Robin van Persie: "I've always wanted to play for Barcelona, and I've always hoped it would come true, and I've always wondered if it was possible for it to become a reality because it's a real dream of mine.

I remember there was a brief interest from Barcelona six months after my move to Fenerbahçe... and I was hoping the deal would go through.

It would have been great if the move had gone through, but my agent called me and said, "It's not going to happen."

🗣 Agent: The reason was timing. Barcelona had doubts about his fitness at Fenerbahçe.

If he had stayed at Manchester United, Barcelona wouldn't have had those doubts, and the move would have gone through. Moving from Manchester United to Barcelona is different from moving to Fenerbahçe."

Yoane Wissa has reiterated he will not play for Brentford again. The forward has rejected moves to Tottenham, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest and only wants Newcastle United. Brentford will sanction an exit once they identify a replacement. (CraigHope_DM)

Bryan Mbeumo has already approved their move for Ollie Watkins - who could be the Red Devils' own Mo Salah. Watkins, 29, played alongside Mbeumo for then-Championship side Brentford in the 2019-20 season.

"Said would be Roberto Firmino, very attacking, a good finisher. I think it would be hard to say who is who among Mo Salah and Sadio Mane but I would probably be Mane and Ollie would be Salah."
