Four Barcelona players are reportedly against the idea of the Spanish La Liga leaders re-signing their former captain Lionel Messi.

According to El Nacional, the four players opposing Barcelona’s plan to bring Messi back to the club are Robert Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ousmane Dembele, and Marc Andre-Ter-Stegen.

The report added that Lewandowski wants to be the star of Barcelona and lead their attack next season.

But the Poland international knows that he will have to adjust his style to suit Messi’s style or suffer a similar fate to that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a former Barcelona striker.

Fati has had the number 10 jersey since Messi’s departure from Barcelona to join Paris Saint-Germain.

The Spaniard, who is reluctant to let go of the jersey, knows his future at Barcelona is already in the balance and the belief is that he will be sold to make space.

Dembele is reportedly against Messi’s return because he will have to make a way in the starting XI. The France international wants to start every week and knows it will be impossible with the Argentina World Cup winner in the squad.

Ter Stegen, meanwhile, has not had a good relationship with Messi. The German goalkeeper had issues with the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner and believes Barcelona manager Xavi will take away his captaincy (4th choice) once Messi arrives at Camp Nou.

Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro, has explained why he won’t stay one more year at the club.

The 34-year-old is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the current season.

The Brazilian, however, had been urged by the club’s fans to extend his contract by one more year due to his brilliant display for Michael Carrick’s side this term.

Speaking on the development, Casemiro told ESPN Brasil, “There is no chance [for me to stay one more year].

“It is leaving through the front door. It has been four wonderful years, and I am eternally grateful not only to the club but to the fans.

“I think it is over. The cycle has ended here. I am moving on to a new chapter in my career.”

The result means Pep Guardiola’s men are now five points behind Arsenal, but they have one game in hand.

Rooney believes the Gunners will beat West Ham this weekend and go on to be champions.

He said on BBC Sport: “No, I’m concerned for West Ham. I just think Arsenal are efficient and professional.

“I just think they will win every game. So obviously, with the result tonight, that means they will win the league.”

Chelsea legend, Petr Cech, has advised his old club on how to win the UEFA Champions League or the English Premier League.

Chelsea are already out of the Premier League title race this season, and they are at risk of missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification for next season because they are currently not in the ninth position on the Premier League table.

Speaking to The Athletic about Chelsea, Cech said that the Blues need to change their philosophy of signing only young players if they want to win the Premier League or Champions League.

According to the former goalkeeper, the Premier League west London club needs to add experienced players to mentor the young players in the squad.

“You have to look at what you want to achieve. You can have young, talented players, and you can win, but it’s very rare that you manage to do that,” he said.

“If you want to win every season and compete every season, that does not go together.

“You have to change your philosophy. Certain things don’t go together because, in order to win a Champions League or a Premier League… these are really tough competitions, and you have to be consistent.

“You need to have a strong core of the team. And then you can bring young, talented players who will grow faster and then will be held by the experienced players to help navigate them through difficult times when they come.”

Currently, Chelsea have just one player, Tosin Adarabioyo, who is over 28 this season, and the defender has not been playing regularly.
