Madrid sports tabloid As claims that Barcelona will start this week new talks on the transfer of Valencia left winger and Spanish international David Silva (22).
Barcelona is ready to push hard for Silva since both Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola and Barcelona sports director Txiki Begiristain consider that the player could be a key figure in the new project.
Barcelona has held several meetings with representatives of Silva over the last weeks and, with the European championship finalized, wants now to sit around the table with Valencia. Silva's agent Amadeo Rangel would meet in the beginning of this week with Valencia sports director Juan Sánchez.
The tabloid claims that Barcelona would make a first bid of around 25 million euro°, a fee that will most probably not be enough to convince Valencia, whose president has declared several times that Silva will not leave the club this summer (read more here).

no 1 priority. everyone could see how good he was for spain with xavi and iniesta, if ronaldinho is going silva only decent replacement
that what i have been waiting to here forweeks now GET SILVA
maxi
Delightful. Another expensive midget with great ball skills. Perhaps the idea is to run between the legs of the bigger Premiership defenders in the Champions League group stages and finals.
It worked so well last year, didn't it?
Silva's price is going to be crazy. He is also going to want first-team football right now, and at his price, we'll want him to get right in, rather than having the world's most expensive sub.
So who sits? In a midfield of Keita, Xavi and Yaya? We didn't sign Keita to sit him and frankly, we need what he does more than we need what Silva does.
What about Hleb, Hernanes and/or Arshavin? Figure the latter two to be subs if they're signed, and their signing would also make Hleb go away.
But if we assume a starting XI of: Valdes, Abidal, Puyol, Caceres, Alves, then a midfield of Yaya, Keita, Xavi, then attackers Henry, Messi, and that still unnamed center forward, then where does Silva fit. Sit Xavi? Sit Keita?
Dunno, but I just don't see the point of this one. If we didn't have Iniesta and Xavi, perhaps. Hernanes and Arshavin make sense because they aren't going to, and aren't intended to be first-teamers.
Silva is not necessary. I'd rather have Arshavin as he can score goals. We already have mids who are better than Silva. And plus Barca likes to play with a righty on the Left wing so he can cut to the righ. Just like Messi is on the right wing and cuts to the left. We don't need a lefty who just goes down the flanks and puts in balls for who? to head. If he cuts inside what is he gonna do? shoot with the outside of his foot? Pointless signing. Silva replacing Dinho? Crazy.
This would be a GREAT signing. !st of all, who said Toure was first team amterial? As i remember he fucked up A LOT of plays last season when Barca was moving forward with his horrible passing skills. Xavi and Iniesta know how to deliver through passes and so does Silva. We need better dribbling and passing skills in the midfield the way spain did in the Euro 2008. Keita is ok, i say Xavi Iniesta and Silva would dominate as our 1st team mids. Toure was horrible in almost every game last season, he just does not fit in with this club and i dont know why he was brought in. All he did was fuck up our offense which was already struggling. Lose Toure, sign Silva and we got ourselves the best mid in La Liga.
Toure fucked up alot? His passing is extrodinary, he was one of the most consistent players for Barca. Are you crazy man? Toure is amazing best DM in La liga. Go home man.
Jnice. I agree with you. Toure was one of the best last year despite his back problem that he had alomst the hole season. A real Fighter!
