Tension between Barça and City after the closing of the summer market

The FC Barcelona and the Manchester City closed a market estival marked by the tensions between the directives of both clubs. Further to close the cession of Joao Cancel, there were attitudes and comments that did not seat well in Can Barça and have left open wounds that they could condition future operations, being Bernardo Silva a pending aim culé that the group 'sky blue' has tried to retain at all costs.

The relations between City and Barça began to complicate from beginnings of year. In spite of the understanding go in Cancel and the Barça and the insistence of Pep Guardiola of not having he, the managerial 'cityzen' preferred to negotiate with the Bayern Munich, descartando the interest culé immediately by economic questions. When finalising the season, the exit of ílkay Gündogan course to Catalonia tightened more the rope, since the international German left with letter of freedom.

For Laporta, the City has ninguneado to the Barça

In this sense, the perception of the Barça is that the City has subestimado the capacity of the Barça to be able to fichar and, after checking the power of convencimiento blaugrana, did not doubt in accelerating the renewal of Bernardo Silva, descartando any negotiation in spite of the wish of the mediocentro to expect by the Barça. Finally, the 'operation Cancel' resolved thanks to the management of Jorge Mendes, as the relation between clubs came in hammered from did several weeks.

And it is that, in the case of Joao, Mendes played with the wish of the side to go out, as well as the insistence of Guardiola of not having he. In Barcelona took out the best part of the negotiation, as the defender of 29 years arrived without option of compulsory purchase and the culés only will have to assume his wage, previously recessed by mutual agreement. This yes, the operation only could close after the personal guarantee presented by Laporta, as well as the exits cleared before the closing of the market.

The possible influence of the City in the exit of Eric García

Another appearance that also bothered to the Barça, as 'Sportive World', went the possible influence of the City in the cession of Eric García to the Girona. Knowingly of the need to free mass salarial to be able to fichar to Joao Cancel, the group 'sky blue' there would be presionado to the Barça to facilitate the arrival of the central to the Catalan group, which is part of the City Football Group Limited (CFG). Nevertheless, this is only a rumour and, at the end, the operation finish being positive for the culés, so much in the sportive as in the economic.
