„Barcelona“ continues to search for another striker, and also wants to sign a new contract with Neymar - confirmed the team's president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
After the ban on purchasing new players ends this winter, Bartomeu confirmed that the club will look into the possibility of leasing a striker during this transfer window.
„The coach and technical staff want a striker. The player should arrive with a lease agreement and the option to be bought at the end of the season,“ - Bartomeu admitted in an interview with Sport.
Another priority for „Barcelona“ at the moment is to reach an agreement with the team's star Neymar regarding a new contract.
„In recent days, I have been talking a lot with his father and the player himself. We acknowledge that we are paying Neymar less than he deserves to earn, so we have started negotiations for an improved contract. I am confident that in the coming months we will reach an agreement with Neymar. He embodies the future of „Barca“ and I am not the only one who thinks so,“ - revealed the president of „Barcelona“ when speaking about Neymar.
This season in the Champions League and „La Liga“ competitions, Neymar has already scored 16 goals and provided 8 assists.
