Barcelona president Joan Laporta has admitted his admiration for Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves.

The Wolves captain has been mentioned as a replacement at Barca for Sergi Busquets.

Laporta told Cadena SER: “Neves is a great player, but this is part of private conversations.

"Busquets will not last forever and there are internal discussions to find a substitute for guarantees.

"De Jong can play in this position, but it won't do with a single player. This will be decided by Xavi."
