Barcelona still hope to bring in another €150 million in player sales this summer as they continue to seek exits for Philippe Coutinho, Malcom and Rafinha Alcantara, sources at the club have told ESPN FC.

Bids would also be considered for Ivan Rakitic, Samuel Umtiti and Arturo Vidal, but Barca are not actively looking to move any of those players on at the moment.

The Spanish champions set a target of making more than €250m in sales in April, as revealed by ESPN FC, to help balance the club's accounts and fund moves for the likes of Frenkie de Jong and Antoine Griezmann. So far, they have received over €80m for Jasper Cillessen, Andre Gomes, Denis Suarez, Marc Cucurella, Marc Cardona and Sergi Palencia.

There has not yet been a single concrete offer for Coutinho, Malcom or Rafinha but Barca remain optimistic that bids will arrive.

Coutinho moved to Camp Nou for a fee which could rise to €160m but Barca are prepared to sell him for around €105m. Several teams have shown an interest through intermediaries but there have still been no bids.

One option Barcelona are contemplating is including him in a deal to bring Neymar back to the club from Paris Saint-Germain. Failing that, they hope a Premier League club will come in for him, although the transfer window in England closes on Aug. 8.

Malcom has hardly featured under coach Ernesto Valverde but still has plenty of suitors around Europe. Barcelona paid €40m to sign him from Bordeaux a year ago and are looking to sell for a similar amount. A source close to the player told ESPN FC there is "not yet a firm proposal [from any club] but things could move on once Barca return from Japan at the weekend."

Everton, who have a good relationship with Barcelona after signing Yerry Mina, Lucas Digne and Andre Gomes during the last 12 months, are one of the clubs who have asked about Malcom, while Arsenal and Napoli have also been linked with him.

Meanwhile, Rafinha has an agreement in place with Valencia but Los Che have not yet matched his €15m pricetag. Sources said that Fiorentina are also interested in the midfielder, who is out of contract in 2020 and whose father, Mazinho, played for the Italian club.

In terms of exits, there remains an internal debate about Rakitic. The Croatian has played an important role under Valverde but, at 31, some at the club feel it may be the right moment to cash in on him.

Umtiti has been linked to Manchester United but has benefitted from Barca missing out on Matthijs de Ligt, after the defender joined Juventus. There are currently only four centre-backs in the Barcelona first team, including unproven youngster Jean-Clair Todibo, but sources said the club would listen to any offers for Umtiti as they still have doubts about his left knee.

As for Vidal, Barcelona are delighted with his input since he joined but would think about letting him leave if a big offer came in. There's interest from China and Inter Milan but, as with the players previously mentioned, there have been no offers

Atletico Madrid have asked La Liga to block French forward Antoine Griezmann's move to Barcelona in a dispute over the transfer fee between the two clubs, according to the Spanish league's president Javier Tebas.

Spanish champions Barcelona announced the signing of Griezmann this month for €120 million ($133.75m) but Atletico complained that the Catalan club had not paid enough to trigger the player's release clause.

The buy-out clause had dropped from €200m to €120m on July 1, but Atletico claim that Griezmann's May 14 announcement that he was leaving the club is proof a deal was struck between the player and Barcelona much earlier.

"[Atletico] submitted a complaint and put in doubt whether we should pass Griezmann's licence to Barcelona," Tebas told Spanish radio station Onda Cero on Wednesday.

"There's a process that has been put in motion and those overseeing it will have to come to resolve the case.

"It is possible to block a player's transfer. La Liga will have to decide what course of action to take."

Griezmann has already played a friendly for his new club, a 2-1 defeat by Chelsea in Japan on Tuesday.

Matthijs de Ligt scored an own goal in his Juventus debut but Cristiano Ronaldo saved his blushes as the Italian champions drew 1-1 against Inter Milan before beating them 4-3 on penalties in an International Champions Cup exhibition in China on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old joined Juve from Ajax for €75m last week, spurning the likes of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain to sign with the Turin giants. However, his first start for the club resulted in him beating his own goalkeeper before being taken off at half-time amid a flurry of substitutions.

