Manchester City is having an unexpected player drain after winning all the titles in the previous season. Pep Guardiola's team lost its captain and now, many other elements are close to leaving. This week, the case of a player who does not seem to want to stay at the club and FC Barcelona is on the way to sign him was surprising. Surprisingly, it is not Bernardo Silva.

 

Xavi has an admirable and enviable squad for any coach in world soccer. However, he has not used a natural full-back for some time. In fact, last season he alternated with Ronald Araújo and Jules Koundé, two central defenders who were not used to playing on the wing, although they did well.

This decision of Xavi's even cost him some discussion with the French defender, who had declared that his favorite position is that of the central defender and not to go on the flank. Therefore, one of the candidates who was very close to arriving in Catalonia last market was Joao Cancelo and it sounds strange that Barça is still not interested again.

 

The price he costs Barcelona

Josep Guardiola does not want him and has already told him that he will not have a place.Therefore, the Portuguese will look for a way out.The numbers of the operation will not fit unless all parties greatly lower their claims. Between the loan fee that City would like to charge and the player's tab, Cancelo would cost Barça a figure just over €20 million, something they cannot pay because of Financial Fair Play, as he had no exit.
