After the hiring of Kessié, Raphinha, Cristensen and now Lewandowski, Joan Laporta announced in the United States that now it was time to think about reinforcing the defense with three key players: Marcos Alonso, Azpilicuieta and Koundé. The president indicated that the movements from now on will be aimed at reinforcing the team’s rearguard. “Now we are going to work on defense”, he confirmed during the interview with the Mexican channel TUDN. Now it’s time to work on defense. Xavi has us oriented to a series of players and I hope that the Catalans can bring a few more joys. We have competed with teams like PSG and Chelsea to sign Robert and he wanted to come here. That is something to be thankful for. That and the maximum pressure that he has had to endure,” he said.
He also added that on a personal level, “I am relaxed about the levers and the signings. We want to make a competitive team, give Xavi the tools to have a good team and I think we are on the right track.”
