Signing Neymar unfeasible in these trying times, says Barca chief

BARCELONA – Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu stated it is not feasible for the Catalan side to re-sign Brazilian star striker Neymar from Paris St-Germain in the current economic climate caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Barca have spoken with Inter about Lautaro , but the talks have stopped. The situation doesn't invite large investments."On the current economic situation, he said:"The club lost 200 million euros between March and June. In the 2020/21 season we expected to post 1.1 billion euros, but we'll have 30 percent less.

"All the big European clubs are affected. Everyone works to adapt. And this isn't going to last a year, but three or four." "They are the best. They play very well, they train well, they try hard and they have ambition. The best thing is to combine experience with youth. They keep the ambition intact and the desire to win alive."
