AMAL Posted October 18, 2021 Posted October 18, 2021 Barcelona intends to strengthen the lead either in the winter market or in the next summer. The sports management does not stop moving in search of a footballer who could incorporate taking into account the difficult economic moment that the club is experiencing. One of the names on the list is Raheem Sterling, who does not have a good feeling with Guardiola and could leave Manchester City. However, the operation is very complicated for Barcelona because its price is through the roof. Although the contract ends in June 2023, City is not willing to give away its player. Sterling is valued at 80 million euros, an amount that is very difficult for Barcelona to reach given the problems it has with the salary bill. The English club is not one of those that lowers the price of the footballer because he has a year or a year and a half left on his contract. Barcelona knows it very well because it already happened with Eric García. Despite having only one year left, City remained firm in the amount it had asked for, which was over 20 million counting fixed and variable. Barça was not willing to pay that money and had to wait for his contract to end to be able to bring it at zero cost. What is clear is that City is willing to sell the striker if a good offer arrives. Guardiola said a few days ago that he only wanted footballers who were happy in the team and if not, they would say so to find a solution. And Sterling is not happy in Manchester right now. He has lost ownership and footballers like Foden or Gabriel Jesús now count more for the Santpedor coach. Another of the players that Barcelona has in their sights is Dani Olmo, but something similar happens with Sterling. Its price can be around 50 million at the moment and it is an amount that Barcelona has a hard time reaching. Given their economic situation, the sports management must clearly set their priorities because there is no money to sign everyone they have in their portfolio. https://www.marca.com/futbol/barcelona/2021/10/18/616d5b69ca474188318b4587.html
