Сеск: “Венгер сказал, чтобы я был спокоен, так как теперь они сами будут вести переговоры”  

Игроки сборной Испании пытаются абстрагироваться от слухов, хотя это совсем не простая задача. Именно поэтому, Сеск Фабрегас захотел прояснить свое положение и поговорил несколько дней назад с тренером “Арсенала” Арсеном Венгером.

    Сам игрок открыл некоторые детали этого разговора: “У меня был длинный разговор с Венгером. И это, возможно, был самый лучший разговор в моей жизни. Так как я его очень уважаю, то не хочу говорить об этом”, - сказал Сеск, пытаясь избежать вопросов о разговоре с тренером.

    Но в итоге все же кое-что поведал: “Венгер сказал мне, чтобы я сконцентрировался на своей игре и Мундиале. Что возьмет в свои руки переговоры по поводу моего будущего. И это именно то, что я и пытаюсь делать: сконцентрироваться на свей игре. Больше я ничего не хочу говорить, а хочу сосредоточиться на Мундиале. Остальное это будущее, а я не интересуюсь будущим”, - заключил полузащитник.

Защитник «Барселоны» Дмитрий Чигринский рассказал, что был готов к трудностям на протяжении первого сезона в чемпионате Испании, а также поделился мнением, что сборная Украины способна выиграть ЧЕ-2012.

«Играть в футболке этого клуба – моя детская мечта и рад, что сумел ее осуществить. Я отдавал себе отчет, что в таком великом клубе мне будет непросто заиграть в основном составе. Поэтому заранее подготовился к любой ситуации. Дела могут пойти хорошо или плохо, это уж как повезет.

Отношения внутри команды невероятные. У нас нет распределения на так называемые группировки. «Барселона» — это дружная семья.

Guardiola and Txiki have reserached the market for a new winger and now know what their prices are. The best thing for Barça to do is wait and see what the other major European teams do during their summer transfer window. The outcome of the Ibrahimovic and Cesc sagas will influence Guardiola’s next steps in terms of new signings. Txiki and his technical staff are looking at several alternatives to suit all price ranges.

The most expensive and desirable option offered by the international market is the Argentinian Angel Di Maria. Barça may use the confusion that Real Madrid is causing, by misleading the player and only wanting a permanent deal from Benfica, to try and offer a better contract to both player and club. Di Maria is a player who will become much more expensive if he performs well in the World Cup – There is no doubt that Benfica will not release him for less than 35 million euros.

The next option has to be Valencia CF’s Juan Manuel Mata. The Valencia player would be delighted with his arrival in the Barça dressing room and his club has also shown its willingness to negotiating a second transfer with FC Barcelona this summer – After selling Villa to us last week. The Spanish winger is currently valued around the 23 million euros mark.

Finally, we have 'Chori' Castro from Mallorca. The 25-year-old continues to improve his game and is convinced he could make a huge leap in quality if he was to be surrounded by FCB’s quality players. The price for him would just be 4 million.

The Argentinian playmaker Javier Mascherano will be the number one target for FC Barcelona if Yaya Touré decides to leave the Blaugrana squad for the Premier League. Let’s not forget that Barça bid for him last season and will do it again if the Ivorian giant moved to England.

Guardiola and his coaching squad do not want any gaps in their squads next season. Even though the club is working tirelessly to sign Cesc Fabregas, Pep doesn’t feel the Arsenal captain can play as a defensive midfielder, which would leave Sergio Busquets with no competition for that position. 

As a result, the leading candidate for the job is the same as it was last summer, the Argentine Javier Mascherano from Liverpool. His versatility is impressive: Rafa Benitez has played him in several positions, including the right side – which is one more reason to have him in the team.


FCB know that the English club will not be willing to negotiate (especially after the departure of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid last summer). This time round, Liverpool will be faced with a moral commitment to Mascherano, as this would be the Argentinians's second request to join Barça.

Mascherano, who turns 26 on June 8 and is now with his national team, has a contract with the 'Reds' until the end of June 2012. If he played for Liverpool this year and didn’t renew his contract, the trasnfer fee would be reduced significantly. In fact, the player refused to accept a contract extension last December from his current club, which shows that he was waiting for a new adventure elsewhere.

Last year, FC Barcelona offered 20 million euros for the midfielder, while the Reds asked for 50. Finally, the transfer of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid ended any possibility of reaching an agreement.

