Joan Laporta also took the opportunity to discuss the Barcelona transfer window and in particular Ousmane Dembélé. Free of any contract, the French winger has still not extended with Barça. However, the Catalan president has indicated that the player will remain “if he accepts the conditions” of the Catalan club.
As for Raphinha, Joan Laporta acknowledged the club’s interest: “ Rafinha? We spoke with Leeds. What happens is that there are other clubs who want Raphinha and make their proposals. He wants to come”
For Robert Lewandowski, the president was cautious: “He’s a great player but he belongs to Bayern. I prefer not to say anything at the moment.”
Finally, Joan Laporta has acknowledged Manchester United’s interest in Frenkie De Jong but wants to keep him: “A lot of clubs want Frenkie, not just United. We don’t want to sell him and he wants to stay. Frenkie is considered one of the best midfielders in the world by all the experts. We’re happy to have him.”
Laporta: ‘I will do everything in my power to keep Frenkie here, but there is also a salary problem and it would have to be adjusted’
