Quizzed on whether he can see a fellow countryman becoming the latest magician to sprinkle magic dust over Camp Nouex-France international Leboeuf – speaking exclusively to GOAL courtesy of Betinia – said: “Yeah. But Barcelona has some financial problems. It’s insane. They promise stuff and you see names. You say, ‘how come they could have gotten (Robert) Lewandowski and so many others?’ And you say, ‘I thought they didn’t have money’. If you don’t have money, I don’t have money, we cannot buy anything. But they can. So good for them.
“In a system that Barcelona plays, if they have Rayan Cherki on top of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, maybe a striker, and behind (Frenkie) de Jong and Pedri, that’s insane. That’s absolutely insane.
“That’s what we have with Paris Saint-Germain, kind of, with (Joao) Neves, Vitinha, (Ousmane) Dembele, (Desire) Doue, (Bradley) Barcola, (Khvicha) Kvaratskhelia. There’s a crazy number of those players who can play together with all the talent that they have. But if Cherki can be in the middle, as a number 10, surrounded by those players, insane.”
