Why Barcelona failed to sign Martinez

Here is what Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, has said about his side's failed move for Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez in the summer.

“I’ll tell you what happened. One day I called Marotta. He and I, no intermediaries. I told him I would have loved to have Lautaro on my team because I admire the guy so much,” Laporta said.

“But he didn’t even let me finish speaking. He made it clear the player wasn’t for sale and that it wouldn’t be up to him to decide whether or not to move.

“So I stopped the whole line of thought; there was no way to take it any further. Marotta and I have a relationship based on mutual trust. We didn’t go any further out of respect for him and for Inter.”

'I am surprised Aston Villa signed Chelsea star'

Aston Villa's decision to sign Alejandro Garnacho on loan from Chelsea does not sit well with Dean Saunders.

“If I’m being honest, I’m not a fan of Alejandro Garnarcho and his attitude. Look at what happened with him and Manchester United.

“When you look at his talent and ability, when I was playing football and we had talented players come in to train with us or sign for us, talent alone didn’t impress me.

“I wasn't impressed by people who can do tricks, juggle a ball and beat three men. I was more impressed with people who were hard to play against like Jamie Lawrence, who I played with at Bradford. No one liked playing against Jamie. He'd run through a brick wall, tackle someone, chase back, and defend.

“Some players have nowhere near the talent of Garnacho, but I’d be more impressed with someone who turns up every week, gives a seven-out-of-10 performance, works hard defensively, and provides quality in the final third. We can all do tricks and skills, but that consistent work rate is what you’re getting paid for.

“To be honest, I was surprised Villa signed him.”
