The former Valencia man will offer the Barcelona boss the freedom to be more flexible with his formations, tactics and team selections.

As such, Barca hope to drive down City’s cash price by including players in their next offer. Sergino Dest, Sergi Roberto, Oscar Mingueza and Philippe Coutinho have all been mentioned as makeweights.”
