We Won’t Even Try To Sign Neymar – Barcelona’s President, Bartomeu

Barcelona have been hit with the pandemic effect as they are financially down. Club president Bartomeu has stated that the Catalan team won’t attempt signing Neymar. He says the club may not be financially stable for at least another four years.

The President further made it clear that Barcelona would not even attempt to sign Neymar or even Lautaro Martinez as he predicts possible transfer drought. The Catalan giants have made several attempts land both players at the Camp Nou in recent seasons, but they won’t be pressing further in the transfer window.

Both players were earlier considered as possible replacement for Luis Suarez as the club continues their search for a long-term striker. According to the club president Bartomeu, the situation is a serious one as the team may not be able to bring out money to sign players for another four years. He told SunSport that:

 “Barca have spoken to Inter about Lautaro over the last few weeks but the conversations have been put on hold by mutual consent.”  “The current situation doesn’t allow for major transfer fees “In the current situation, PSG don’t want to sell (Neymar) either, which makes sense as he’s one of the best players in the world”.  “Last summer we tried really hard to sign him but this summer we won’t even try.”
