Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Manchester United and Juventus are the main candidates to sign Barcelona Juvenil A attacking midfielder and Spanish youth international Iago Falqué (18).
Iago's agent is currently negotiating a transfer with several European clubs after the player had been told that he won't be promoted to Barcelona Atlètic this summer (read more here). Since Iago would prefer to join Manchester United, the English champions are his most probable destination.
With Barcelona Atlètic coach Luis Enrique not counting on Iago this season, Barcelona would be considering to let Iago leave for free if his new club agrees to include some clauses in the deal, namely: an option to buy the player back at a reduced price next summer, the payment of 1 million euro° if he plays 30 matches for his new club and a part of the transfer fee if Iago is sold later on.
Asked about the situation, Luis Enrique said to journalists this weekend that he doesn't plan to promote Iago this summer: "It's a very interesting player but for the Juvenil A. He has a bright future ahead and the club counts on him but I already told the player that my team already has six forwards which would leave him very few chances to play. We're looking how to solve the situation and we're talking with other clubs."
Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Iago could in the end stay with Barcelona if Barcelona Atlètic wing attacker Pedro (21) would be permanently promoted to the first team.

So, there is no loaning option? Why would we give up a youngster for free?
My guess: his contract expires next year and he doesn't want to sign a renewal because he's not promoted.
I don't think Enrique handled his situation well at all. He could turn out to be one of those players that leave become a fantastic player and never come back because he felt disrespected.
With Pedro promoted permantently now, does it mean Iago is staying? Sure hope so.
They are crazy if they let him go....look at this..he scores from a corner!!!!

The only way this makes sense to me is if Barcelona include a buy back clause in the deal. Do we really need another Pique case on our hands? I think not!
I also fail to see how a move to another big club is going to benefit the youngster? He's not going to make United's first team squad. So he would be stuck playing for their youth club which is really no different than being stuck playing for Barcelona's youth club. Wouldn't it had made more sense to loan the lad out to a Segunda Division team instead?
I just wonder who's best interests are being served here? I understand if there's no room for him at the inn, but how is a move to Manchester United for the betterment of the player? He's still a few years away from making any sort of significant impact on a squad. I just fail to understand the logic in this move. At best he turns into a starlet and Manchester United have the next Fabregas on their hands. At worst, his opportunities are few and far between and he becomes a vagabond player bouncing from team to team. In either case it doesn't benefit Barcelona. So who's "interests" are of more importance? the club's? or the player's?
Capel left because he was homesick.
I dont want to let him go...wake up enrique!!!!! zio from indonesia
