Asturias regional newspapers La Voz de Asturias and La Nueva España claim that Barcelona isn't willing to let Barcelona goalkeeper Albert Jorquera (29), whose contract with Barcelona expires in 2010, leave on loan to Spanish first division club Sporting Gijón.
Asturias regional newspaper El Comercio claims that it was Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola who stopped the talks, after Barcelona had already agreed to start the negotiations. La Voz de Asturias claims that the Barcelona technical staff wants to have three goalkeepers at their disposal for the rest of the season.
El Comercio claims that Jorquera, who is represented by player's agent Arturo Canales, had been offered to Sporting and was one of the main winter targets of the club earlier this week. Sporting wanted to sign Jorquera on loan until the end of the season with Barcelona paying part of his salary.
