It’s said Pep met Barca president Joan Laporta for talks at a golf legends event in Mallorca this week, competing against the likes of Gabriel Batistuta and Ruud Gullit.
And he is ready to offer up seven City stars in order to secure his top summer targets.
It’s believed defender Aymeric Laporte will be allowed to leave after being ousted from Guardiola’s starting XI by Ruben Dias.
Laporte has just won his first cap for Spain ahead of Monday’s Euros clash with Sweden.
And Barcelona see him as the ideal signing should Clement Lenglet or Samuel Umtiti leave.
Raheem Sterling was the second player offered to the Catalans after struggling for minutes.
He has apparently long been open to joining either Barcelona or Real Madrid.
And the report adds a meeting between Nou Camp chiefs and Sterling’s representatives took place ‘recently’.
