Barcelona manager Quique Setien has expressed his admiration for both Paris Saint Germain’s Neymar and Inter’s Lautaro Martinez, who continue to be linked with potential Summer transfers to the Blaugrana club.
Barcelona are widely reported to be looking to bring Neymar back to the club, three years on from letting him leave for the French powerhouses and reports in the media have suggested they may need to cough up close to €200 million in order to do so.
As for Lautaro, it is said that Barcelona see him as the heir to Luis Suarez. The Argentine has a €111 million release clause in his current contract with the club but Barcelona are understood to want to do a player(s) plus cash deal for him instead.
“How can I not love all the great players? Neymar is undoubtedly one of them, but now, as things stand, we must consider whether it will be possible or not to sign him,” Setien, who took charge of the Blaugrana at the beginning of this year, remarked in an interview with Spanish radio station Cadena Ser show ‘El larguero’ this morning.
Everything we do will depend on the situation in which the other clubs are in after what is happening. However, both would be fine.”
