After so many ups and downs, Barça has returned to its best form on the field. At least, that's what the Catalan team's latest great victory over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup shows. In that sense, excitement has once again settled around the club, keeping in mind that the winter transfer market is already underway.
It's no lie that Barça's first team's good momentum has significantly increased the value of the players in Hansi Flick's team. Consequently, the top elite teams that keep an eye on the Catalan team have once again shown their interest in certain players. One of the main interested parties has been Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, whose main goal is to strengthen its defense with a star from FC Barcelona.
A Decisive Target
Manchester City isn't going through its best phase in the Premier League and Pep Guardiola is having many problems turning around his team's difficult situation. This has surprised many, considering the long period of dominance by the 'citizen' club and the great players in its team. Now, the English team shows clear signs of wear and the club already knows they need to undergo a renewal.
In this context, as expected, from England they already assure that Manchester City has approached Barça with a significant offer on the table. They believe that the solution to a large part of their problems lies in the first team culé and they want to take this captain at all costs. Pep Guardiola knows FC Barcelona well and is aware of the potential of the team now led by Hansi Flick.
Concrete Offer
According to the latest information circulating around Barça, Manchester City has already made a 70 million euro offer to Deco for Ronald Araújo. The Uruguayan center-back fits into Pep Guardiola's plans and they want him to be the most important piece in the renewed 'citizen' defense. Thus, his speed, strength, and leadership are viewed very favorably in England.
Manchester City's proposal has sparked many debates in the culé offices. Ronald Araújo still hasn't solved his future with Barça, which doesn't want to let the player go and be left empty-handed. Thus, the next few hours will be crucial to see how this situation is solved.
