The coach would like the Argentine forward to join, he's a top target

FC Barcelona coach Quique Setién insisted that players like Lautaro Martinez and Neymar are always interesting targets because of their quality, but said the coronavirus crisis could leave the market compromised. "About the possible incorporation of some players, we're talking, but right now the current situation is going to make everything very complicated," he told Onda Cero.

Asked about Lautaro, Setien said that "we're talking about signings but this pandemic will condition a lot of things because the economic situation of clubs will be complicated. I'm not pessimistic or optimistic with Lautaro. I like Lautaro, like I like all the great players, but I'm not getting excited about any."

On Neymar's return, he called it "difficult" because "economically it's hard to reach players of that level. We'll see how things are with contracts after June 30."
