Barcelona have a big signing from Manchester City!

Barcelona is currently in a major football crisis. It is ninth in the league, a position taken away by coach Ronald Koeman. He is expected to be replaced by Xavi and it seems that he has already found his first big signing!

The Catalan club has completely lost face after Messi’s departure and is still searching. The team is going through a generational change, it’s not going well in terms of play and certainly not in terms of results. That’s why coach Ronald Koeman was sacked.

There are several candidates to replace him, but the most likely option seems to be the arrival of club legend Xavi. According to the latest reports, president Laporta is about to fly to Qatar to negotiate specific terms with Xavi.

Surely some reinforcements will have to come to Barcelona. Memphis Depay’s attacking play is not enough for Barcelona’s ambitions. However, the Catalans also have problems at the back.

According to foreign reports, the first reinforcement that could head to Camp Nou is Raheem Sterling from Manchester City. This is a 26-year-old English international, who Barcelona have been after in the past. And Xavi was also supposed to have blessed this purchase.

Moreover, Sterling would fit perfectly into the 4-3-3 system that Xavi will probably want to play with the team. It would be a return to the formation that has brought Barcelona the most success.

Sterling himself is said to be in favour of the transfer. Moreover, he stated about a month ago that if a big team where he could have maximum workload was interested in his services, he would be in favour of the change.
