🤑 Transfer gossip: Barça and Man City swap deal? Coutinho to Spurs? | OneFootball

It’s Good Friday and to celebrate, here is a good batch of transfer gossip.

Real Talk 👏

Barcelona are keen on Manchester City’s João Cancelo and the right-back could head to Camp Nou, with compatriot Nélson Semedo moving in the opposite direction, according to the Telegraph.

Mario Götze has officially announced he will be leaving Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season.

Sky Germany report that Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz would prefer to join Bayern Munich over a move to the Premier League in the summer.

And Chelsea winger Pedro has been offered the chance to join Roma this summer, according to The Mirror.

Fake News 😡

The Mirror reckon Tottenham could “enter the race” to sign Barcelona’s Philippe Coutinho this summer. We’re pretty sure Spurs have already been linked with him about 8,000 times in the last two weeks, haven’t they?

Meanwhile, former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has warned Frank Lampard against signing Coutinho because he doesn’t see how the Brazilian would get into the team. Thanks Frank!

French outlet Foot Mercato claim Manchester United and Arsenal are both interested in Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso.

And former Barcelona forward Rivaldo has tipped Real Madrid to sign Kylian Mbappé this summer.

With respect to Rivaldo, we’re taking claims like that with a pinch of salt until further notice.

Funniest rumour of the day 😂

Lionel Messi has taken to Instagram to brand rumours linking him with moves to Inter Milan and Newell’s Old Boys as “fake news”.

“This is fake news and the same is true for the media reports about Newell’s,” he wrote.

“Both are false. Fortunately nobody believes them.”

So there you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth.
