In search of a good left-back, Barcelona are looking forward to making a swap deal involving Cristian Tello and the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 star Jordi Alba.
Despite the fact that Barcelona have lost the Champions League, the Spanish La Liga and their manager this season, there is no doubt that they have shown the world two amazingly talented youngsters this season: Cristian Tello and Isaac Cuenca.
With Cuenca leaving the club being out of question, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-c9491 Tello might be the one to take the bullet for his team, and might have to leave the club so that an able left-back is able to replace the injured Eric Abidal.
The Spanish giants are currently going through a lot of defensive crises, especially with the absence of the French national, Eric Abidal, and with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique not giving out consistent performances.
Therefore, Barcelona are looking forward to signing the Valencia star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111, this season, so their left-back crises can come to an end.
With Alba being a Barcelona youth academy graduate, he is going to be the perfect fit for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and as he will barely take time to adapt to their style of play.
With Josep Guardiola leaving the club, Barcelona are already lining up bids for the summer transfer window, as Tito Vilanova will have to add a few names to his roster in order to challenge Madrid for the title next season.
Currently, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ibrahim-Afellay-c16547 are favourites to leave the Catalan club, but now Cristian Tello has added his name to the players who might be leaving the club at the end of the current season.
The 20-year-old star has given out 13 Spanish La Liga appearances this season and has managed to score 3 goals in the process. Moreover, he has also scored 2 goals in the UEFA Champions League.
Barcelona currently possess a lot of players who can play on the wings, and Tello, despite his brilliant performances this season, seems like surplus to their requirements.
In case Barcelona want to lure Jordi Alba, they will either have to pay a lot of cash, or include Cristian Tello in the deal as Valencia keep the 20-year-old in high regard.
