Xavi prioritises to incorporate at least a player by line, but is conscious of the hard financial reality culé. Thus, if it concretised the return of Lionel, his satisfaction would be total, since the contribution of 'the Flea' on the field follows marking differences. This season has been the best of the PSG. Only surpassed by Mbappé. In spite of his age, the rosarino keeps intact his capacity to improve any plantel. This, beside his professionalism, does that the egarense descarte his doubts: there is not better possible reinforcement for the summer that Read. Thus, it will insist in his return until the last day of market, as long as the 'crack' keep opened the door.
