But vice president Josep Bartomeu immediately denied the club had started preparing a move.

‘No we have had no contact with him. I can say that the story is not true,’ he said.
City boss Manuel Pellegrini said he believed Aguero does not want to leave City when asked about him being linked to Real Madrid last week.

One player who will be at Barcelona next season is Andres Iniesta.
Sources close to the player have confirmed the chance of him leaving the Camp Nou are non-existent and Bartomeu added: ‘Talks are going well, both sides want the same thing so there will only be one conclusion.
