After sealing the signings of the Kun Agüero, Eric
Garcia Y Emerson
Royal, and about to be able to make official Memphis
Depay, the technical secretariat of Barça continues working, not only in increasing the reinforcements of the Ronald
Koeman, but also in giving output to some members of the current team. There is an operation underway that, in one fell swoop, would bring two players from the Manchester
City (Bernardo
Silva Y Joao
Cancel), who are about to go to the Camp Nou, and two others from Barça to the Etihad Stadium (Sergi
Roberto Y Ousmane
Dembele).
Just a week ago, the president of Barça, Joan
Laporta and his right hand in terms of transfers, Matthew
German, they were next to Pep Guardiola on Mallorca, in the Legends Trophy, the golf tournament that the ‘citizen’ coach organizes every year after the season ends.
A few days after that meeting, specifically last Saturday, the Sunday supplement of the prestigious British newspaper ‘Times’ reported that Barça Y Manchester
City They were open to exchanging several of their players, not only for sporting interest, but also so that their transfers allow balancing accounts, something that would thus avoid further losses in a financial year marked by the red numbers as a result of the Covid pandemic- 19.
The same ‘Sunday Times’ put on the table the names of Bernardo
Silva Y Joao
Cancel by the Manchester
City Y Sergi
Roberto Y Dembele as exchange parts by the FC Barcelona. Despite being all of them important players in their respective teams, MD has been able to confirm from the environment of the two ‘citizen’ footballers that both Cancel What Bernardo
Silva They are footballers to the liking of Barça and that, to this day, the two clubs are working to carry out an operation that has a certain complexity.
So much Bernardo
Silva What Cancel They have a contract at City until June 2025, but both players would welcome changing the Etihad Stadium by the Camp Nou.
Apart from the good harmony between Laporta and the City’s technical secretary, Small
Begiristain, in addition to his own Guardiola, Another point that adds in favor of the Barça interests in this operation is the name of Jorge
Mendes, good friend of the Barcelona president and agent of both footballers. “It is a real option”, detailed to this newspaper forts close to the two Portuguese internationals.
Cancelo, 27 years old and whose name was already linked in different stages of the past with the Barça, is a versatile defender, as he can play both on the right side and in the left-handed lane, something that would allow the Barça club to give competition to Jordi Alba. In addition, he has a lot of experience, because apart from the City has played in other greats such as Juventus or the Inter de Milan and get to know the Spanish League after passing through the Valencia. Bernardo
Silva, who will turn 27 on August 10, is an offensive midfielder who can play inside.
With the OK of the players of the City, now it will be necessary for the Barça be able to also convince your players to agree to enter the operation, especially when they are only six months away from being able to freely negotiate their future. Sergi
Roberto is an old longing for Guardiola, who values his tactical rigor and versatility. The ancestry of Pep, with whom he already had the honor of sharing a dressing room at Barça, Sergi
Roberto adds another no less relevant data that can help the operation: he shares the same agent as the Santpedor technician: Josep Maria Orobitg.
A priori, who can put more obstacles to the exchange of footballers would be Dembele, of whom in the Barça They suspect that he wants to exhaust his contract to go free next year. The agent of the French is summoned today to a meeting with those responsible for the Barça, which seems key to the outcome of the mega-barter.
