Nevertheless, from Manchester continue to consider that the price of the player does not fall below 70 million. The philosophy of Guardiola’s team is clear with respect to departures: if the player wants to go to Barcelona, ​​they will not put any impediment on him as long as he brings an offer that conforms to the entity’s financial policy. And they don’t lose 70 kilos.
