FC Barcelona has always preached they are different, that one of the elements they hold close & cultivate is to create local talent for the Club. It´s propaganda , as with most other Clubs.
FC Barcelona "home grown" young midfield talent Thiago Alcantra is to leave the Club because he can´t find a regular place. The irony & the truth is that FC Barcelona prefers to spent a whooping 60-70M€ on an outside & still unproven player in European Football like Neymar.
The father of Thiago, ex Brazilian International Mazinho, warned Barcelona early this season. Thaigo wishes to stay & play at FC Barcelona, but if he can´t get regular play & he cant continue evolving Thaigo will have to move elsewhere to grow.
The player had a 90 M€ contract release clause, but because he has not played this season a "determined number of games", his contract release clause falls to 18 M€ & naturally this has made the midfielder "top prize" in the European signing market.
Latest news is that Thiago will be leaving FC Barcelona ´& that the player has an "agreement" elsewhere for next season. Bayern Munich is rumoured to be interested but everyone is pointing to England & concretely Manchester United which is rumoured to be preparing the 18M€ needed.
Thiago is an immense young Football talent & already a Spanish International, the player is destined to be a great in European Football, but as with the insects FC Barcelona prefers to smash itself against the bright lights of others. The 60-70M€ price figure for Neymar is an "investment risk" when you have the "sure thing" in your back yard & free.
