An answer was provided by the captain of Barcelona in response to speculations that the squad was keeping an eye on Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.

There is a high probability that Kylian Mbappe will leave Paris Saint-Germain following the 2023–2024 season. At this moment, Real Madrid is in the lead in the competition to acquire the French international player.

Additionally, Liverpool, a “giant” in the Premier League, has recently surfaced as a possible option to sign the former AS Monaco star. The coach of Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez, has confessed that the club does not have sufficient financial means to pursue Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland. This comment comes in the midst of speculation regarding Mbappe’s future. 

“Haaland or Mbappe?,” the former player for Spain asked reporters in a telephone conversation. At this point in time, we are unable to consider recruiting both of them. Unfortunately, we are unable to finance celebrities of this caliber.

Every single one of the players that I currently have is to my liking. For the sake of this club, we must constantly be at the highest level, so we need to perform to the best of our abilities.

The signing of Vitor Roque, a Brazilian prodigy, from Athletico Paranaense was recently finalized by the “Giant” Catalans. In the month of January, it is highly likely that Roque will be the only player that Barcelona acquires.

In the past, there were speculations that “Blaugrana” had contacted Claudio Echeverri, an Argentine player who was a competitor in the U17 World Cup. Nevertheless, the guy who has been given the label “Messi 2.0” is very close to joining Manchester City.

In the current standings of La Liga, Xavi’s squad is positioned fourth. On the 5th of January, 2024, Barcelona will play their first match of the year against Las Palmas.
