Barça Rumors Central (from L to R): Sofiane Feghouli, Riyad Mahrez, and Neymar.

The summer transfer window had just closed but still there are several rumors regarding the future plans of Luis Enrique to recuperate from the recent loss of their star backup forward Pedro to Premier League champs Chelsea.

Barça will rival Manchester United for Valencia winger Sofiane Feghouli: Enrique is reportedly "ready to step up" its bid for Valencia's 25-year-old attacking midfielder when the transfer window reopens in January.

The Algeria international is allegedly having problems negotiating for an extension with the Spanish side as he is still on loan with Almería since 2011.

A lot of teams are said to be interested in the Levallois-Perret, France native, foremost of which are Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal. Verdict: Fact.

Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez in Enrique's crosshairs: Another Algeria international is in the sights of Enrique as the Catalonian giants are also reportedly considering a move for the 24-year-old winger in January.

TalkSport indicated that Barça is in competition with English clubs Chelsea and Arsenal and a few Ligue 1 clubs in France. Verdict: Fact. 

Barcelona ready to pay Neymar £150 million to stay at Camp Nou: The Telegraph reported that Barça is preparing a £500,000 per week deal for the Seleção captain to persuade him to stay in Spain after speculations that Man United is targeting him in January.

Neymar was quick to deny the Red Devils rumors and it is highly unlikely that the 23-year-old winger would look to go elsewhere as he is experiencing massive success together with Messi, Suarez, and company at the moment.

Enrique is also highly unlikely to give that big of an offer to Neymar at this stage of his career. Verdict: Fiction.
