Following Barcelona’s impressive 3-0 victory against Real Madrid in a pre-season friendly in Dallas, manager Xavi Hernandez called for more signings to bolster the squad.
Despite the resounding win, Xavi emphasized the need to strengthen the first-team and fill any gaps in the team with new players.
He expressed the possibility of Barcelona making additional signings to further reinforce the squad.
Speaking to reporters after El Clasico win, Xavi said, “The market closes on the 31st of August. A lot can happen. Hopefully, we can strengthen more.
“We are missing some players. The sports management knows it and the President knows it. Despite the result and the euphoria, we need something more.”
The Barcelona manager is aware of the challenges the club face in the transfer market due to financial constraints. Despite this, he remains determined to find suitable additions to the squad.
While the team cannot afford all of their primary targets due to Financial Fair Play restrictions, Xavi remains optimistic that more players will be acquired.
He also emphasized the significance of nurturing talent from the club’s La Masia academy, suggesting that home-grown players could play a crucial role in strengthening the team.
The reigning La Liga champions will play their final pre-season friendly game against AC Milan on August 2 in Las Vegas.
