Manchester City and incoming coach Pep Guardiola have agreed not sign any Barcelona players.
Sport says City have allowed him total liberty to set up a new team capable of winning everything in the years ahead, but Pep and the club directors will not move for any Barcelona players, unless the Blaugrana puts them on the market.
They want to avoid institutional conflict and will avoid trying to lure Barcelona players.
Pep has been speaking to Txiki Begiristain, City's sporting director, for weeks, with the objective of moving forward with the project.
