The Catalan Sport newspaper, which is close to Barcelona, published a lengthy report, in which it spoke about the Portuguese Nelson Simido’s move to the Premier League champions Manchester City.
Sport said that next week will be decisive about the agreement between Manchester City and Barcelona on the value of the deal, especially after Simedo gave the green light to leave for England.
The newspaper said that Manchester City tried to get the other Portuguese Kansilo in the negotiations, but the League champion wants the interview to be pure financial, especially since the potential amount reaches 40 million euros.
The price mentioned by Sport is considered satisfactory to Barcelona’s aspirations, especially since it brought Simido three seasons nearly 30 million euros, noting that Simido failed to reserve a key place for him after Serge Roberto returned to the full-back position.
Simido’s name has been mentioned in many exchanges that newspapers have talked about in the past weeks, as reports today confirm that the 26-year-old prefers to move to England more than Italy after he has thrown his name with Inter and Juventus.
The Portuguese international is doing a mixed performance with the Blaugrana and it seems clear that he has not adapted to the style of Barcelona playing, which Manchester City coach Guardiola may be able to overcome, given his urgent need for a full back in the capabilities of Simedo.
Sport confirmed that the offering of Simedo on the transfer market is more attractive than other names that Barcelona wants to take advantage of the value of its sale, such as the Brazilian Arthur and the Croatian Rakitic.
