It’s safe to say that Barcelona and Manchester City are stick of the sight of each other at this moment in time. The two European giants entered into negotiations on numerous occasions during the summer, and by the sounds of it, they were not always amicable.
The summer started by Barcelona agreeing a pre-contract with Man City’s then-captain Ilkay Gundogan, who became the Catalan club’s first signing of the transfer window. The clubs also spoke regarding Joao Cancelo, who ended up joining on loan, and also Bernardo Silva.
Despite signing two players from Man City during the summer, Barcelona are said to be very annoyed with the European champions, as reported by MD. Specifically, they feel that the attitude of the English side during negotiations was poor.
Relations were already sour between the two clubs following Barcelona’s pursuit of Cancelo in January. The Spanish champions allege that Man City deliberately stopped the Portuguese from joining, despite the player’s wishes. However, City have profusely denied this.
Also, Barcelona believe that Man City tried to poach some of their best young players, including Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde and Pau Cubarsi. However, if they did try to do so, their efforts were in vain.
Barcelona and Man City are linked in many ways, most notably by Pep Guardiola, who is a legend at both clubs having led them to incredible success during his stints as head coach. However, they do not appear to be the best of friends at this stage.
Barca think they can buy anyone with no money. They are skint cancelo even reduced wage by 25% so they could sign him sorry loan him. They wanted gundo last year but had to wait until he was free agent. Then they had to get a loan to register him as a player.
Funny how players want to come to Barca despite no oil money, and even take less than their market value to do it.
You’d almost think that it was a great club to play for, in a great city with great fans Perhaps it’s the socios they admire, who were the ones to force out the previous administration when they found out about their shady dealings and corruption, and installed an administration committed to righting the ship and restoring the club’s good name. Or maybe it’s the club’s history of winning titles and it footballing philosophy. Lots of reasons to choose from.
The bigger question might be, why do clubs like City and PSG have to constantly overpay?
Broke ass Barca can’t even afford their own players , let alone pay for ours. You’re a finished club.
If players ready to take a pay-cut and leave your club then what’s the issue here?
And what have you achieved sending Cancelo to Bayern Munich?
Barca want clubs to give them players for free and if you dont agree they will become annoyed.
This is the club that still owes 45 million of the 55 million euros fee for Fernando Torres, AFTER illegally tapping him up, they also tapped up Garcia and continually try to unsettle City players by “leaking” news of their interest in them yet, never make a bid nor can they afford them. Such an appallingly badly run club have some brass face to criticise others. Pot, Kettle, Black.
Fernando torres ? and heres me thinking he had retired a long long time ago maybe not lmfao 🤣😂 use are a good laugh we are broke absolutely no argument here but even when we are players still want to come to our club broke or not and the fact that they sacrifice their own money to do it only further proves this point imo,also use are mouthing off here about barca illegally tapping this and that player up ? are use taking the piss ? man city took eric garcia from our youth academy years ago lol and then tried to take balde & yamal from us before they both renewed their contracts at barca so we are all good at tapping up players not just barca 👍👏 bartemou destroyed our club yes with his personal vendetta but we are recovering slowly but surely by mostly selling our own club assets off we do not rely entirely on oil money like a certain man city for example lol who if I’m not mistaken are under investigation currently themselves for money corruption so the pot calling the kettle black indeed boys 😂🤣👏👍
“mostly selling our own club assets”
Ahahah keep it up, its the future ones that are best 🤣🤣🤣
Whats laporta and co meant to do then ? come in as new fc barcelona president and just do nothing at all ? since you obviously seem to know it all lets all hear your own great ideas and solutions then to our financial problems ? you being so obsessed and concerned about fc barcelonas affairs these days especially financially ? as i said we will sort our own financial problems and mess out ourselves no matter how long down the road it takes,our club is still owned by its supporters who still have a voice and say in what the club does like the selling of club assets and other methods of bringing in extra much needed income if the fans dont give their approval it doesn’t happen facts and considering the vast majority of barca fans have backed laporta and co over these decisions tells me anyway that they have their trust and support i dunno maybe im wrong who knows.
Apply new La Liga fair play regulations in EPL, and half of the big-wigs are out of the competition.
I dont care about your club and their finances. Neither would I want to write about it here; in terms of how to help them – since its obvious that laporta is paying his pr team to worship his name on various forums, not the least this one.
Im reveling in their inaptness and textbook procedure on how not to run a business.
All Im saying is keep it up, its wonderful to see your club implode.
“I don’t care about your club and their finances.”
Literally the funniest thing you’ve ever posted on here.
@John
For a person who always hangs up on context, sometimes (well most of the times actually) your selective cognitive functions get the better of you.
Re-read the whole post and come back.
As the saying goes nothing changes if you dont change anything.
Last time i checked every football club in the world had debt of some kind no matter how big or small it happens.
Last time I checked yours is top on debt list with 1.35 bil – at least twice our debt.
Getting more debts is quite opposite on genius.
In case you havent been paying attention, all these levers are an euphemism for borrowing money.
But as I mentioned, go on with it, bankruptcy incoming 🤣🤣
Use pair acting as if man city themselves are squeaky clean brilliant 🤣😂
Whining little kids, Barca are a disgrace, like an “entitled “ petulant child, thinking everyone owes them, living in the past, and be nice if they could pay their “tab” first, before ordering more, sad snd pathetic
Still your best players have taken pay-cut to join them. There has to be something special about them, isn’t it?
“bEsT PlaYerS”
In actual reality, you are talking about players past their prime or players who were unable to incorporate in two different teams, some thirty upwards, who would be forced to take a pay cut either way where ever they ended up.
You are flattering yourself and copying John F.s false dichotomy as none of players you achieved are actually top. They merely opted for Spanish Leagues relevance over Arab league.
Barca is the best club in the world.
I have never seen that guy type your club in other terms than “bribELona.”
Looks like one of his fanboys imposting, the damage he does to you people is impressive.
