Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets says that €18 million is a "good price" for Celta Vigo attacker Nolito, while he has also been impressed with what he has seen of another reported Barca target Samuel Umtiti.
Former Barcelona B player Nolito has often been linked with a return to the Camp Nou, and Celta Vigo president Carlos Mourino has stated that he expects the 29-year-old to move on this summer -- albeit only if his €18m release clause is paid in full.
Speaking to Al Primer Toque radio show from Spain's Euro 2016 camp, Busquets was asked about his international teammate Nolito -- who has also been linked with Manchester City -- and replied that Celta's price seemed a fair one for Barca to pay for such a talented player.
"Looking at how the market is these days, although €18m seems a lot of money, in the world of football it is only enough to buy one boot," Busquets said. "As Gerard [Pique] has said, that is a good price for Nolito. He had a great season and he has a lot of football to give."
The Blaugrana outfit have also been heavily linked with Lyon defender Umtiti, with some reports in the Catalan media claiming the France international will complete a move for as much as €30m as soon as his European Championship campaign with Les Bleus ends.
Busquets admitted that he had not been following Umtiti's career closely until recently, but having heard that Barca might be signing the 22-year-old he looked for videos of his potential new teammate.
"I had seen little of [Umtiti], that's the truth -- I do not follow the French league that much," Busquets said. "Since I heard he might be coming I have watched bits of games and the truth is he seems a great centre-back, with a lot of potential.
"I don't know if we will sign him or not, but he would be welcome if he is coming to help the team."
