“The market closes on the 31st (August). Lots of things can happen. Hopefully we can strengthen ourselves further. We have shortcomings. The sports management knows it and the president knows it.

Xavi believes he is far from Real Madrid
According to the Spanish media, the former midfielder believes that his squad still needs a right-back and a defensive midfielder. He does not want to tinker and wants to field specialists in each position in order to be competitive on all fronts, and especially in Europe, where the Catalans have had a lot of difficulties lately. The media adds that for the moment, it is complicated from a financial point of view, even if the departure of Dembélé in Paris could free up funds and payroll.
