Koeman needs new players at Barcelona – Rivaldo

Barcelona are a club in financial trouble.

Their last president Josep Maria Bartomeu recently stepped down from his post after a series of mishaps. It left the club in financial ruins but now they are in other forms of trouble as well as they need players injected in their squad.

Antoine Griezmann has been off form ever since he joined the club. Lionel Messi looks like a shadow of himself after being moved to a number nine position. Their only good attacking winger Ansu Fati has been injured and he is out for another two months.

Rivaldo, has now suggested that the club needs to look at new players.

“I thought Barcelona should sign someone before Ansu Fati’s injury, so now I think it even more,” Rivaldo said in his Betfair column. “The club should try to sign one or two strikers if they want to fight for the Champions League.”

“Koeman should have more options in attack to manage a line-up which is sufficiently decisive and competitive in big games, in important ties,” Rivaldo reflected. “Ansu was playing well, he was gaining confidence and becoming more influential in the team, his absence is another headache for the coach.”
