Elmundodeportivo says yes to the City-Barca friendly, quite clearly stated here (unfortunately I have to go out so cant translate it now for you but please use online translator). I should point out that the Valencia friendly was clearly stated in the Valencian press many weeks before City would even confirm it (and indeed denied it), eventually doing so about 2 weeks before:

El Barça jugará un 'bolo' estival de lujo contra el Manchester City, campeón de la Premier inglesa y equipo en el que milita Yaya Touré, ex azulgrana añorado por muchos aficionados del Barça.

El amistoso tendrá lugar en Inglaterra el próximo 8 de agosto, en plena cuenta atrás del arranque de la Liga española, previsto para el fin de semana del 18 y el 19-A.

Con este test de altura el Barcelona cierra su programa de pretemporada. Cabe recordar que el 24 de julio el equipo de Tito Vilanova se enfrentará al Hamburgo en Alemania, el 28-J, a una selección de jugadores marroquíes en Tánger y el 4 de agosto, al PSG en París.

En el mes de agosto, el Barça asimismo afrontará el Gamper, previsto para el día 12, así como la Supercopa de España contra el Madrid, que se jugará a doble partido, en un principio el 22 y el 29-A.

Precisamente la Supercopa y el amistoso contra el City se perfilan como las dos grandes citas de un verano azulgrana sin stage ni gira de por medio. Touré al margen, en el conjunto de Roberto Mancini también destacan el Kun Agüero, buen amigo de Messi, o el ex valencianista David Silva.

Touré ha dejado una puerta abierta a un posible regreso al Barça, donde sería bienvenido por la garra, el empuje y los centímetros que aportaría
