The leader has spoken of high, low and possible renewals, and has begun 'wetting' on a serial that is not the first time that has to the Camp Nou as leading.

On the case Antoine Griezmann, has been very clear: "it Is player of the Athletic of Madrid and has agreement. It likes me that the big players are in Spain because it gives value to the League for, for example, achieve sponsors. If Griezmann wanted to come would have to speak with the technicians, but his name is not on the table. especula A lot in the press, but in the table of work is not Griezmann. It has not called to the Barcelona".

Neither it has lost the opportunity to launch a 'dart' to Neymar, ensuring that it will not go back because his place is for Ousmane Dembélé: "it is not possible that avenges because have another sportive project with Dembéle and Coutinho. We are happy with what have. Dembélé Has an upper level to the of Neymar and is a good professional. It is young and has come to a big club. It is not easy, but already has adapted . It is much better player that Neymar".

Precisely, the carioca has been one of the cracks to which has had to defend, and has moved away the rumours that ensure that the Barça has foreseen to put up for sale him. "Philippe Coutinho is an excellent player. It is us easy play in the Barcelona. Has the confidence of the trainer. We are very happy. Has agreement and will follow, except that they pay the clause. We have he because it is a different footballer", has cleared with rotundity.

"Neymar Will not go back because have another project with Dembélé and Coutinho, the French is even better that he"

On the same line it has pronounced on Samuel Umtiti, to the that has removed of the shop window in spite of the speculations that move him away of the City Condal: "we renew Him before the World-wide and remain him four years. There is not subject Umtiti. Now it has to recover of his injury. It is taking the tone. We want to have to the best possible. Have Umtiti and Lenglet in the left is all a guarantee. It would like me that it followed".

And also it has reassured on the continuity of Ivan Rakitic, that is slope of a renewal that will have to expect. "Has agreement and are very happy. In summer had a conversation with him and said him that in the moment in which we could would speak to do him an improvement in the agreement. We have not spoken by the calendar and because have some balances salariales and is not easy, but will speak with him. It is an indisputable player, every year does it better", has concretised.

Bartomeu has explained the reason of the signing anticipated of Frenkie of Jong, and has gone back to praise to Matthijs of Ligt. According to his explanations, the pressure of the opponents on the midfield player precipitated the offensive of the entity, and has given another 'wink' to a central to the that considers "very good footballer, young and with seriousness in the game". "His style fits in the Barça", has finished.

The maximum mandator barcelonista has removed iron also to the subject of the exits, normalising a situation that is not grave and that will make in function of sportive criteria, and no under economic pressures: "Every year there is. Have players yielded and in May already will see what do. Every year they occur these movements. Ones will go and others will remain . But the club has annual resources. The economic results are good. There is not urgency for doing box, yes want to have a competitive team".

In the interview, Bartomeu has insisted in that it wants to leave list another renewal of Leo Messi before finishing his mandate: "we Have to speak. All want to that it follow tied all the life to the Barça. Before going me like president want to leave him renewed. Never it would go of the club. Although had a euro of clause would remain ".

And it has broken one launches in favour of the always criticised Gerard Hammered. "It is playing very well. Have a very good relation with him, the other day went to dine together. The documentary of Griezmann forms part of the show of the football. Already we have spoken it and it did not bother me. What said the other day of the heritage of the Espanyol was in tone of humour done in a program of humour".

Besides, it has normalised the relation with the Real Madrid, ensuring that it congratulated to Florentino Pérez by his triplete of Champions and warning that, sooner or later, there will be reaction in Santiago Bernabéu: "it Has had the bad luck to remain descabalgado in League and out of the Glass and Champions. The Madrid will redo , fichará players and will go back to be a big team. If it had happened here? There would be definitely a lot of stir".
