Xavi Hernández has addressed several relevant topics related to FC Barcelona, being especially emphatic regarding the current situation of João Félix and João Cancelo, and clarifying the rumors about the possible hiring of a goalkeeper to cover the loss of Ter Stegen
Xavi Hernández, trainer of the FC Barcelona, has participated in the previous press conference to the duel against the Girona FC in Montjuïc. Between the diverse subjects that tackled the egarense, allowed mention two important subjects related with signings: the situation of the Joaos and the possible contracting of a new guardameta.
In relation with the subject of Joãor Félix and Joãor Cancel, on which recently Joan Laporta, president of the club, expressed positive perspectives about his continuity, the trainer of Terrassa manifested the following: "If it has said it the presi, goes to mass. It has not said at all that we do not know. We are satisfied, no, the following. The two have adapted very well, surrendering to level very high. Claro that it would like us can follow having they the next season".
Now, in a more individual plane, the egarense has left clear his point of view on the transaction of the native of Viseu, which diverse informations situate around the 80 millions, whereas the Barcelona club would be in position to offer between 20 and 25 'kilos'. "Already I have said that it would like me follow having Joãor Félix the next season, clear. And to the club, also. What is the negotiation, no me incumbe. But like trainer, clear that yes would like me have he", concluded.
Full confidence of the Barça in Iñaki Crag
Finally, in relation with the recent debate on the goal, after knowing the surgery to which subjected Marc-André Ter Stegen and the time that would be of drop, arose speculations on if the group of the City Condal ficharía to another guardameta to compete with Iñaki Crag by the place.

Nevertheless, the time of drop of the '1' culé (two to three months) does not justify the incorporation of another alternative.
