Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets recently talked about his call for the club’s board to strengthen in the transfer market on Tuesday, but warned replacing the departed Neymar will be almost impossible.
The Brazilian’s presence was missed as Barca fell to a 3-1 Spanish Super Cup, first leg defeat at home to Real Madrid in the Catalans first game since Neymar moved to Paris Saint-Germain for a world record 222 million euro fee ($262 million).
However, the Spanish international believes the only way to move on from Neymar’s decision to join the French giants is for the Barca squad to be improved overall rather than finding a like-for-like replacement.
“Those that come in will be welcomed. With Neymar’s departure there is a lack of attacking players, but as I said before getting better means improving in all positions and all aspects.
“Hopefully as many players of the highest quality can come in.
“There is only one Neymar and now that he is no longer with us we need to look forward and try to improve as a team.”
