Renowned player agent Jorge Mendes has a close relationship with Barcelona president Joan Laporta, which has resulted in their cooperation on transfers on more than one occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jorge Mendes was Ansu Fati’s agent and successfully secured his release from Barcelona on loan to French club Monaco, resolving a dilemma that had been troubling everyone at the Catalan club due to the Spanish winger’s high salary and Hansi Flick’s reluctance to rely on him next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barcelona is still looking for new players amid Financial Fair Play restrictions that limit the ability of sporting director Deco to make super deals to bolster weak positions such as the left winger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deal for Nico Williams fell through precisely for these reasons: the player didn’t want to risk not being registered in La Liga, as happened with Dani Olmo last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amid all of Barcelona’s market activity, Jorge Mendes has offered one of his players to Barcelona and Manchester City for signing during the current summer transfer window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Paris Saint-Germain is looking to sell Marco Asensio permanently this summer and has tasked Jorge Mendes with finding a destination for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agent offered the Spanish winger to Barcelona and Manchester City, hoping to find a solution for Asensio after he showed some form for Aston Villa last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The winger was also offered to Inter Milan, who were close to signing him in the winter transfer window before Aston Villa acquired him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, the Italian team has renewed its interest and is considering a move. The Spanish international’s wage demands pose a problem for the Nerazzurri, who are relying on a salary cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manchester City have shown no willingness to make a move, even though Asensio’s current contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in the summer of 2026 and the French club would not demand a large transfer fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inter Milan are leading the race, and everything will likely depend on whether the 29-year-old agrees to a salary cut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