De Ligt's error came in just the 10th minute. From an Inter corner, his clumsy attempt at a clearance following a flicked-on header steered the ball into the back of the Juve net from close range.

Ronaldo hit back for Juve midway through the second half with a free kick from the left edge of the box that took a slight defection before heading into the top corner.

The game went to penalties and Inter's Andrea Ranocchia missed the first effort, seeing it saved by Gianluigi Buffon.

Joao Cancelo and Ronaldo scored either side of George Puscas for Juventus before Samuele Longo missed again for Inter, with Buffon turning his shot onto the post.

Emre Can coolly made it 3-1 and when Joao Mario cut the deficit, new signing Adrien Rabiot could have won it for Juve but blasted over.

Buffon let Nicolo Barella's kick through his arms and then Federico Bernardeschi missed to put things back on level terms.

Once again, Buffon came to the rescue with a save from Borja Valero and Merih Demiral stepped up to seal the win.

SHANGHAI -- In a different life, Victor Lindelof would not be The Iceman, Manchester United's cool, calm centre-back. Instead, he would wear the No. 10, not No. 2, and would try to make goals rather than stop them.

Growing up in Vasteras, a small city in central Sweden, Lindelof was an elegant attacking midfielder. Now he is an elegant centre-back -- a No. 10 trapped in a defender's body -- who has become central to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Old Trafford revolution.

The Norwegian wants the new United to play with more intensity. Pressing when they don't have the ball and pace when they do.

But he also wants his team to play out from the back and that's where Lindelof comes in. Skills learned playing further forward as a teenager are now being showcased from the centre of United's defence. He can defend -- he expertly marshalled Cristiano Ronaldo when Juventus visited Old Trafford in October -- but he can also pass. And he does it very well.

"I was a midfielder when I was young," Lindelof tells ESPN FC in an exclusive interview.

"I haven't been a defender for long. I think maybe that's why I am comfortable on the ball because I started as a No. 10, then a two-way midfielder, then a No. 6 and now I'm a defender.

"Maybe that's why I like to have the ball and why I'm comfortable with it.

"I like to have the ball at my feet. I'm comfortable with it. That's not a problem for me and I like to play football that way."

He is good defender and was one of United's best players during a disappointing season last year. But was he a good No. 10?

"Yes," he says with a smile.

"But when I was younger. I scored a lot of goals. I don't score a lot of goals now. It was fun to play as a No. 10. I could do whatever I wanted. But I was young, maybe 13. It was fun. In my head sometimes I'm still a No. 10. I like to pass. I don't have that instinct any more of shooting. Now I'd rather set up my teammates for a goal."

Lindelof has travelled to Australia and the Far East as one of Solskjaer's key men.

There is an expectation that United will eventually sign Harry Maguire if Leicester compromise over their £90 million asking price but even that has not raised doubts about Lindelof's place.

He is already one of six centre-backs on the tour along with Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Marcos Rojo and Axel Tuanzebe. Maguire would make seven but, as things stand, they are all competing for the place alongside Lindelof.

"I like the competition," he said "I love it, actually. I think it's great for a club to have that competition. If you have good players in your position you have to work hard every day, especially in training, and that helps a team to go to the next level as well.

"For me it's perfect. I like it. I think everyone at this club wants to be at the highest level. I'm very good friends with them all. In training we compete and then off the pitch we are friends. That's how it should be."

It has not always been like that. Signed from Benfica for £31 million in 2017, Jose Mourinho handed the Swede his debut in a humbling Super Cup defeat to Real Madrid. But he had to wait more than two months to make his Premier League debut -- often watching games from the stands -- and then came a personal low in a nightmare performance in a defeat to Huddersfield that raised questions about his suitably for English football.

That debate has long ended but during that difficult first season, did he ever have doubts about whether he had made the right move?

"Never," he says with the same steely look he gets when he ploughs through a centre-forward before strolling away with the ball.

"I'm very confident in myself. It's just the way I am, the way I was raised. I know the type of player I am, I know the type of person I am. I've always been like that and it was never a problem for me."

The way Lindelof played last season, and the style in which he did it, sparked speculation about a summer move to Barcelona but -- unlike teammates Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku -- he has been quick to put the transfer talk to bed.

