Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona wants to sign a young left centre-back who has at least five good years left and could play alongside Barcelona central defender Gerard Piqué.

Several players who had the necessary qualities and with whom Barcelona has already been negotiating in the past, would for a reason of age have been excluded from the list of priority targets, among which AS Roma central defender and Brazilian international Juan (30) and Inter Milan central defender and Romanian international Cristian Chivu (28 - picture).

Villarreal central defender Gonzalo Rodríguez (25) would on the other hand be considered to be too injury-prone, while Liverpool central defender and Danish international Daniel Agger (24), who has also been followed, isn't an option anymore after he recently signed a renewal with the English Premier League club.

groga said...: Are you following? I would say: Chygrynskiy, Chygrynskiy and Chygrynskiy.

And way behind: Kompany, Miranda, Evans, Vertonghen. Or they just stick with Muniesa...; 5 August 2009 at 12:04
fcbee said...: Agger on a cut price would have been nice. Although we have good talents coming, so maybe it would on the contrary be best to go after someone who has only a couple of years left instead of a young guy.; 5 August 2009 at 12:14

Iniesta Goooooaaaaal !!!!! said...: Kompany !!! Can also play as a defending midfielder !!!; 5 August 2009 at 13:53
IBES said...: Prefer to have someone near the end of their career who has no problem being a backup. Someone like Lucio, but who will accept not starting every game.

Not too impressed with Chivu though or any of the other guys mentioned.; 5 August 2009 at 16:25
