Barcelona can’t afford players like Mbappe, Haaland: Xavi Hernandez

BARCELONA: Barcelona can no longer afford to shell out huge sums in transfer fees for top players like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, coach Xavi Hernandez said. Xavi has said, the club is hoping to sign new players in the January transfer window but when asked if it could go after the likes of Manchester City’s Haaland or France captain Mbappe he told reporters: “I have to deal with the players I have, because right now we are not able to think about those kinds of signings. Unfortunately, we are not in a privileged situation economically to do that. I am left with the players I have, and with those players we have to win,” added the Spaniard. Agencies
