Barcelona president Joan Laporta has again teased about the prospect of sensationally signing Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo.
Laporta met with Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes earlier this week.
At today’s signing presentation for Andreas Christensen, Laporta was asked about Ronaldo and said: “Without going into names, what we detected is that most players are excited about the possibility of playing for Barça. Credibility has returned and the market knows it. We are a very attractive club for high-level players.”
Laporta also spoke of their pursuit of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, with the Germans claiming Barca will “not be around in two years”.
He said, “I don’t believe Bayern’s statements, it’s a joke of a chat, we are going to make our 125th anniversary, there are few teams of this age. Bayern would never say that. The credibility of the club has returned, but due to the inherited situation we have difficulties.
“We send the message to the market that we will invest. The rivals want to take advantage of this situation, but we are improving. We respect Bayern, we have made them an offer and we expect a positive response, I take this opportunity to thank Lewandowski for his attitude and his statements and his willingness to say that he wants to come and play with us.”
