Barcelona candidate Freixa: We don't need to sign Real Madrid players

Barcelona presidential candidate Toni Freixa says they do not need to sign any players from Real Madrid.

Freixa was reacting to claims from election rival Jordi Majo that he was offered Real defender Sergio Ramos.

“Nobody has offered us Sergio Ramos. The club currently needs no player from Real Madrid," he told Onda Cero.

On talk of Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke moving to Barca as part of Josep Maria Bartomeu's ticket, Freixa added: “I am sure that if Koke wants to come to Barcelona he will come, if he wants to, with or without Bartomeu.

"I do not think you have to start the election campaign focusing on names, but more a management model."
