PSG to sign Barcelona target as 'revenge', Former Real Madrid player interested in Barca move, and more Barcelona transfer news: 30 January 2019
Barcelona face off against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night, hoping to overturn their 2-0 deficit from the first leg.
We may also see one player leave the club even before the match starts, while Barca are also linked with a few other players.
Here is all the Barcelona news and rumors of 30th January, 2019:
#1 Denis Suarez to Arsenal to be confirmed today
It seems that Arsenal will finally get Denis Suarez, as the Barcelona midfielder is set to move on loan to the Gunners later today.
Spanish journalist Guillem Balague all but confirmed the move, saying Arsenal will have to pay the Catalans €2.3 million as a loan fee, and that Arsenal can buy him at the end of the season for €25 million, although it isn't a deal that Arsenal have to compulsorily complete.
The report also states that Suarez will sign an extension to his contract which means that his contract will expire in 2021.
The Spanish midfielder is reportedly in London and will undergo a medical today. Suarez has previously played under Arsenal manager Unai Emery, when the two were in Spanish club, Sevilla.
Emery spoke about the Barca midfielder but said that the switch to the Premier League will be a challenge for him: “We need wingers. I know Denis because he played with me at Seville. It will be a challenge for him.”
