Spanish Press: Barca ‘ready to sell’ Reds Target

|

Spanish newspaper AS believes Barcelona are willing to sell Liverpool target Ibrahim Afellay. The winger only joined the club in January after a €2.2million move from PSV went through with only six months remaining on his contract. AS is reporting that Liverpool are prepared to pay five times what Barca paid for the player, roughly £9million for the 24 year old, and the Catalan club are interested in cashing in on the player. The paper states that the final decision will be coach Pep Guardiola’s but as the winger has yet to start a league game, there is a possibility Barca will look to make it a tidy profit on the player after just six months.

    No more than 3 Million. He ditched us when he had the assurance of playing in the first team and choosing Barcelona, but he wants out now. Pay what Barcelona paid for him or look for other option and allow him to rot in the bench.

    • steve mcauley says:

      a tad unfair there larsen! who would you rather play for given the choice? pep’s barca or roy hodgson’s liverpool?
      i think he’d be a great buy

      • papa says:

        I think you right there Steve. But Larsen is right on the price. 3 or 4 mill no more. If Barca valued him at 2.2M and he didn’t get to play, we would be a bit silly to pay nine.

  • bl007 says:

    not great at 9 million, even 5 million is pushing it.
    if the player wants out so bad, then he can push for it, else rest easy on the bench.

  • a.finnigan says:

    yeah 9m is over the top ashley young is better and prem proven at 15m with 1 year on contract buy young and smoke barca out, theyll be that desperate they might take poulson in px

  • Mike says:

    He aint leaving. Hes really enjoying himself at Barca. He knows he has been bought for the bench. He wont leave after 6 months. Rediculous rumours.

  • JOHN says:

    roughly 5 times 2.2 is 11 million,get it right

  • 9 million is too much for the lad who has not impress himself to be in barca team,i think 5 million will be ok,or he remains there then we can use the 9 or 10 million to get ASHLEY YOUNG.because YOUNG has premiership experience.

  • RegTheVeg says:

    Irrelevant point John, if you’d paid more attention you’d realise he cost 2.2million EUROS and would cost Liverpool 9 million POUNDS (roughly 5 times as much)

  • rasheed aliu says:

    sell jovanovik and bring this ibrahim afellay will till need ahsrly young in liverpool will need one defender one milfeder to soport general stevin g so will shal not walk alone nest season

  • Beast says:

    Forget what Barca paid for him, in the ‘post C . Ronaldo’ world of football transfers, Afellay is worth every penny of £9 mill

    • Beast says:

      And would make Ashley Young look like a first round reject from Wayne Rooney’s ‘Street Striker’.
