The president of FC Barcelona and the Manchester City coach celebrated the titles of both entities
The appointment arrives with the Barcelona interest in Gündogan and Cancelo, both in the ‘citizen’ team
Joan Laporta and Pep Guardiola are good friends. They have never hidden it. And that is why they took advantage of Sunday night to meet again in the heat of a good table. The two of them, along with other friends, shared a table and tablecloth in a central and well-known restaurant in Barcelona. They were captured by ‘Jijantes’, who reports that it was a dinner to celebrate the successes of Barça and Manchester City this season.
The Catalans have won the Spanish Super Cup and the League while the ‘citizens’ have achieved the first treble in their history, with their first Champions League as the most important title.
But Possibly at dinner two very specific names were also discussed. Gundogan’s and Cancelo’s. The first is an objective for Barça to reinforce its midfield. For Xavi it is a priority objective but Guardiola wants to keep him and is improving the renewal offer. The player’s contract expires on June 30.
The Barça club is waiting to find out if they will be able to sign him up to present him with a formal offer, although they have already informed him that they offer him a three-year contract and a token of close to 11 million euros.
The other name that surely appeared during dinner is that of Cancelo. Barça is looking for and needs a right-back and City wants to get rid of the player, although they do not plan to give him away. The formula for him to reach Can Barça could be through a transfer. It’s one of Deco’s goals.
