The president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laportaspoke about the transfer market in an interview with RAC-1. Laporta gave new clues about the priority incorporation of the center forward, insinuating that Lewandowski and Wrong are the real options ahead of Haaland and Mbappé, whose name slipped, despite the fact that the bluagrana club does not even contemplate it.
Laporta did not want to go into details about “great players” like Lewandowski and Salah, leaving the conversations up in the air, but he did He was resounding with Haaland, practically ruling out his signing: “In the economic conditions that have been discussed, I wouldn’t even do it if I could. You have to sign under a reasoning that is now far away.” The president added that he has not met with Haaland in Marbella as had been speculated and that “I didn’t stay with him nor anyone around him”.
Regarding other market issues, he was receptive to a barter between Adama and Trincao with the Wolves, “it would be a good option”, in addition to confirming the interest in Raphina from Leeds“we have very good reports”.
Deco, the former Barça player, is mediating in the operation and Laporta denied that the Portuguese is acting as the player’s representative and working for the club at the same time: “Deco is not paid by Barça, he does his job as agent. He informs us and thanks to him we haven’t messed up any operations.”
Without naming them, Laporta confirmed the signings of Christensen and Kessié, “we have two players tied up” and revealed that last summer “the change between Joao Feliz and Griezmann was attempted, but it could not be”.
