In spite of their inability to secure any major victories in the previous season, FC Barcelona appeared to be returning to their old glory in some parts of the campaign. Many things changed when Xavi left Barcelona at the end of the season, but he may have forced the team to substitute Stanislav Lobotka for one of the midfielders he faced in this matchup versus Napoli.
The player himself has now, as SPORT has reported, talked to La Gazzetta dello Sport about the interest Barcelona showed in him as well as his own willingness to wear the blue and garnet jersey. He stated, “I would like to play in a top-tier club, but for now, I am in Naples, where I have a contract and an ‘Italian family’.” It wouldn’t be difficult for me to stay, but I would take an offer from a reputable club if I received one.

In an interview, he expressed his candid admiration for the Slovakian player. A few days prior, the player’s representative verified that Barcelona and the player had reached a deal for the player to join the Catalan team.
Although staying wouldn’t be a problem, I would accept an offer from a prestigious club. Barcelona, maybe? When I was little, Deco and Ronaldinho were the ones I followed. “I’d like to go there if an offer comes in,” he continued.
