Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, has made a clear statement regarding the club’s stance on player transfers. In a recent interview with MD, Laporta emphasized the club’s desire to maintain its current squad without the need to sell any of its major players.
“We don’t want to sell any big player. If all goes to plan with our goals, we won’t be forced to sell any player,” Laporta stated. This declaration comes amidst speculation around the future of several key players at the club. Laporta’s comments suggest a strong intent to keep the core team intact for the foreseeable future.
However, Laporta also acknowledged the possibility of players wanting to leave the club. He assured that while the club is not keen on selling, they would not stand in the way of any player’s desire to exit. “Of course, if someone wants to leave, we won’t stop them; but I’m not worried at all with that, we want to keep the same squad,” he told MD.
This statement from the Barcelona president is a significant indication of the club’s strategy moving forward. It reflects a commitment to stability and continuity within the team, aiming to build on the current squad rather than seeking major changes through the transfer market.
