We want to respond to these needs, “he said.
However, he did not want to speak of Erling Haaland or other proper names. “You will allow me not to talk about players, we would be doing something that does not benefit us at all because talking about someone increases their value.

“We have enough margin to register Dani Alves, it will be done between today and tomorrow. And other signings will depend on the exits. With Ferran we have made an exception because it was worth signing him before even having ‘fair play’. And if we do those exits and when we have that ‘fair play’ we will see if any more operations are made. These steps will be followed until the market ends, “he said.

We have been in contact with their agents for five months, the situation is that they know the club’s situation very well, we have had a lot of patience and they know that we want them to It remains, it has a renewal offer.
