Barcelona president says summer will sign a new striker

Barcelona 's chairman Laporta said that Barcelona will introduce a new striker in the summer transfer window, but at the same time there will be players who need to leave.


The reporter asked whether Barcelona will sign new players in this summer transfer window and what plans the team has.


Laporta said: "We are over the salary ceiling, which makes things very difficult, so we can't buy any players. If there are strikers, there will be strikers and players will leave."


"The midfielders are doing very well at the moment, plus the players from the youth training, I believe it is enough for Harvey to use, but it would be safer to sign one more striker. However, financially, we do not have unlimited resources, so We have to proceed with caution."


At present, Barcelona has 5 centers, but only 2 have performed well, that is Lewandowski and Dembele. However, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres and Rafinha have all performed below expectations this season, so Laporta pointed out that the players who will leave may be among them.


Barcelona are said to be interested in new Brazilian striker Vitor Roque , though it's unclear whose departure could lead to Roque's signing.

When the reporter asked whether Messi would transfer to Barcelona, Laporta admitted that he did meet Messi's father and said: "We talked about the World Cup and Messi's tribute. Don't want to talk about whether he's coming back."


Regarding Messi's departure two years ago, Laporta said that he did not want Messi to leave at the time, but he had no other choice. They must abide by the principle of financial fairness, so Laporta chose Barcelona.
