http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111 looking forward to returning to the Nou Camp
The 22-year old full back has set his sights on making a return to his boyhood club http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 are trying to contain him and want the youngster to sign a new contract but it has been reported that he has put the contract talks on hold.
Barcelona desperately need good players in defence. The Spanish Champions have been suffering with a lot of injury crises, especially in the defence.
Josep Guardiola was criticized during the summer transfer window as the Catalan coach did not sign a single defender and opted for a midfielder and a winger. Cesc Fabregas and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 were signed during the summer transfer window but most of the experts
thought that the Catalans required a good defender in order to strengthen their line-up.
However, Josep Guardiola thought otherwise and he brought back Cesc Fabregas to his boyhood club and also signed Udinese’s last season’s sensation, Alexis Sanchez.
Both these players have helped the team in their way but with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique and Eric Abidal being injured one after the other, it is now becoming quite hard for the Spanish Champions to defend.
Eric Abidal’s contract is going to expire at the end of this season and Jordi Alba looks to be the perfect replacement for the Frenchman. Guardiola is definitely going to try and sign a few young players as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048 cannot play
in the centre back role as the Catalans face a tough opposition.
Moreover, Josep Guardiola is famous for bringing back former Barcelona players back at the Nou Camp. In his first season, the Catalan boss signed Gerard Pique from Manchester United. Later, the Guardiola also bought Cesc Fabregas. Both the players have managed
to make a place for themselves in the first team. Therefore, Guardiola is now going to try and sign back Jordi Alba who left Barcelona back in 2005.
It has been reported that the Catalan Giants have been monitoring Alba’s situation at the Mestalla. Alba’s signing is definitely going to aid the Catalans as their defensive problems will be solved and he is not going to cost them a lot since he is not signing
a new contract for Valencia.
