🔄 (STERLING): Barcelona will request the loan of Raheem Sterling in January.

• Mateu Alemany was already in Manchester to negotiate his signing in the summer and Barça will try again in the winter market.

@scapde_45 • In the summer Barça's idea was get Sterling through a swap with Griezmann, Dembélé or Sergi Roberto, or sign him on loan.

• The truth is that the operation was close to being done, but in the end it did not happen.

@scapde_45 • Sterling was an important player for Pep when he arrived but his relevance has declined recently. He has found himself benched more often than not.

• But he is physically fit as he played the entire matches against Moldova & Poland for England.

@scapde_45 • Sterling is predisposed to join Barcelona. The 26-year old has spent seven seasons at Manchester City and now it's time for him to open new horizons.

• In his 297 games for the Blue side of Manchester, Sterling has 115 goals and 87 assists.

@scapde_45 • Any option for Sterling to end up at Barcelona in January would happen if Pep Guardiola authorizes his departure.

• Everything would probably have been easier if Manchester City had signed Harry Kane in the summer.

Via (🟡): @scapde_45 [sport]
@scapde_45 • With several sales and salary reductions Barcelona will have more margin to sign players in January and even more so in the summer.

• Barça and Sterling have approved the move. Now Pep and Manchester City's final push is needed.

❗There are some board members that are unsure it would be wise to keep Koeman until the end of the season.

• Meanwhile Laporta doesn't want to make a reactionary decision, who has never fired a coach mid-season.
#FCB

Via (🟢): @moillorens & @samuelmarsden
@moillorens @samuelmarsden • However, the Bayern result led to nerves among the board regarding Barca's prospects this season.

• And it took Jordi Cruyff to calm things down and offer some perspective.
#FCB

Via (🟢): @moillorens & @samuelmarsden
@moillorens @samuelmarsden • Money is no longer a hurdle in terms of paying Koeman off, but the lack of options available to replace him remains a problem.

🎙Eduard Romeu, economic vice-president of Barcelona, to @EsportsRAC1.

🗣 "The agreement with CVC involved €2.6 billion investment and, with the parameters of the League, returning €22 billion."
#FCB 💰
@EsportsRAC1 🎙Eduard Romeu continues..

🗣 "The CVC would sign an operation above a cost of 13%. We have reached an agreement with Goldman Sachs for a long-term operation at a cost of less than 2%. It would be to make the catwalk."
#FCB 💰
@EsportsRAC1 🎙Eduard Romeu continues..

🗣 "There were encounters between Tebas & Laporta, but they were found without showing any role. When these papers were demanded they didn't reach us, when they did reach us we had to sign them in half an hour. The CEO said it was impossible to sign."
