Cesare Prandelli resigns as Valencia coach
Prandelli leaves with Valencia fourth from bottom of the LA Liga table with just 12 points from 15 matches.
Barcelona have begun negotiations with Brazil's Fluminense to secure a permanent deal for on-loan defender Marlon Santos, according to media reports.
The 21-year-old centre-back has impressed Barcelona coach Luis Enrique since joining the Catalan club in July on a one-year loan.
After a string of impressive performances for the Barcelona B team, Santos was promoted to the first-team squad last month and made his debut as a second-half substitute in the Catalan giants' 2-0 away victory over Celtic in the UEFA Champions League.
Barcelona are hoping to secure Santos on a long-term contract for two million euros, Globo Esporte reported.
A product of Vasco da Gama's youth academy, Marlon joined Fluminense in 2013 and made 69 appearances for the Rio de Janeiro club. He has represented Brazil at U-20 and U-23 level.
