Barcelona coach, Xavi, conceded that he doesn’t know if the Blaugrana can sign Neymar before the end of the transfer window.
On Monday August 7, Neymar reportedly told Paris Saint-Germain that he wants to leave.
And not for the first time, Barca are supposedly his desired destination.
However, getting a deal done might be complicated for a financially limited Barca, something Xavi admitted on Tuesday.
“Neymar? I can’t say anything. Last year I already mentioned the name of a player from another team, and they got angry.
“From here until the end of the market, we’ll see,” Xavi said, following Barcelona’s 4-2 win over Tottenham in the Joan Gamper Trophy.
Barca are on the verge of losing Ousmane Dembele to PSG.
However, the France international set to seal a €50 million (£43m/$55m) move PSG in the next few days.
Ansu Fati could also be on his way out, with Financial Fair Play rules potentially forcing Barca to sell their promising forward.
