Madrid sports tabloid As that Barcelona sports director Txiki Begiristain has already sounded out or been offered twenty-two players this year.

The main reason why Barcelona still didn't sign any players would mainly be the lack of financial means.

The list of 22 players would consist of the following names:

Sergio Asenjo (Real Valladolid)
Karim Benzema (Olympique Lyon)
Bruno Alves (Porto)
Dmytro Chygrynskiy (Shakhtar Donetsk)
Luis Filipe (Deportivo La Coruña)

Diego Forlán (Atlético Madrid)
Eden Hazard (Lille)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter Milan)
Keirrison (Palmeiras)
Florent Malouda (Chelsea)
Javier Mascherano (Liverpool)

Juan Mata (Valencia)
Maxwell (Inter Milan)
Felipe Melo (Fiorentina)
Franck Ribéry (Bayern Munich)
Robinho (Manchester City)

David Silva (Valencia)
Robin van Persie (Arsenal)
Nemanja Vidic (Manchester United)
David Villa (Valencia)

Aussie Barca Fan said...: Hey they aren't bad players to be linked with however I think Madrid would probably hold the record. Last I heard they were interested in Rafa Nadal lol; 25 June 2009 at 03:04

buj said...: That coming from a paper based in the city whose team did not win anything this season, who needs to do wholesale changes, and yet only able to secure the services of two players. hmmm....

So much for flush with money. Mounting debts and yet willing to pay overprice for players. Compare that to FCB, no debt and prudent. Wise.

I bet they are now regretting that move as every player they made contact with now wants more than their real value. I will not be surprised if RM is unable to buy anymore highly rated players such as Ribery or Villa this season and have to make do with their current squad. And I guess so do Barca becoz of RM stupidity.; 25 June 2009 at 06:03

So is this why Man Utd haven't signed anyone either? Silly AS.; 25 June 2009 at 08:33

Dude said...: Overwhelming list of great players... but i believe Barca are only focusing on 3 targets this summer

1) Villa
2) Luis Felipe
3) Zhirkov

No money should be spent on a GK since Barca extended Valdes's contract and Pinto proved he can compete still... that way they can focus their budget on these 3

And looking at the pic... i think Txiki and I have the same phone; 25 June 2009 at 22:59
