A fresh rift between Barcelona‘s players and the board is developing over their summer market plans.
That’s according to Okdiario’s chief pundit Eduardo Inda, while speaking on El Chiringuito de Jugones.
Inda says the likes of Leo Messi, Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez want Barca to bring former teammate Neymar back from PSG. However, the club’s football directors favour a deal for Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.
Inda explained, “There is division inside Barça on who should be the star signing for next season. The players want Neymar but the board bets on Lautaro Martínez, the Argentine star of Inter Milan.
“The board believes that recovering Neymar would be like dropping their pants.”
Interestingly, Messi complained earlier this season about Barca’s failure to sign Neymar last summer.
“Neymar? I don’t know if Barça did everything possible for his return,” stated the Barca captain in the weeks after the closure of the summer transfer window.
