Rosell (president):

"Milan will start paying the first part of Ibrahimovic's transfer. No doubt they will, otherwise they can't take part in CL."

"Abidal has the renewal offer on the table. I don't know why he didn't sign yet, we'll see when the team returns from holiday"

"Mascherano is the example. He paid part of his transfer with his salary, I never saw that before."

"If we make an offer and Arsenal don't accept it, Cesc won't come this year. Guardiola understands that."

"I'm sure Cesc wants to return. He is doing what he can to make it happen, for as much as his position allows it"

"We won't go over our financial limits to sign Alexis Sanchez. There's no deal yet. We're also holding talks on other players" [canal33]

Thank god Rosell seems to be the only person at Barca that has common sense regarding Cesc.

Rossell sounds like a guy taking a girl out on a date with no money lol

Jeffren's father and agent Efren Suarez met yesterday afternoon with vice-president Bartomeu and sports director Zubizarreta.Barcelona have informed Jeffren's father about the offers the club received for the player from 3 clubs: Villarreal, Udinese and Roma [cadena cope]

Barcelona could prepare an offer for Arsenal midfielder Cesc (24) of 30M plus a high number of easy to obtain variables. [sport]

Milan player Thiago Silva (26) and PSG player Mamadou Sakho (21) are Barcelona's 2 options in case they'll sign a centre-back. [as]

Barcelona Cadete A centre-back Pol Garcia (16) has signed for Italian club Juventus

Roma sports director Walter Sabatini will today or tomorrow be in Barcelona to hold talks on a possible transfer of Bojan Krkic [sport - md]

Besides Bojan, Roma are also interested in Barcelona B right back Martin Montoya (20) and midfielder Thiago Alcantara (20). [sport]

You know my position on Silva... he's going nowhere. But Sakho? I doubt anyone will be able to sign him now. PSG has some very big investors from Qatar I believe...

Cesc Fabregas is considering to not show up for Arsenal's first training if coach Wenger doesn't keep his promise of letting him go. [md]

Udinese will be invited for the Joan Gamper trophy and get the profits of the game as part of the deal on Alexis Sanchez. [sportmediaset]

Barcelona and Hercules have a total deal on wing player Kiko Femenia (20) for 2M+variables and are now dealing with the paper work. Kiko Femenia (20) will sign a three-year contract at Barcelona, with an option for a 4th year depending on number of games played. [md]

Barcelona are interested in Chelsea centre-back David Luiz (24). President Rosell met last week in Brazil with his agent Bertolucci. [sport]

Jeffren thrown in for Sanchez, and hes worth in the deal 12 million! Jefferen 12 million? Great work on Rossell's end getting that much for Jefferen

And dude, we arent gonna get Luiz, especially with Villa-Boas now at Chelsea

Valencia player Juan Mata (23) could be the alternative option in case the transfer of Alexis Sanchez can't be finalized. Valencia would be willing to accept an offer of around 15M-plus-Jeffren for wing player Juan Mata (23).[la sexta]

LOL! i thought Jeffren was better than Mata today:)
i don't like such deal!

Sports vice-president Bartomeu last Thursday travelled to London to meet with Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis. Bartomeu and Gazidis discussed a 35M bid for Cesc Fabregas. The bid was not yet accepted, but Arsenal is now further analyzing it. [sport]

Mata is not a bad choice. He will cost much less and Jeffren will almost surely accept being used for exchange while he is reluctant to move to Udinese. Mata won't have the same kind of pace and even skill as A.Sanchez. So we will lose something. He will still give us versatility though because he can play as second striker and on the wings. Who would you choose out of Mata and G.Rossi? I guess G.Rossi is the better finisher but Mata can play in different positions better and may move even better on and off the ball.

Agree about Jeffren. He was probably the reason why Spain U-21 won the match after almost losing it. It made me feel very proud that he is our player and also sad that we are about to give him away. He probably raised his price with his performance last night. Jeffren certainly seems talented but raw. Is it a good idea to give him away? It's hard to say because he can be used as an impact player and could become really good in future. Then again we can't pay fully in cash all the time in expensive deals.

To our chagrin this now seems very close to completion.

What is the Barca fan's take on David Luiz rumours? Of Course we won't sell him but would you take him?

Unfortunately the rumors are false, but imo he would be the perfect CB replacement for Puyol hands down....we were just to late i suppose.

Should of got Luiz a long time ago, but as always we waste time and not sign what we might need.

Mata iz NT player, he can play on wings, as false 9, and on Iniesta's position. He is for sure better than Jeffren.
I would rather pay 15+Jeff for sub player, than 40 + Jeff for sub player.

If this is true buy him.

Good post chollaville, I hope we won't get bullied by Pozzo and don't overpay for Sanchez.

I think that is why we are jumping at the chance to sign Lukaku.

agree in 2012-2013.. would be 2 great signing for first team

Guardiola rejected a few months ago the offer of president Rosell to sign Santos attacker Neymar (19) because of the player's character [md]

--------------------------------------

Barcelona and Udinese officials will this week meet again trying to bring their positions closer and close a deal on Alexis Sanchez.
The main problem regarding Alexis Sanchez is the way of paying: Udinese want less variables and more money immediately. [sport marca]
