The Basque midfielder is due a share of the transfer monies to prize him away from the San Mames, with La Blaugrana wanting him to waive of the right.
Tito Vilanova has been given a war chest of 40 million Euros to improve Barcelona’s squad. The former Barcelona B team assistant coach has already spent 14 million Euros to bring http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111 back to the Camp Nou and is struggling to add high quality players
with the remaining 26 million Euros.
With Javi Martinez topping his shopping list, the staggering amount Vilanova still has at his disposal is short by a big magnitude. The Basque midfielder will command 47.2 million Euros including VAT to bring him to Catalonia.
As a result http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Keita-c33177 departing, they have excess wage budged.
The situation can be improved with the sale of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468’s acquisition.
The sale of aforementioned duo can take time, leaving the Catalan club asking to waive off his rights on the monies that he will gain on his mega million transfer. It will be a similar activity that saw Barcelona save 9 million Euros as the added Cesc Fabregas
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071 to their dressing room.
However, with interest high for his services from Manchester City and Bayern Munich, Martinez does not want to negotiate with La Blaugrana and has asked for reaching an agreement with Athletic Bilbao before he settles on personal terms.
As a result, Barcelona are left with the option of selling Afellay and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adriano-c3773, and then making a bid for Martinez, or promoting youth academy graduates to the first team to fulfil the void left by Seydou Keita.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 have been tipped to make the grade for the first team in the coming season, and gauging from their performances for the reserve team, they are more than capable in complimenting the first team.
With the start of preseason training around the corner, Tito Vilanova needs to take a decision sooner rather than later.
