FC BARCELONA FOLLOWING YOUNG FRENCH U-21 DIGNE

The Spanish Sports paper "AS" writes up a story today that puts a spotlight on young French U-21 International & Lille player Lucas Digne. The focus isn't just any, it is the watchful eyes of Spanish Football giant FC Barcelona which is said to be following the evolution of the player very closely. The French heir apparent to the position left vacant by Eric Abidal & with time Patrice Evre will have to pass on, the right back position, is destined for Digne. The bonus with the youngster is that he can also play as a left back & as a central defender which gives him an extra that makes his profile so attractive for many Clubs.

Lille, the current Club of Lucas Digne, is considered a "hard nut to crack" for their strong stance on transfers & the money they finally negotiate. Barça knows it won´t be easy & will need to be agile & quick as well. 

The French U - 21 International defender is said to have various European Clubs also watching carefully & may pounce at any moment. The Clubs being named are Real Madrid, Manchester United, PSG & Manchester City, four Clubs with sufficient financial muscle to rival FC Barcelona. Will be interesting, the "kid" is apparently hot with demand.

Stay tuned!

FC BARCELONA 2011 | THE EDEN HAZARD "PLAN B"

This is a good one. Spanish Barcelona based Sports paper "Mundo Deportivo" publish that Belgium & LILLE player EDEN HAZARD is the "Plan B", if the signing of Alexis Sanchez or Villareal player Rossi fail to come to good port for FC BARCELONA. The initial reaction is to think that this is just another "paper selling" gig & flying Football rumour. However, the "Hazard option" has taken an interesting turn especially when news comes in that English Premier League Club MANCHESTER CITY could torpedo the Alexis Sanchez signing operation. 

Hazard

Latest news is that MAN CITY has offered Italian Club UDINESE a shivering 38,5M€ for the Chilean Sanchez, which makes the offer away & above what Barça wishes to pay for due to budget restrictions.

In regard to Villareal ROSSI, his Club is not getting off the 30M€ horse. Again too steep for Barça whos budget is 45M€ for signings & have CESC FABREGAS as their Nº1 priority which is being said to be priced by Arsenal for 40M€ as starting price.

Said all this, French Club Lille aren´t going to let off the hook so easily their "pearl". The price will be around 25-30M€, if that at all.

Stay tuned.

LILILE PLAYER GERVINHO HEADING TO ATLETICO DE MADRID ?

Ivory Coast winger & French Club LILLE player GERVINHO has not as yet signed his renewal contract offer. This has been interpreted, especially by Spanish Sports press, that the player is seriously considering an apparent offer from Spanish Club ATLETICO DE MADRID.

Gervinho for Lille

The speculated price is around 10M€ & Lille would welcome the injection of cash. The player seems to feel that he is ready to make the jump to Spanish Football & has thus expressed desires with Atletico being in the front seat to gain his services. The forward is powerful, can play in various forward positions & even as a Centre Forward if needed. Stay tuned for developments.


Said this, there is another message not explicitly mentioned. What goes in goes out, therefore could that be Forlan, Aguero...or?
