While there haven't been games on the pitch, the transfer rumors have kept the attention of football fans. In particular, Lautaro Martinez continues to be linked to Barcelona, this is what Quique Setien told Gazzetta dello Sport about the situation:"He's an important player, a great player and Barcelona is obviously always interested in great players. But in these days without football a new name comes out every day. We talk about Neymar too and I'm sure that I'll be asked about Fabian Ruiz"
The Barcelona manager addressed the potential swap involving Pjanic and Arthur:"I speak very often with my directors and no one ever told me anything about this. On top of that, Arthur has said twice that he wants to stay at Barcelona and I understand completely: I wouldn't leave if I was him, a team like this and chance to play with the best player in the world. Fabian Ruiz? I was with him for a year and it was sufficient to show he's a great player, of an extraordinary level"
