But its not just Barcelona. He has played for the Spain International team and Pep is obviously an admirer.
The desire to leave for Barcelona is not helping him.
He has not kicked on at all since he said he wants to leave.
Not sure how the rest of the players feel about this but it is not healthy for him or City.
Must be annoying to the under age players thst he is revered so much. I am sure he is better than what we are getting but our squad is big and he could be released no problem.
It seems to be more political than any thing else.
If a team other than Barcelona showed an interest I think we'd sell him.