"I'm not the kind of person who thinks about that," he said.

"I'm here, I'm very happy here. That's my focus. Manchester United is my club. I represent this club with great honour."

Next up for United -- weather permitting -- is a Premier League taster against Tottenham in Shanghai on Thursday. It will see Lindelof come up against Harry Kane, fresh from scoring from the halfway line against Juventus, and hand the 25-year-old another chance to show how much progress he has made since arriving in Manchester and how important he has become to Solskjaer.

"It's preseason, we want to get fitter and we want to improve," he said

"We take it game by game. Of course, it's good to win. It's a game of football and you always want to win. [Kane is] a good player. It's always fun to play against good players. I've played against a lot of good players. He's very clever and he's got good movements.

"I've been at this level for a couple of years now. It's been a great ride and hopefully I can keep improving. I'm just trying to become a better player. That's what I work hard for every day and for me to be at this club it's a great honour but I still think I can improve a lot."

The BCB will host two T20Is between an Asia XI and a World XI in March 2020, as part of the extensive nationwide celebrations to commemorate the birth centenary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's founding father.

BCB president Nazmul Hassan said that they are looking for the "best current cricketers" for the two sides, and expected many of their desired players to be available as only two teams are scheduled to be involved in international cricket by that time.

Sheikh Mujib was born on March 17, 1920, and every year his birth anniversary is celebrated through a national holiday. Because of the birth centenary next year, the government is chalking up big plans for celebrations, which will include cricket matches.

"There will be a matter of availability if they [the players] have international duties," Hassan said. "I think only two teams will be busy at the time, but they won't be playing T20s, so we might get their T20 players. We are looking for the best players among the current lot, and because the games will have international status, everyone will be serious about it."

Hassan said that during the ICC meeting last week, the members had unanimously allowed these two games to have international status although the regulation only allows such matches to get the international status if it involves a Full Member nation playing the game.

"They made a special dispensation for Bangladesh, but they said it is only a one-off that such a match will get international status," Hassan said. The matches will be held between March 18 and 21 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.

Harry Gurney, the English left-arm seamer, will return to the Big Bash this winter after signing up for another season at the Melbourne Renegades, where he won the title in his first year in the competition.

Gurney, who played 12 white-ball internationals for England back in 2014, enjoyed a successful first season on the global T20 circuit last winter, playing for the Renegades, Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League, and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.

As a replacement for Usman Shinwari, he played nine games for the Renegades last season, taking ten wickets with a miserly economy rate of 7.17 despite bowling half his overs at the death.

In the tournament's dramatic final, in which the Stars collapsed from 93 for 0 to 132 for 7 in pursuit of 146, he took 1 for 20 from his four overs.

Speaking to ESPNcricinfo's Talking T20 podcast, Gurney described winning the 2018-19 edition of the tournament as a "huge career highlight".

"The Big Bash was a really special one for me," he said. "It's a competition I've admired from a distance for many years.

"To get a chance just to play in it I was over the moon with, so to go over there, play a key role, win a Man-of-the-Match award, and perform consistently and go on and win that trophy was a huge career highlight for me.

"I [usually] bowled one over in the Powerplay, one in the middle, and two at the death, and bowled really well at the death, going at sevens. That's sort of where I've built my reputation."

Gurney, 32, said that he is at the stage of his career where team success comes before individual targets.

"At my age, it's just about winning trophies - those are the best days of your life, so you want to recreate that as much as you can while you're still playing. Your focus becomes more team-based once you become more assured of your spot in the side.

"Early on in your career, you're focused on yourself and making your way in the game, you want to go on and play for England. Once you become a bit old and decrepit like me, you just want to win trophies really."

The regular season in this year's Big Bash has been condensed from 54 days to 42, in part to attract more high-profile overseas players who stay for the duration of the competition.

Last season, several teams used three or four overseas players over the course of the competition, with two players splitting one spot depending on their availability. Competition organisers will hope that Gurney's deal - which lasts the whole tournament - is a sign of things to come.

