The Toulouse youngster has been under the radar of the La Liga giants for a while and now, the Catalan club is readying a bid for the versatile midfielder
Considered as one of the greatest hopes of French football, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toulouse-FC-c40751 star Etienne Capoue has patiently waited for the right time to leave the Pink City. Eversince he made his debut a few years back, the 23-year-old has proven to be one of the best players
in his position.
After five season in Ligue 1 with Les Pitchouns, the time is perhaps right for Capoue to pack his bags and go to a new club in order to take his career to the next level. Recently, Atletico Madrid made a few enquiries about the Frenchman and France Football
claims that German Bundesliga giants Schalke have already made signing the midfielder their top priority for the summer transfer window.
Toulouse have placed a 10 million Euros price on the player which is seemingly affordable for most of the clubs.
However, it now appears that La Liga giants, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 have entered the race for the signature of the talented player. reports claim that the Blaugrana would be willing to give 12 million Euros for the services of the youngster.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 have reportedly placed a 11.7 million Euros bid for the player which clearly means that a bidding war might be witnessed this summer.
With players like Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets, Barcelona’s midfield is already packed so it remains to be seen whether its logical to sign another player for the same position. For now, Barcelona have not made any official statement regarding their interest
in the Frenchman but the summer transfer window may change all that.
However, at the age of 23, Capoue should be looking for a club where he gets regular playing time which he might not get if he chooses to sign for the Catalans.
The former Angers academy player has made over 112 appearances for Alain Casanova’s men and has represented France at Under-18, 19 and 21 levels which means that a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 call-up might be on the horizon.
