Barcelona President Talks Neymar, Antoine Griezmann Transfer, Matthijs de Ligt

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has said he knows Neymar wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain, but understands the Ligue 1 champions do not want to sell.

ESPN's Samuel Marsden quoted Bartomeu speaking about the Brazil international's future, with the Blaugrana supremo also commenting on Antoine Griezmann and Matthijs de Ligt.

Bartomeu said Barca forward Ousmane Dembele is "better" than Neymar, and the Frenchman "is young, talented, offers something different."

Bartomeu also confirmed his club are in talks with Griezmann, with the France striker expected to depart Atletico Madrid this summer.
