The transfer saga around captain Crystal Peles Mark Gay has gained a new twist.

Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhich had been eyeing the 25-river central reserve as a priority target for strengthening its defense, decided to slow down the negotiations. The reason was the high financial wealth of the Englishman, as the Catalan club is not ready to satisfy.

Barcelona sporting director Deco and head coach Hansi Flick identified Gaia as the ideal partner for young talent Pau Kubarsi. After the last round of contacts with representatives of the Grave, it became clear that asking for a salary would significantly exceed Barcelona's limits.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the situation is complicated, so negotiations are underway. Real Madrid also had a similar share, which also supported the idea of \u200b\u200bsigning a defender through a high rate of return.

As the Spanish giants advance, other contenders will be eliminated from the game: Liverpool will continue to employ a long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk in Gaia. The Merseysiders were already close to the signing of the last summer's champion, and their interest was no longer strengthened by the uncertainty with the contract of Ibrahim Konate.

Manchester City's leadership aims to freshen up the team's defensive line, and the 25-strong English team itself is seen as a priority target for improving the defense.

Bavaria officially confirmed that the market is growing. Munich's sporting director Max Eberl stated that the club wants to extend the contract of Dayo Upamecano, otherwise things will not happen, they will act urgently, and Mark will be included in the list of potential replacements.

Gaia's contract with the London club runs until the summer of 2026. Zakhisnik has already informed the Eagles that he does not plan to sign a new agreement. Place Crystal Peles in the camp: so as not to let the captain go unscathed, who will have to be sold in the near future.