Chandika Hathurusingha's return as Bangladesh's head coach is closer to becoming reality after Nazmul Hassan, the Bangladesh Cricket Board president, said he could become a candidate for the job after the Sri Lanka-Bangladesh ODI series. Khaled Mahmud will be the coach of the team in an interim capacity for the Sri Lanka series, after Bangladesh parted ways with Steve Rhodes at the end of their World Cup campaign.

Hathurusingha had been Bangladesh coach between 2014 and 2017, and the only thing that seemingly stands in the way of his return to that position is the manner of his exit from the Sri Lanka set-up, which remains unclear. Hassan, one of Hathurusingha's biggest supporters during his Bangladesh stint, said the BCB is unable to talk to Hathurusingha and some of their other candidates right now, as they are involved in their current jobs. The BCB president also said the board would prefer a coach with previous experience of working with a subcontinent team.

"We have started the process to find a head coach, a fast-bowling coach and a physio," Hassan said. "Since the ODI series is about to begin, we are not allowed to talk to Hathurusingha. He will become a candidate when there's a break after this series, if he expresses his wish to come. We want a coach as soon as possible. We are in talks but some of the coaches are still involved in their present jobs.

"My first preference is that the coach must have national team coaching experience. We are also looking for someone who has previous experience with subcontinent teams. We are looking for coaches outside those who applied [for the coaching position] too. Top coaches have to be contacted through agents, so we are pretty much using all our avenues."

Hathurusingha still has around 16 months to go in his contract with Sri Lanka Cricket, the early termination of which is understood to come with a hefty severance package. Last week matters came closer to a resolution, when Sri Lanka's Sports Ministry handed SLC a written directive demanding the resignation of the national team's coaching staff.

SLC CEO Ashley De Silva was tightlipped on the matter, simply stating that the board would have to comply with any directive by the sports ministry, as per Sri Lanka's sports law.

"We have to abide by the sports law, and when the sports minister gives a directive we're compelled to abide by those directives," De Silva told ESPNcricinfo. "So this is something we're looking at, we've had discussions about it internally, and our executive committee will need to have a discussion with the minister about how to proceed and take it forward from there.

"We know there will be a lot of speculation until then, but since it's a very sensitive area we don't want to make a statement until a final decision has been made. We don't know if Hathurusingha is okay with resigning, we'll only know after we speak to him. He's aware of the current situation, but we haven't had a discussion with him as yet, so we just have to wait and see."

When questioned on the matter earlier this week, Hathurusingha kept his cards close to his chest. "As far as I am concerned, I haven't heard from anybody relevant to me that there's going to be a change in the coaching staff," he stated on Monday. "I have to just wait for what they're going to tell me and then I will make my decision."

Hathurusingha remains a favourite for the BCB president Hassan, though, who said that he likes coaches who have a win-at-all-cost attitude. "Everyone has a different coaching technique, style and thinking. We also have a thinking. I don't want to say much but some coaches feel that there's no point being serious about a game. But we also had coaches who wanted to win at any cost," said Hassan, who also came down heavily on Rhodes' tenure.

Nazmul Hassan, president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, has come down heavily on Steve Rhodes' one-year tenure as coach of the national team. Hassan alleged that Rhodes did not seem serious enough about winning as a coach, did not push the players hard during a pre-World Cup preparation camp in Leicester, and was not involved in strategic matters. Rhodes did not respond to ESPNcricinfo when contacted about these allegations.

Rhodes was appointed Bangladesh coach in June 2018, with his contract set to run until next year's T20 World Cup. However, the BCB and Rhodes parted ways earlier this month, following the team's eighth-place finish at the 2019 World Cup in England.

Hassan said that the players had told him they did not get to speak to Rhodes, and that he did not address team strategies.

"We arranged for a practice camp before the World Cup, but nobody came. There was a cultural mismatch. He assumed that every player will practice on their own, but since our players heard it was optional, no one turned up. So there was no use making all that arrangement spending so much money."

"I saw the changes [in the style of coaching] when I was in Dubai for the Asia Cup final. We saw that things have changed. We waited. The players have told me continuously - after the New Zealand tour and also during the World Cup - that they don't get to speak to the coach.

