Joan Laporta gave an interview to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, where he referred to the possible signing of Kylian Mbappe by Real Madrid. The Barcelona president did not speak of envy, but of a future “distortion” in the ‘Merengue’ dressing room.
Joan Laporta spoke to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, where he discussed the potential arrival of French superstar Kylian Mbappe at arch-rivals Real Madrid. The Barcelona president claimed the “distortion” that will hit the dressing room of the ‘Merengues’ with the French striker.
He did not refer to it with information, but with intuition about what could happen in the near future: “Not at all, not at all. Besides, I don’t know if they will or won’t do it. We’ll see. I have an intuition. That’s where they have a problem.
“You have to sell a player if Mbappe arrives, don’t you? Because two players are not going to play in the same position and they are also very marked players. Talking about the figures that will be involved, it will distort the dressing room for sure. That’s not a gift,” he declared.
In addition, the Catalan president also hinted that there is a possibility that Xavi Hernandez will stay at the club at the end of the season despite announcing a few months ago that he would leave in June. “He already knows and can see that I would like him to continue. He keeps saying that at the end of the season he will leave as we have agreed, but we’ll see. Let’s not put pressure on ourselves
