After Barcelona's victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Joan Gamper Trophy, coach Xavi Hernandez spoke on 'TV3', addressing various topics including the future of Ansu Fati and the potential return of Neymar to the club. However, Xavi couldn't provide definite answers to these speculations.
The Joan Gamper Trophy match showcased Barcelona's younger talents, with Lamine Yamal, Abde, Ansu Fati, and Fermin making a significant impact when they were brought on by Xavi. While discussing the game, Xavi also touched upon the ongoing transfer rumors surrounding key players.
Regarding the potential return of Neymar, who reportedly expressed his desire to leave PSG this summer, Xavi remained cautious: "I can't say anything. Last year, I mentioned a player from another team, and it caused issues. We'll have to wait until the end of the transfer window. We need to strengthen ourselves well, and the sporting management and president are aware of this."
As for Ansu Fati, whose future has been a subject of interest, Xavi maintained a non-committal stance: "We'll see. There's still a long way to go until August 31st."
Xavi also briefly addressed player registrations, drawing a parallel with last year's situation, indicating that the club is handling the matter with a sense of calm. He provided an update on Ronald Araujo's status, clarifying that while the player has a minor issue, there's no major injury, and the team is hopeful he'll be available soon.
Shifting the focus to the match itself, Xavi analyzed the game against Tottenham, acknowledging the strength of their opponent: "We played against a strong team with great pace. They dominated us in certain periods. Our performance was weaker in the first half but improved in the second." Xavi's cautious responses regarding Neymar's potential return and Ansu Fati's future highlight the uncertainty surrounding these issues. As the transfer window progresses, fans and pundits eagerly await any official developments in these ongoing transfer sagas.