FC Barcelona l-ar putea ceda pe Zlatan Ibrahimovic la AC Milan, investind o parte din bani in transferul lui Juan Mata de la Valencia
Ibrahimovic simte ca “viitorul sau este la FC Barcelona”, dupa cum afirma agentul sau, Mino Raiola, dar realitatea este ca suedezul are sanse bune sa paraseasca gruparea catalana in aceasta vara. Venirea lui David Villa ridica serioase semne de intrebare privind locul de titular al suedezului, care chiar si in absenta internationalului iberic a fost nevoit sa priveasca ultimele meciuri ale Barcelonei din campionat de pe banca de rezerve. Ibrahimovic a avut un retur dezamagitor pe Camp Nou si are motive sa simta presiunea tribunei care asteapta de la atacantul central al formatiei blaugrana nu doar multe goluri, dar mai ales o participare activa la jocul colectiv. Ibrahimovic nu a excelat la niciunul din aceste capitole in 2010, publicul este in mod evident nemultumit de prestatia sa si nici Guardiola nu pare dispus sa ii acorde la infinit sanse. Venirea lui David Villa complica si mai mult situatia suedezului, fiindca El Guaje nu va avea probleme de adaptare si cu siguranta va face tot posibilul sa isi asigure un loc de titular in centrul atacului, acolo unde el insusi a declarat ca se simte cel mai bine.

Presa din Spania si Italia aloca spatii tot mai largi subiectului AC Milan ca posibila destinatie a suedezului, argumentand ca in momentul de fata Ibra are nevoie de aceasta echipa in aceeasi masura in care rosonerri ar avea nevoie de el. Proprietarul clubului milanez, Silvio Berlusconi, a recunoscut ca este un admirator al suedezului, iar acesta ar putea fi solutia iesirii echipei de pe San Siro dintr-o criza prelungita. Cu rivala locala Inter reusind tripla campionat – cupa – Liga Campionilor, AC Milan este obligata la ceva spectaculos in aceasta vara, iar aducerea fostului golgheter nerazzur Ibrahimovic ar fi cu adevarat o lovitura de imagine.

Exista asadar perspectivele unei rupturi intre Barcelona si nouarul sau din ultimul sezon si mai mult ca sigur ca niciuna din parti nu ar varsa prea multe lacrimi daca acest scenariu ar deveni realitate. In aceste conditii, conducerea Barcelonei este obligata (asa cum a cerut chiar candidatul la presedintie Sandro Rosell) sa analizeze toate variantele, o posibila solutie fiind cumpararea lui Juan Mata de la Valencia, jucator despre a carui posibila venire pe Camp Nou se vorbeste de mai bine de un an. Valencia il considera pe Mata unul din stalpii noii echipe care se contureaza pe Mestalla, dar o suma de 20-25 de milioane de euro ar putea inlatura acest impediment. In plus, insusi jucatorul a carui cariera este in ascensiune ar putea fi tentat sa plece, considerand ca o echipa a Valenciei fara Villa si Silva ar fi si mai putin competitiva fata de cea din ultimul sezon, iar sansele la trofee sunt practic nule.

Dupa ce presa din Italia anunta ca gigantii rusi de la Gazprom vor prelua 30% din Milan pentru 180 de milioane de euro, echipa lui Berlusconi propune schimbul verii!

Milanul si Barcelona sunt la un pas de schimbul sezonului! Italienii vor un super jucator si sunt gata sa plateasca pe suedezul Zlatan Ibrahimovic  35 de milioane de euro  plus  Huntelaar sau Borriello!

El Mundo Deportivo scrie ca jucatorul pe care Barcelona l-a anuntat ca poate pleca in cazul unui oferte bune spune ca ar fi de acord cu mutarea chiar daca asta ar insemna ca va ajunge la rivala Milan dupa 3 ani petrecuti la Inter!

Barcelona si-a facut lista de mijlocasi pentru noul sezon!

Mijlocasul argentinian Angel Di Maria, de la Benfica Lisabona, Juan Manuel Mata  de la Valencia si Gonzalo Castro Irizabal de la Mallorca sunt variantele intre care Barcelona trebuie sa aleaga.

In capul listei este 'omul rabona' - Angel Di Maria - asa cum este numit jucatorul pentru care Real ar fi pregatita sa plateasca suma de 40 milioane de euro prevazuta in clauza de reziliere!

Ce este rabona? Rabona, lovitura inventata Giovanni Roccotelli, fost jucator la Ascoli in anii ’80 si facuta celebra de Maradona prespune ca piciorul care loveste mingea este trecut prin spatele celui de sprijin
