I don't doubt that's what he's been told, because Barca feed that Barca DNA shit to Spanish based press all the time, but where the claim falls apart for me is how we're allegedly negotiating with them over a sale. Pep is the last guy in the world who's going to go out of his way to hand starts to a youth player who's just told the club he wants to leave, and who the club is currently working on selling? Nah.Guillem Balague just confirmed Eric Garcia wants to go to barca. city knows that and don't want to lose him for nothing next year.
That means he’s staying then.Guillem Balague just confirmed Eric Garcia wants to go to barca. city knows that and don't want to lose him for nothing next year.
FFS, we bring him here, develop him, nurture him, start to give him some playing time and then he might leave for pretty much peanuts or free next season back to Barca?
Doubt Barca would give us anywhere above 15m.
Hope this does not happen and he signs a new contract.
Only thing I can imagine is Barca telling his agent a starting place at Barca while here we are about to sign a very expensive CB this summer to be paired with Laporte.
I wanted Rodri,Laporte,Garcia to be a strong Spanish core for City.
With Stones/Ota/Garcia future all up in the air Fernandinho is guaranteed to play CB next season a lot which is not good news.
Hopefully this isn't true:
