The FC Barcelona takes note of face to the market of wintry signings and are many the players that have been related with the Barcelona picture. Nevertheless, it is not a simple situation, remembering that the Barcelona picture exceeds his limit salarial and that, besides, the financial situation is truly delicate. All the possibilities will observe with a lupa, because although it is the intention to reinforce the team of face to the second and more important stretch of the season 2021-2022, the economic reality interposes between the wishes and the margin of action.

In the middle of the crisis -endless- of the Barça, the name of Raheem Sterling takes strength of face to the pretences of the Barcelona of face to the wintry market, with a possible cession from the Manchester City. The English, that has happened to be a key player for Pep Guardiola, to a 'descarte' and with very few minutes of action, has a profile that interests to the Barcelona and to the new trainer, Xavi Hernández, by what outlines like one of the big options by which the culés will look for to throw the house by the window, to the measure of his possibilities.

The case is that the Barça has a point very in favour and is that Raheem Sterling has the firm intention to abandon the Manchester City in January. The reason? It is having very few minutes under the orders of Pep Guardiola and is conscious that has a lot for showing of face to the World-wide of the FIFA of the next month of December of 2022 in Catar. Between more can show in the field, more options will have that Gareth Southgate take it in account like one of his 'fixed' in England.

It is necessary to remember that it does some months Sterling announced that "like English player, all what know is the Premier League. Always I knew that maybe some day, would love me play abroad and see how would confront me to this challenge". That was the first 'wink' to play out of Ingaterra and also to a Barça that tried his traspaso in the past market veraniego but his cost was too high and impossible to assume for the Barcelona. Shortly after, Pep Guardiola 'wetted' in this regard.

"It did not know that it considered to go. It is our player and expect that it keep on being it. I can not ensure to anybody how many minutes go to play, all have to speak on the lawn", commented the one of Santpedor. "I can not ensure that they go to play always 90 minutes. I am the one who takes the decisions in function of what is better for the club, no for the players. I do not want to see unhappy footballers, is not the end of the world. There are a lot of teams, a lot of trainers, a lot of options. Flame to the club and resolves the situation. I do not speak only of Raheem, speak of any situation", stood out the trainer.

It can arrive to the Barça?

Sterling has turned into the main aim of the Barça of face to the market of signings, but it is necessary to be very conscious that the club would have to free his mass salarial to be able to inscribe it in the staff. The cession outlines like the most intelligent option, but it will be necessary to see also lace intentions of the Manchester City and if they are had to undo of Sterling in these conditions, taking in account besides that the English is one of the better players paid of the Premier League and that this can be an obstacle on the way.
