Valdes is next renewal target

Catalan sports paper Sport claims that, with the renewals of Xavi and Busquets agreed upon last week, Barcelona will now first try to close the renewal of Barcelona goalkeeper Víctor Valdés (26).

The first talks with Valdés' father and agent were positive. Valdés, whose current contract that includes a buyout clause of 100 million euro° expires in the summer of 2010, and Barcelona would already have agreed to extend the contract until 2014.

Despite that, a final deal still seems a long way of because of the financial issue. Barcelona agrees that Valdés deserves a better contract but doesn't want to go as far as asked by the player. Although the differences are big at this moment, the positions of the two parties wouldn't be irreconcilable.

Madrid sports tabloid As claims that the negotiations look to become complicated (read more here), despite both parties having the clear will to come to an agreement.

we really should renew his contract
first: there is no better keeper available
second:he's on top form
third:he's home grown
look at the number of matches he won us this season : madrid - bilbao
im not gonna lie and say i didn't want to get rid of him but he proved me and many others wrong
and the thing about him being greedy i think it just marca trying to hurt us in any way they can.

renewals always take time. its no big secret. he will resign and thats a good thing. for me hes always been the keeper for Barça despite other yelling out Cech or van der Sar. Lets not forget Valdes was key when we became Champions of Europe in May of 06. Sure hes made mistakes but thats part of the game, all in all hes a damn good keeper and deserves a spot on the national team.
