Celta Vigo manager names three Barcelona players he would like to sign

As Barcelona prepare to host Celta Vigo in a key La Liga clash, the focus has shifted to the growing admiration for Hansi Flick’s squad across Spain.

Celta manager Claudio Giraldez has offered a fascinating insight into how Barcelona are being viewed from the outside.

Speaking ahead of the game in an interview with SPORT, Giraldez did not hold back when asked which Barça players he would take if given the chance.

“If I could sign one? I’d name three: Lamine, Pedri and Raphinha. It’s hard to choose; they’re all very good.”

Nothing but praise

Starting with Lamine Yamal, his admiration was clear and direct.

“He’s the most creative and talented player in the world. He dominates the attacking play.”

It’s a strong statement, especially considering Yamal’s age, but one that shows how quickly the teenager has established himself as a game-changer.

When speaking about Pedri, Giraldez shifted the focus towards control and intelligence.
