The Dutch attacking midfielder’s future at the Camp Nou has come under dark clouds after being sidelined for the better part of 2011/12 Spanish top flight season.
Injuries and intense competition has seen http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ibrahim-Afellay-c16547’s stock devalue in La Blaugrana dressing room. With Tito Vilanova replacing Pep Guardiola on the manager’s hot seat, the Dutch midfielder has been linked with a move away from Catalonia.
Agent of the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 captain, Rob Jansen, took out time to reflect on the future of his client. Jansen ruled out chances of a permanent transfer but hinted at a possible loan being on the cards.
"Afellay could be loaned out for a year," said Rob Jansen was quoted by several Italian news sources.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and Fiorentina, a fact which he admitted to when quizzed on the subject: "Yes, there is that possibility."
Afellay is well aware that he has little role in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 starting eleven and is prepared to leave for pastures greener for more first team minutes.
He has been given very less minutes to show his worth in La Blaugrana’s pre-season friendly fixtures, with La Masia academy graduates getting the nod ahead of him.
With the aforementioned Italian outfits being strapped for cash and with plenty of problems in midfield, Afellay is the perfect replacement. The Milanese clubs have severe problems in midfield with the departure of first team regulars, while the remaining duo have seen their best players being transferred abroad.
Afellay has interest from French Ligue 1 title contenders, Lille, and English Premier League titans, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429.
 The Gunners invested 19 million Euros to acquire the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-Cazorla-c32505 from Malaga and are analyzing their transfer spending spree at the moment.
The situation leaves Afellay in a quandary as refused to talk with the French outfit previously, stating that it would be a step in the wrong direction to join them. However, with dwindling options and time running out, the Dutchman does not have a lot of remaining options on his hands.
