Explanations. Due to a terrible financial crisis, FC Barcelona did not have much leeway to strengthen this summer. Despite everything, Memphis Depay, Eric Garcia or even Sergio Agüero have joined the Catalan club. But Joan Laporta had no shortage of ideas to expand Barca's squad even further. And after Garcia and Agüero , he would still have liked to go dig to Manchester City , with a particular interest in Raheem Sterling. According to information from Catalunya Radio, Joan Laporta could have welcomed Raheem Sterling this summer, taking advantage in particular of the interest of Manchester City for Ousmane Dembélé for that. So, while an exchange Dembélé/Araujo against Sterling/Laporte would have been very complex, it is ultimately a crossover between Ousmane Dembélé and Raheem Sterling which could have been born. However, as explained by the Catalan media, the Briton would not have wanted to pack his bags this summer, thus shattering the operation. 
Sterling said no!
