Sandro Rosell fields questions from the press...... Camp Nou “We estimate that in two or three years we will be able to begin construction on a new stadium, a new Palau and a new campus.” Víctor Valdés “His agent told our sporting director that the keeper intends to fulfill his contract and we’re very pleased he’s decided to do so. We are not looking for a new keeper for the upcoming season. We’ll look for a keeper in a year, when his contract is up.” Éric Abidal “I believe the Club has treated Abidal well and was able to distinguish between the two facets [of Abidal’s situation]. When he was ill we renewed his contract and when he was cured we treated him like a footballer, which is what they asked of us. The Club acted exquisitely well in both regards.” Leo Messi “I’ve spoken to Messi’s family. They are very calm and we are too. We give them all our support and we have no doubt that they are completely innocent.” Joan Laporta “I haven’t talked about ex- president Laporta in three years and I’ll continue to not talk about him for three more.” Thiago Alcántara “I hope Thiago follows in Xavi, Iniesta, and Sergio’s footsteps... Now they are recognised by the world. It took time for all of them to become regular starters, there’s a lot of competition. I would like it if he had the patience the others had.” Neymar “We don’t have any problems explaining the 57 million euros it cost [to sign the player], but we have some confidentiality clauses that we cannot break. If other parties want to explain, we have no problem if they do so.” “Neymar’s signing was a sporting priority and he’s a footballer that excites Barcelonistas, as we saw when he was presented.” Thiago Silva “We know, given the difficulty of negotiating with a team that doesn’t want to sell, that the signing, if not impossible, is very difficult.” “His salary is very high and it would break the salary structure of the team. We don’t know how much the player costs.” VISCA EL BARCA
