Valverde hopes for Messi's return and hints at Barca's incoming transfers

After an unlucky Bilbao clash, Ernesto Valverde was asked about Messi's impact on the pitch.

"It's true that Leo helps us in many situations but we must manage to achieve the same when he is not there.

"We need to try doing other things...We need more depth.

"We are waiting for the new signings," added Ernesto.

The only incoming option which is reportedly considered by Barcelona is Neymar. However, with the recent news on Philippe Coutinho's departure, the Brazilian's comeback seems to be less realistic.
