Brazilian star Rivaldo, one of Barcelona’s stars, previously said that the arrival of winger Neco Williams to the Catalan team may not be enough to challenge Real Madrid.
Real Madrid had succeeded in attracting Kylian Mbappe and increased his capabilities, which made Barca forced to respond with another strong deal, but the Seleção star finds that this is not the way.
Rivaldo said: “I can say that Real Madrid is in a good position, Neco Williams? “If he moved to Barcelona, it would be a positive thing, but I still believe that we need one or two more deals after him for Barcelona to return to being among the best teams in the world.”
He continued: “To change the trend, Barcelona needs to sign players, then we will see what happens at the beginning of the season and in the direct confrontation against Real Madrid, with the purchase of Neco Williams. Barcelona may be strong on paper, but they have to prove it.”
Rivaldo continued: “Barcelona needs a player like Bernardo Silva in the front line, in addition to a world-class star in the midfield like Joshua Kimmich, the star of the German giant Bayern Munich. In this case, Barcelona will level the playing field with Real Madrid.”
He concluded: “Barcelona also needs to include two defenders and an additional striker, while signing three famous and quality players so that the team can compete for titles. Lewandowski? A global star, but we know that aging and injuries have a major impact on players, and I warn Hansi Flick against relying on him permanently next season so as not to destroy Barcelona’s season before it starts.”
