‘Look at what you have at home’ - Ronald Koeman sends transfer message to Barcelona

Former Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has sent a message to the Catalans about potential transfers this summer.

Xavi’s side have already moved to bring in Ilkay Gundogan and Inigo Martinez on free transfers but are struggling to complete further deals because of their financial situation.

Koeman is happy with Gundogan’s signing but thinks buying veterans is not the answer in the long-term.

“I like the arrival of Gundogan because he is a great player, but I think that for a club that has to look to the future, I believe that the structure of the club has to be for the next few years,” he said.
