Josep Maria Bartomeu has talked about to the actuality of the FC Barcelona, and has revealed that the negotiations for Neymar Jr and Lautaro Martínez are stopped in these moments

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The president of the FC Barcelona has touched multiple subjects during the extensive interview that has conceded to the newspaper 'Sport', and one of them has been, as it could not be of another way, the one of the possible signings of Neymar Jr and Lautaro Martínez. They are the two names that more times have linked to the Barcelona club like futuribles to reinforce the forward, although the most likely is that any of the two land in the Barça this summer.

Like this of clear has explained it Bartomeu, signalling that both negotiations are stopped and that, regarding the Brazilian, the FC Barcelona does not have foreseen to bid by his in the short term given services the high price that has planted him Paris Saint-Germain. "In this situation, is unfeasible. Neither the PSG wants to sell it, is normal because it is one of the best players of the world", remembers the maximum mandator culé.

"The Barça has spoken with the Inter of Lautaro during several weeks, but the conversations are stopped"

"The past summer try it with many win, but this summer there will be any attempt. The situation is the one who is: the club has left of ingresar 200 million euros between March and June. And the season 2020-21 foresaw ingresar 1.100 millions, but surely will have a 30 percent less. If it does not improve the situation of the pandemia, there will be public neither museum neither shops and will follow losing money. It forces us to a big rigour in the management: it is necessary to review which investments are indispensable and which can expect. It is necessary to adapt", informs Bartomeu to the barcelonismo.

In this sense, seems that the signings multimillionaires of more than 100 million euros will take long in going back to become the norm. "I think so. Unless they do exchanges of players. All the big European clubs are affected. All work to adapt . And this does not go to last a year, but three or four", thinks the president culé.

Lautaro Martínez himself is a clear aim of the FC Barcelona of face to the future, but is unlikely that arrive to the Camp Nou this summer. It will be necessary to try it, therefore, in summer of 2021. "The Barça has spoken with the Inter of Lautaro during several weeks, but the conversations are stopped with one accord with the Inter. The situation does not invite to do big investments", insist 'Barto'.

Pjanic, a signing of luxury for the medullary

Finally, it shows convinced that one of the signings of the FC Barcelona this year 2020, Miralem Pjanic, will adapt without problems to the Barcelona ecosystem. "Already we follow it from it did time. But it does years could not be, because the club did not want to it sell. He always was loved with the possibility to come to the Barça. It has not been a signing surprise. It goes to consolidate easily like an important player". We expect that like this it was.
