Raheem Sterling has turned into one of the big aims of the FC Barcelona to reinforce the forward, but is an extremely complicated signing because the English attacker tiene agreement with the Manchester City until 2023 and, although his intention would be to abandon the team, the 'citizens' will not leave the easy way. Besides, it is one of the better players paid of the Premier League and, if it goes out of the Etihad Stadium, is little likely that reduce his pretences salariales to the level that could assume the club.
In spite of this panorama, remembering besides that for any signing the Barça has to govern by the rule '1 to 4' of LaLiga, there is some 'hope' in the Barcelona picture after the last statements of Sterling, with which left opened the door of exit of the City, something that did not expect his trainer Pep Guardiola, as he same has recognised it in front of the media, this Friday.
The one of Santpedor showed surprised, in fact. "It did not know it. And I think that the club neither", confessed. "Raheem Is our player, has been very important for the club. We will see that it happens, but I can not ensure minutes to anybody. What want of Sterling, and of all my players, is that they are satisfied here. If they are not it, will have to take a decision", said Guardiola.
The ex of the FC Barcelona left him a very clear message: it has to speak in the field for like this add minutes and win, again, his confidence and leadership in the team: "I Think that the players have to speak in the lawn. They know that they always go to be involved, with the quantity of parties that have. But my message is that all my players have to struggle by his minutes in the trainings and parties", stood out.
Future in the air?
Guardiola Understands that the competition of Sterling is very big: "I Think that the players have to speak in the lawn. They know that they always go to be involved, with the quantity of parties that have. But my message is that all my players have to struggle by his minutes in the trainings and parties", aimed the technician, that did not hint on the renewal of the agreement of the English: "If it will renew? I am not involved in the agreements of the players…"
Pep goes back to leave the continuity of Raheem in the air, because it has left clear that no him 'will give' alone minutes because it is not happy with his situation in the club. Meanwhile, from the Barça expect to have an opportunity to carry it to the Camp Nou in a near future, to turn into one of the options to reinforce the forward. The economic factor, as always, will be key for any movement.
