FC Barcelona signed Rodri this summer to add a world-class midfielder to their squad, but his arrival has forced the club to send La Masia gem Marc Casado on loan to secure regular playing time this season.

Lionel Messi's international career included a perfect record at River Plate's Monumental, never once losing with Argentina at the historic venue.

With his brace against Rayo Vallecano, Lamine Yamal surpassed Lionel Messi while also turning into the youngest player in FC Barcelona's history to reach 50 goals.

With Lionel Messi's retirement from the Argentina national team, several players could be in line to inherit the iconic No. 10 shirt.

Folarin Balogun's move to Everton is reportedly in doubt after concerns emerged from his medical tests, with Monaco and the player's camp disputing the club's findings.

Lamine Yamal made a blunt assesment on Julian Alvarez' move to FC Barcelona: "We aren't lacking goals."

Julian Alvarez will remain at Atletico Madrid for at least the next six months, closing the door on a move to Barcelona, who have instead agreed to sign Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal.

Gabriel Jesus has completed his move to FC Barcelona, with the striker acknowledging that he may not play a central role in the team's growth.

The teenager has now broken a goalscoring barrier previously reached by some of the biggest young stars in European soccer, leaving Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland behind while also surpassing Messi’s early Barcelona record.

His situation has also attracted attention beyond Italy, with Tottenham reportedly having made a last-minute enquiry, but his immediate priority is getting back onto the pitch and proving he is ready for a major Serie A test.

The club is facing strict financial scrutiny, with the possibility of serious sporting consequences hanging over any future transfer activity.

Leandro Paredes hinted he could follow Lionel Messi's lead and step away from the Argentina national team, admitting a decision on his future won't be easy.

With a move from Chelsea to Manchester City in a reported fee of $169 million, Enzo Fernandez is set to turn into the fourth most expensive player in soccer history.

A message supposedly connected to the Portuguese superstar has begun circulating online, creating fresh intrigue around the final chapter of Messi's international story and the relationship between two players who defined an era.

The legendary forward's departure brings an end to an era defined by trophies, unforgettable moments, and a captain who became synonymous with the national team, while a new figure now appears ready to take on the responsibility.
