Bartomeu, to the detail: Renewals, signings, Isco, Neymar, Valverde...

It was the day before of the first Classical of the Glass of the King in the Camp Nou, and Josep Maria Bartomeu conceded an interview in which it did not leave at all in the inkwell. In a conversation with 'The Partidazo' of the 'Chain COPE', the maximum mandator of the FC Barcelona faced diverse subjects of actuality, giving some brushstrokes of his form to handle the Barcelona group.

After defending that it is not antimadridista but that considers very culé, the Catalan spoke of Leo Messi, although it did not want to entertain too much in the doubts on his physical state. The president yes revealed, little later, that the rosarino could go back to extend his agreement, and that will not save efforts to please to the best player of the world: "I Think that there will be another renewal of Messi. As it is playing, have for a lot of years more. The end of his season is for the season 2020-21. If he finds well, will say that it wants to follow".

Act followed, continued with other pending cases, and referred to the of Jordi Alba: "it Is the best left side of the world and it is necessary to take advantage of so that it follow five years more. I do not remember short negotiations. They have to understand that there is a strategy salarial and some levels and that can not move us much more. There is not risk that it go . The risk zero does not exist but he wants to follow and we, that follow. Between the gone and the turn of the Olympique of Lyon, Alba will renew. Or at least it would like me that it follow here".

After elogiar to Gerard Hammered that precisely it signed by his love to the club, also answered on Ivan Rakitic, of the that signalled that for the time being, still will have to expect: "With Ivan speak regularly as I speak with all the players. It likes me have contact with them. Always by familiar subjects, no futbolísticos. Already it knows that when have economic capacity the club, will put us speak. Right now it is not the case".

"There is not a problem with the quarry, but all the subjects are mejorables always"

Bartomeu followed touching keys without hiding in any subject, and confirmed several questions that were in the air. Further of elogiar to Quique Setién or Eusebio Sacristán, underlined that Ernesto Valverde will follow and that fits perfectly with the style of the team, that Philippe Coutinho does not sell or that gladdens by the big moment of Paco Alcácer, of the that considers that it did not have space in the City Condal because his obstacle was a referent of so much level like Luis Suárez.

As it was to expect, also touched him value the case Ousmane Dembélé, and recalcó, as with the carioca, that there is full confidence in the Frenchman: "it is doing It very well and it is necessary to applaud his evolution. Has a big talent and is a big, but is of drop. Sometimes I speak with him and yes, some time have spoken with him to the one and average of the morning. Has win to triumph. To the players it is necessary to give them the best possible conditions. It interests us that they triumph and when it can help , of course that they help ".

Reflexionando On the planning and on the fact to have six head offices, the Barcelonan launched a 'wink' to the Masia, explaining that in spite of the signings there is will to improve and that does not forget the quarry. "In the left side there is a project of players of the B. Miranda has played some parties. I am very happy but all the subjects are mejorables always. There is not a problem with the quarry. There are players with 17, 18 or 19 years that won the year happened the Youth League and that they have to go going in. It likes me that Aleñá do it", commented.

Bartomeu elaborates on the signings of the Barça

In addition to facing several questions on his personal life, the presidency or the political situation of Catalonia and Spain, Bartomeu also extended speaking of signings, and spoke of a 'hot potato' as Neymar. "There was an extraordinary entry that it was Neymar. I thought that anybody would dare to pay this and occurred. And with this money go you to the market and anybody puts it to you easy. The market is a bit high", aimed to start with on the inflation in the market.

"Neymar Never has called me to go back, neither the father neither the player. They are rumours that go out, but the truth is that never it has called me. I have seen it and we have spoken of football and of projects but never has called me. He decided by a project. Neymar Is an out of series, play very well here and invent a trident. Has a lot of talent. We could not sell. And if we speak of sportive project of the Barça, the club has taken decisions and fichamos to Coutinho and Dembélé. We have fichado players younger", concretised on the one of Sao Paulo.

After confirming that it participated actively in the negotiation by Frenkie of Jong, the Catalan defended his remarkable investments in the last times, signalling that they do not put in danger the economic stability of the club. "Of Jong goes to play ten, twelve or fourteen years in this club. We are leaders in income and therefore we can pay those that others can not. We will work in which have to litigate against the clubs-been. There are ideas and there will be players that will come and others that will go . Like this winter", specific, describing these movements like a natural process.

"We have not spoken with Neymar of his return, the bet of the club goes through Coutinho and Dembélé"

Also it did reference to a mate of the Dutch, his compatriot Matthijs of Ligt, and recalcó that the conversations with Mino Raiola do not suppose him a problem: "it does not throw me for backwards that the representative was Raiola. It was the agent of Ibrahimovic and this year sold it and had a lot of conversations. It is a demanding and fun type. I do not have any problem with any agent. Fichar To a player is not only a subject of money, also sportive. We attract to people. Participate of this era triunfadora attracts".

Questioned on his strategy of signings, Bartomeu did not want to deepen too much in the planning, although it aimed to the technicians like judges in cases like the ones of Álvaro Morata, in which they decanted by another option. In this sense, insisted in that there is not at all tied with Adrien Rabiot, and repeated that it can not hint on the intentions culés: "it Is a player that is free. The Barça already issued a communiqué to clear that it did not have fichado to Rabiot. There is not any agreement. It is not a question for me if it interests. If the Barça is negotiating with Rabiot do not go to say it and if no, neither. From now I have to prepare the following season".

After boasting that the Barça is one of the big impulsores of the VAR and signal that it works to help to the referees, the president warned that it has not called never to Luis Rubiales or to Ángel María Villar, and had his corner to speak of the Real Madrid. It recognised without doubting that if it had put to shot had posed the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, and was very brief speaking on the possible bet by Vinicius Jr: "they Are players that have agreement. Vinicius Was a player that was in the market and his family and his agents were here".

With regard to this subject, Josep Maria Bartomeu indicated that it does not exist any type of pact between culés and 'merengues', but that all the subjects treat with respect and always there would be dialogue between both parts. "There is an important mutual respect. If a player wants to go of the Madrid, of course that it would want to ficharlo. There are not pacts, but has not given this case since I am in 2010", valued, and when they asked after him Isco, affirmed that "if the technicians ask me to a player, would speak with the first Madrid, but this has not occurred never".
