Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez considered that talk of including Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland to the Catalan club is unrealistic due to the current economic conditions, so he refuses to choose between one of them in front of the eyes of the newspapers.
Barcelona returns to the matches again when it meets Las Palmas in the opening of the second round of the Spanish League, and Xavi held a press conference, as is usual, to talk about the match and other matters.
When Xavi was asked who would contract with him, Haaland or Mbappe, he answered realistically, saying, “Now we are not here to talk about Haaland or Mbappe. We are in an economic situation that does not allow us to contract with them.”
He also added, "I prefer to talk about the players I already have. I am happy with them. We have reached our best levels, and of course we in this club need to always be at the highest level possible."
As for what he hopes for in 2024, the Catalan coach replied, “I aspire to success, and success will come through winning titles. We are good in the Champions League, and we must strive to achieve the league, the cup, and the Super Cup, and above all, winning is our main goal.”
It is noteworthy that Barcelona occupies third place in the Spanish League, and will face Napoli in the round of 16 of the Champions League, in addition to competing in the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia by facing Osasuna in the semi-finals, and before that, it begins its journey in the King’s Cup by facing Papabastro.