"He only lands in the team meeting on the day before the game. He doesn't talk about strategy. He is just there. This is what the players have told me. I am telling you after listening to everyone. I never had a direct interaction. But from what I have seen, I felt that he doesn't match with us."

Hassan believed that a five-day break for the team during their World Cup campaign -in the eight-day gap between their matches against Afghanistan and India - affected the concentration of the players, even though the team had been given a break to freshen up. He claimed that players had gone to Europe and expressed his surprise that nobody had informed him or the board directors Akram Khan (present with the World Cup squad as cricket operations chairman) and Khaled Mahmud (team manager) of the break. However, the players had been informed of the break by the team management, led by Mahmud. and none of them visited Europe.

"There was a five-day holiday before the India game," Hassan said. "There's a difference between giving rest and a break. Everyone had left, so it broke their concentration. Maybe it is fine in their culture, but we feel that it doesn't match with our culture.

"Ahead of matches against two tough opponents, how does it feel to know that your players have gone to Europe? It is not acceptable. I don't care what anyone is saying. I don't think it was the right decision. You can give rest for two or three days. Their eyes and face should have said that they were thinking about the World Cup, the next two games. They haven't matured as cricketers to come back from this type of break."

"The biggest surprise was that I didn't know that the team was on holiday. It hasn't happened before. This was definitely a lapse but I am not singling out anyone. We had Akram [Khan] and [Khaled Mahmud] Sujon who were there but they also didn't know. They heard about it after the break was given, so how did it benefit us?"

Hassan claimed that captain Mashrafe Mortaza and wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim were added to the squad on the morning of the team's last game against Pakistan, despite them carrying injuries.

"The night before the Pakistan game, I was with the players till 11.30pm. Mushfiq, with his hand in a sling, was telling me that he couldn't move his hand," Hassan said. "He was not in the squad. Mashrafe didn't practice the day before, and neither did he attend strategy meetings. He was also out of that game. These are just two examples.

"We had fixed the squad in the presence of the coach and everyone. But the next day we saw another team playing the game. These things haven't happened in the past. This is definitely a problem. We have decided that it won't work like this. We are not saying he is not good but the way the team was running, it was totally different from our thinking."

Niroshan Dickwella, Danushka Gunathilaka, Lakshan Sandakan and Lahiru Madushanka have missed the cut, as Sri Lanka announced their finalised squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Bangladesh which starts on July 26.

As such there will be six changes to the squad that travelled to England for the World Cup, with Shehan Jayasuriya, Wanindu Hasaranga, Akila Dananjaya, Amila Aponso and Lahiru Kumara all coming in. Dasun Shanaka, meanwhile, is set to play from the second ODI onwards as a replacement for the retiring Lasith Malinga.

Of the newcomers, Jayasuriya, Kumara and Hasaranga have the best chance of being included in the side for the first ODI. Jayasuriya, who is also a part-time offspinner, impressed in the warm-up game with a gritty fifty, legspin-bowling-allrounder Hasaranga had a wicket to go with an impressive 28-run cameo, and pacer Lahiru Kumara was the pick of the Sri Lankan bowlers in largely unhelpful bowling conditions.

Dananjaya, who is the only specialist spinner in the squad, will also likely feature, though Aponso's superior batting may figure in the minds of selectors.

Among those who missed out, Dickwella, who was out for three-ball duck in the warm-up, and Gunathilaka, who squandered an impressive start, will rue a missed opportunity to get back into the first-team fold. Both Sandakan and Madushanka, though, can count themselves a touch more unfortunate. Despite being named in the original 22-man squad, Sandakan wasn't even named in warm-up side, while Madushanka, who has impressed with the emerging team and was name-checked by captain Dimuth Karunaratne earlier this week, was available to play but featured neither as a bowler nor batsman.

Sri Lanka's finalised squad for Bangladesh ODIs: Dimuth Karunaratne (capt), Kusal Perera, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Lahiru Thirimanne, Shehan Jayasuriya, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Akila Dananjaya, Amila Aponso, Lasith Malinga, Nuwan Pradeep, Kasun Rajitha, Lahiru Kumara, Thisara Perera, Isuru Udana.
