Osasuna wants Pedro on loan

Navarra regional newspaper Diario de Noticias claims that Osasuna is interested in Barcelona wing attacker Pedro Rodríguez Ledesma (21).

Osasuna would already have contacted Barcelona to ask for Pedro and although Barcelona didn't reject the request, a transfer will depend on what will happen later this summer.

The Spanish first division club would like to sign Pedro on loan and wants to include in the deal a buy option at the end of the season as well as a future buy back option for Barcelona.

Barcelona manager Josep Gardiola would think a loan could be a good option for the further development of Pedro but the decision will only be made if the coach knows what will happen in cases like those of Hleb and Ribéry.

Barcelona prepares offer for Bruno Alves

Portuguese newspaper Diário de Notícias claims that Barcelona are preparing a bid for Porto central defender and Portuguese international Bruno Alves (27).

Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola, who already tried to sign the player last summer (read more here), would like to add an experienced defender to the squad and the club would therefore want to offer Bruno Alves a contract for five years.

The central defender, who has a contract with the Portuguese champions until the summer of 2012, would be aware of the interest of Barcelona and the upcoming offer but although he's positive about it, he hasn't yet directly negociated with any person linked to Barcelona.

If the offer would become concrete, Bruno Alves would want that Barcelona would first reach an agreement with Porto. While the Portuguese club would not be willing to sell the player for less than 20 million euro°, Barcelona would prefer to wait until the end of the season to start negotiating a possible transfer.
