The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 youth academy player is close to signing an improved contract after impressing in Los Periquitos colours during the course of 2011/12 season.
Espanyol wants to hold down Joan Verdu on a long term deal and want to complete the operation before the start of the season. Representatives of the club are in negotiations with the player’s agents and are reportedly close to reaching their goal.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mauricio-c24899 Pochettino holds the creative central midfielder in high regard and relayed his suggestions regarding the future of the 29-year-old to Espanyol’s hierarchy at the end of the 2011/12 season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Condal wants to give Los Periquitos fans positive news before the start of the preseason and has put the contract extension of their vice-captain on the high priority list.
Verdu was in sensational form for the Catalan club in the recently concluded Spanish top flight domestic football season, grabbing goals and providing numerous assists to lead Espanyol’s bid for European competition in the upcoming campaign.
Sentiments of the Estadi Cornella El-Prat based clubs have been welcomed by the versatile midfielder, showing his commitment to the club as he went with his whole family to watch the match of Espanyol B.
It has been reported that the Catalan has had an offer from Espanyol on the table for several days, but has not yet given an official response. His agent, Magico Diaz, revealed that they are currently looking closely at some aspects before deciding definitively.
The midfielder has established himself as a key player in Mauricio Pochettino’s team and finds the game plan of the club made around his and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Garcia’s technical abilities.
As the Argentine tactician looks to make Verdu his focal point, a deal in the near future will be the best for both parties interested. The Catalan club wants to avoid getting in competition with rival clubs to cement his stay, while the Spanish midfielder
needs safety after a June 2013 expiring contract.
Last season saw Villarreal noticing Verdu taking a close look at the player but decided against signing him in favour of a much younger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-c18993 De Guzman.
