Italian television channel Sky claims that Barcelona is interested in Fiorentina goalkeeper Sébastien Frey (29).

Barcelona reportedly could try to include Barcelona central defender and Mexican international Rafael Márquez (30) in a bid for the French goalkeeper, which would make Fiorentina willing to accept an offer. Italian sports paper La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Barcelona might offer 12 million euro° plus Márquez.

Asked about the rumours linking Frey to Barcelona, the player's agent Carlo Pallavicino has nevertheless said in an interview with Tuscany regional newspaper Il Giornale della Toscana that the goalkeeper will continue at Fiorentina: "You always have that kind of rumours this time of the year, linking players to the big clubs. But I'm willing to bet that Frey, Mutu and Felipe Melo will not leave Firenze. Barcelona? I repeat: Seba won't move."

Asked about the rumous linking Lazio Roma forward and Macedonian international Goran Pandev (25) to several European top clubs, the player's agent Carlo Pallavicino has said in an interview with Italian radio station Radio Kiss Kiss that six Champions League quarter-finalists are interested in the striker:

"Before talking about the transfer rumours, we should first wait for the Italian cup final in a couple of weeks. This should be the priority now. We also shouldn't forget that Pandev has a contract until 2010. That's why it's not up to us to deny or confirm anything.

I won't be surprised if Lazio proposes to renew the contract but Pandev is the object of desire for half of Europe. With his contract expiring in 2010 and the possibility of using the Article 17 of the FIFA Transfer Regulations, it is normal that it's a player who is wanted by many clubs. I only say that, of the eight teams who participated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, six of them want to sign him."
