Barcelona prepares final offer for Villa

Barcelona sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona is preparing a new offer for Valencia forward and Spanish international David Villa (27).

Barcelona is expected to make their final bid next week: 40 million euro° plus Palmeiras forward Keirrison (20) on loan plus Barcelona players Martín Cáceres (21) on loan or permanently, in that last case with a buy-back option.

Catalan sports paper
El Mundo Deportivo claims that Barcelona has been negotiating on the contract of Villa. The player and the club would already have found a deal on the duration of the contract. If Villa would join Barcelona, he will sign for four years.

Madrid sports tabloid As claims that the race for the transfer of Mallorca forward and Spanish international Dani Güiza (27) could be reopened because Turkish club Fenerbahçe, which has a pre-agreement with the player (read more here), has problems finding the funds to pay the 15 million euro° buyout fee.


Mallorca president Vicenç Grande has in the last days been receiving phone calls from several clubs that are willing to pay the fee immediately. Barcelona is said to be among the candidates.

Despite closing an earlier deal with Fenerbahçe, Nuria Bermúdez, the wife and one of the agents of Güiza, would now be again looking at the offers that the Spanish striker received from other clubs.

Henrique could be included in Bruno Alves deal

Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona could soon move for Porto central defender and Portuguese international Bruno Alves (27).

The technical staff would like Bruno Alves a lot and the scouting reports are reportedly very positive.

If Barcelona would make a formal bid for the Portuguese centre-back, the club would offer Bayer Leverkusen central defender and Barcelona loan out Henrique (22) in the deal. Porto would like the Brazilian, who has a contract with Barcelona until 2013, since they also were interested to sign him last year.

Laporta comments on the transfer market

Barcelona president Joan Laporta commented on the transfer events in an interview with Catalan radio station iCatfm.



Eto'o
*I think that Eto'o would like to stay and I would like that too.* But he has an out-of-this-world offer from Manchester City which would make him the best paid player in the world. He starts to understand that it's a crazy offer. He wants to stay but it's very difficult to reject an offer like that.

Villa
It's Txiki who has to decide if Villa would replace him. If Eto'o leaves we'll have to sign a new striker, although I also think they could perfectly play together*, certainly because it will be a long season*.

Keirrison
We're on the verge of finalizing the transfer. Could he be part of the Villa deal? He'll do the pre-season with us and then it's Pep Guardiola who decides which players will stay.

Mascherano
He's a close friend of Messi, we'll see what happens. It's a player I like a lot and I don't think it's a problem that we already have similar players like Touré and Keita, who are also going to take part in the Africa Cup.

Ribéry
He knows that we like him a lot but Bayern doesn't want to sell. Madrid is also interested, like we are, but we have great respect for Bayern and if they don't sell, we accept that. They know that we like him so if they change their minds, they know we want to talk *although we won't take part in a bid race*.

Filipe
If Deportivo president Lendoiro talks about 20 million euro, that price is out of the market. No discussion there. Txiki made a very wise and decent offer *so if Lendoiro doesn't change his position, we won't do any further efforts*.

Bojan
He won't leave on loan.

Valdés
His renewal is not yet signed but everything is going well.
