Barça B: Offer for Chico rejected

Cádiz local newspaper Diario de Cádiz claims that third division team Cádiz has rejected an offer from Barcelona for Cádiz central defender José Manuel "Chico" Flores (21), who played on loan with Barcelona B during the first half of this year.

Barcelona, that wanted Chico to take part in the pre-season of the first team (read more here), proposed a renewed loan deal but was only willing to pay 50 000 euro° in case Chico would make his debut with the first team and an extra amount of money depending on a determined number of appearances.

Cádiz local newspaper La Voz de Cádiz claims that Cádiz has nevertheless decided, after meeting with Chico's agent Alvaro Torres last Friday, that they will respect the wish of the player to leave and that the club will listen to offers.

Almería local news site El Almería claims that Chico is close to joining first division team Almería, that would be leading the race for the central defender ahead of Barcelona B, Sevilla B and Sporting Gijón.

Asked about the rumours linking Chico with his club, Almería sports director Alberto Benito confirmed in an interview with Cádiz local newspaper Diario de Cádiz that they are looking at the option: "We were interested to know more about his situation so we have made some contacts. The player still has a contract with Cádiz, which won't make a transfer easy. At this moment he's not a priority."
