The FC Barcelona still conserves hopes to be able to sell to Philippe Coutinho, Ivan Rakitic or Rafinha Alcántara if it arrives a good offer and in hardly three days will close a very important door: the market of traspasos of the Premier League. Next Thursday, it closes the window, by what the English clubs will not be able to fichar more.

His time there was fantastic. It would be difficult for him go to a rival. Every time that speak of this have had the same conversation, would result him difficult play for another club in the Premier League". In three days, necesittaría a miracle to close his turn to England.
