Josep María Bartomeu abandoned the night of yesterday the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper without achieving fichar to the greater wishes of Ronald Koeman: the Dutch forward Memphis Depay, of the Olympique Lyon, and Eric García, the Spanish defence of the Manchester City. The intention of Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembélé to remain in the club were the limitantes.

The exit of Luis Suárez, Arturo Vidal or Ivan Rakitić had the intention to relieve the big load salarial of the Barça, that will save around 80 million euros in wages. However, the actions of the club were not sufficient to fulfil the wishes of the Dutch technician that arrived to Can Barça during this summer to revolutionise to the team.

The refusal of the players ocasionó that the club remained without the two stars that expected fichar.

The Barcelona was not in conditions to pay the 20 millions (10 fixed and 10 in variables) that asked the 'citizens', although the central only has agreement to the end of the season.

Anyway, as they aim several English means, Eric García would have communicated him to the directive of the City that his wish is to go back to the Barcelona and will do it for the next season, when it culminate his agreement and turn into free agent.
