” said Emery to reporters.

Reports suggest that it will be a loan deal with an option to buy.

Memphis Depay wants Real Madrid move

Netherlands v France - UEFA Nations League A

Leaving Manchester United for Lyon was the best thing Memphis Depay ever did. The Dutchman has regained his confidence, his PSV form and is now looking for the next big challenge.

The forward has expressed his interest in leaving Lyon and has also named the clubs he wishes to join. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich but Los Blancos are said to be his prefered destination.

“I want a new transfer to a top-level club this summer. Lyon is a big club but it's not one of the five best in Europe,” Depay told in an interview with Dutch magazine, Helden.

“I want to go to a club like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich. I want to go to a city that suits me and a club that suits me, to a team that really wants to play football.”

He also said:

"I always talk about Real Madrid, a royal club. White and gold shirts."

Manchester United, despite not being on Depay's list of prefered clubs, do have a buy-back clause on his contract at Lyon.

Jordi Alba agrees new contract at Barcelona

Jordi Alba has got his wishes. The left-back was desperate to sign a new deal at Barcelona and reports suggest that he has agreed terms with the Catalan side.

The 29-year-old has been openly asking the club for a new contract and they have finally offered him one. The left-back is now reportedly set to continue at Camp Nou for the next 5 years!

This comes just a day after Joseph Bartomeu confirmed that he wants Alba to stay at the club. “I want both [Ernesto] Valverde and Jordi Alba to continue with us and they both have a contract. I have already told Alba that I want him to continue with us for five more years,” said the president.

His current deal was set to expire at the end of the 2019/20 season. But with the new deal, he is set to stay at the club until the summer of 2024.
