Barcelona may not have to choose between Lautaro Martínez and Neymar in the transfer market, with Luis Suárez claiming he’d welcome both to the Camp Nou.

Both strikers continue to be linked with a move to the Blaugrana, although the club would be extremely unlikely to finance moves for each of the South American stars.

While Suárez wouldn’t pick between them, he would be more than happy to see either of the pair end up with the Catalan club next season.

“It is difficult to talk about players today due to the situation in the world,” he told Mundo Deportivo.

“Talking about who could come in is complicated but I can speak about what they are like and they are huge players.

“Obviously, everyone knows Ney and we have great appreciation for him in the dressing room which is indisputable as a player because he still has so much to give.

“He would always be welcome in this dressing room because of the affection we have for him. Lautaro is a player who has grown a lot in Italy and is a No. 9 with spectacular movement.

“That reflects what a great striker he is.”

The Uruguayan also claimed that he wouldn’t view such additions as a threat to his own place and believes it would only be a good thing for the club.

“It isn’t that you feel compatible but you feel happy that the club wants to sign players who can come in to help and fulfil the same objects as everyone else,” he added.

“We always want to win everything. Then when it comes to healthy competition, which there will always be, we’ll always be on the same side.

“So players who come to fight for a place in the team and help us will always be welcome. It will always be better and strengthen the group.”
