Barcelona tried to sign Manchester City star in January – but poor timing meant deal was not possible

According to the report from football-espana, Barcelona failed to bring anyone in during the winter transfer window, aside from Vitor Roque, who arrived six months after officially signing for the club. They tried to, although circumstances meant that it was not possible.informationguidenigeria

The report have it that for much of the window, they couldn’t sign anyone because of the lack of space in FFP. However, that situation changed when Alejandro Balde was ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury. His salary was able to be freed up, similar to what was done with Gavi to ensure Roque’s arrival.JAMB Result
