Well if Barcelona are to sue Manchester City it might put dealings between the clubs at risk? I'd put a small question mark against it.
Still wishful thinking. This might be a tactic Bartomeu would employ but unlikely Pep, Txiki & City will try to manipulate one situation with a significant transfer. Especially when Messi is attempting to take the path of least resistance
They are separate and would only merge if a player + cash transfer is agreed upon but it will not alter the outcome. Messi at City & Garcia back at Barca
