Henrique could stay one more year with Bayer

German sports newsagency Sid claims, based upon unconfirmed Spanish sources, that Bayer Leverkusen central defender and Barcelona loan out Henrique (22) will stay one more year at the German club.

That would have been agreed upon during a meeting last weekend between Barcelona sports director Txiki Begiristain and Bayer Leverkusen officials.

German sports weekly paper Kicker claims that Begiristain met with Bayer Leverkusen sports director Rudi Völler and Bayer general manager Michael Reschke on Sunday to discuss the future of Henrique. If Henrique would return to Barcelona, Barcelona defender and Uruguay international Martín Cáceres (21) could join the German club on loan next season (read more

Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Begiristain has told Henrique that the club wants him to start the pre-season with Barcelona next summer. Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola would then later decide if the Brazilian defender will join the team next season or will be loaned out for another year.

Fair enough, at least they will have a look at him in the preseason. Leverkusen can manage with Caceres.

We should loan out Caceres to the Italian league so he can learn some defensive tactics. I think Caceres will be much better than Pique in 2-3 years time. He has a perfect slide tackle already. I haven't had the chance to see Henrique much this season but if we loan him out for one more year, it should be to a really good team thats in need of a defender like AC Milan or Arsenal (If Gallas leaves.) Thats where he will really progress. The back four for next season should be:

Daniel Alves---Puyol---Pique/Marquez---Evra

i watch sometimes henrique playing,
but i think he doesn't have enough quality to play barcelona yet.
caceres would be better.
