Barça B: Difficult talks with Zaragoza on Goni

Asked about the rumours linking him with a move to Barcelona B (read more here), Zaragoza B central defender Raúl Goni (19) has confirmed in an interview with Aragón regional sports paper Equipo that the clubs are holding talks:

"It looks like the clubs are talking. They told me something about it although I don't know much. For sure, there's nothing concrete yet and I certainly didn't yet recieve a formal offer."

The player would be delighted to move to Barcelona this summer: "Although I was born and raised in Zaragoza and the club means a lot to me, the interest is an honour because Barcelona is a big club. It would be a positive thing for my career to move from the fourth division to the third division, certainly with the senior team playing in the Primera División. But let's see what happen, I'm relaxed about the whole story."

The paper claims that the negotiations seem to be difficult and that a deal probably won't be found this week, which would mean that Goni, whose contract with Zaragoza expires in 2010, would start the pre-season next week with Zaragoza B. It is expected that more clubs will push for the player who made his debut with the first team of Zaragoza last season.
