Villa leaving is still a high possibility, though. Barca had the same players when Zlatan was there and he was shipped off also. Sanchez in could mean he's leaving to help fund the deal. They know he'd have a lot of suitors with City and then El Fuckwit at Chelsea would no doubt persuade his best mate who he's never talked to Abramovic to whip out the cheque book.
Sanchez, Pedro, Messi, Afellay, as well as Iniesta, Adriano and Keita capable of playing there, then Jeffren and countless others vying for two spots.
The only thing that may keep him there is their lack of natural strikers.
