Barcelona are in desperate need of a new central defender for the new season as they only have 2 established centre backs. There is no denying that Pique and Puyol are both talented players but while Carles Puyol struggles to stay fit they rely heavily on Javier Mascherano to fill the void.
In the past few weeks, the Cesc Fabregas saga has reached new heights. David Moyes has openly stated that Manchester United have had bids which are believed to be around £26 million and £31 million rejected. Moyes isn’t finished there either, he appears to be surprisingly optimistic as he has said “when you are interested in good players you want to give it every opportunity to materialise. “I’ll hope that things can continue to move forward.” I was at how optimistic he was despite the countless bold statements from the Barcelona camp and the recently appointed Barcelona manager Gerardo Martino saying ‘‘Man United want Cesc? If the club rejected two offers, I will reject it a third time. Cesc will be here.”
