Wednesday's Barcelona transfer talk news roundup: Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Eric Garcia

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Barcelona on Wednesday, September 2.

The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Barcelona eye possible reinforcements.

The Spanish champions spent big on Antoine Griezmann last summer but missed out on a big-name striker in January and have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, meaning that selling players rather than buying could be their priority this summer.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news from the Camp Nou.

Wednesday morning's Barcelona transfer talk news roundup:


Barcelona striker Luis Suarez agrees personal terms with Juventus?

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez is reportedly close to joining Juventus after agreeing personal terms with the Italian champions.

New Barca head coach Ronald Koeman is rumoured to have informed the Uruguay international that he is no longer wanted at Camp Nou.

Juve were quick to pounce for Suarez and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, an agreement has already been reached between the two parties.

The Serie A giants will match the 33-year-old's current salary, it is claimed, and confirmation of the free transfer is believed to be imminent.

Inter Miami and Paris Saint-Germain had also been touted as possible destinations for Suarez.

Juve, who replaced head coach Maurizio Sarri with Andrea Pirlo last month, have also been tipped to move for Roma striker Edin Dzeko before the transfer window closes.



Barcelona 'to offer Lionel Messi new two-year deal'

Barcelona may reportedly offer Lionel Messi the opportunity to pen a new two-year contract.

Last week, the 33-year-old informed club officials that he wished to end his long-term association with the Catalan giants, feeling that he could depart on a free transfer.

This claim has been refuted by Barcelona, however, subsequently resulting in the relevant parties being at loggerheads over the past seven days.

Nevertheless, in a bid to resolve the situation, ESPN may be prepared to hand the 33-year-old a deal until 2022.

As it stands, that appears unlikely, with Messi said to be aiming for a reunion with former boss Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

Talks are allegedly due to take place between the player's father Jorge Messi and club president Josep Maria Bartomeu on Wednesday.
