Xavi on Haaland to City
Xavi was asked about the possible transfer and stated that going to City is not just about financial reasons.
He said, “Haaland to City? It’s not official, when it is, you ask me again… If I rule him out for us? I’m not going to lie to you, with our economic situation it’s very difficult.
“It’s early to talk about signings and departures, we’re planning but we have to focus on the remaining games. There will be time to talk about everything.”
“Haaland choosing money over a project? I wouldn’t say that. I’m not going to disrespect other club’s sporting projects.
“City has a lot of titles and competes at a top level. If what you say happens, it would’ve been because of our financial issues.”
