The Management Commission is preparing for the winter market. Barca missed out on signing Depay and Eric García last summer and will not rest until they have them in their ranks.
So this will be Barcelona's double priority in January. 'Mundo Deportivo' state that FC Barcelona want them to arrive in the next window.
For that, they are clear of the road map they will follow. Barca are currently speaking with the agents of Depay and Eric García with some assiduity. They are in charge of conveying their interest, they want both players to know that they are very much taken into account.
The first thing is that Depay and Eric García give the ok. Once they manage this, the Catalan newspaper says, Barca will sit down to negotiate with Lyon and Manchester City, the clubs that own Depay and Eric García respectively.
The fact that both Depay and Eric Garcia end their contract in June 2021 is in Barca's favour. If Barca manage to convince both players, the clubs would be left with no choice but to accept a minimum amount in January... or resign themselves to losing them completely free of charge in the summer of 2021.
However, 'Mundo Deportivo' says that, in order to get Depay and Eric García to arrive in January, Barca would have to first give an exit to a player. Otherwise, both deals would have to wait.
