Laurent Koscielny under Barcelona radar – Football news
The French centre-back might be the solution to the defensive problems at the Nou Camp, as Barcelona hit Arsenal once again in order to look for a replacement for their legendary defender, Carles Puyol.
La Blaugrana have been going through a lot of problems in defence and it was clearly seen as they faced the German giants, Bayern Munich, in the semi-final stage of the UEFA Champions League.
Munich were able to win the two legged Champions League semi-final by a 7-0 aggregate score line, which definitely highlights the amount of humiliation faced by a team with a high stature such as the Catalan giants.
Barcelona are always considered to be the favourites whenever they enter any competition, but this time when they were playing against Munich, both the teams were expected to play a competitive game.
However, the German giants, Bayern Munich, were able to outplay La Blaugrana by a mile. The Germans were able to win 7-0 on aggregate and later won the European competition against their rival club, Borussia Dortmund.
All this showcased how Barcelona desperately need a centre-back in the team as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique and Marc Bartra are not enough for the Spanish champions. Therefore, in order to take care of their defensive problems, Barcelona
are willing to buy the Arsenal star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Laurent-Koscielny-c21742.
The French defender has managed to impress several clubs during this season. Arsenal were able to improve themselves defensively as Koscielny led the defensive line of the Premier League club.
Barcelona’s hunt for a defender has taken them to the North London side, Arsenal, a club where they bought Cesc Fabregas from. Both the teams are not too fond of exchanging players in the transfer market and that is the reason why Koscielny might find it
hard to join the Spanish giants.
However, there is one thing that will attract the French defender, and that is the amount of trophies that La Blaugana have to offer as Arsenal have not won a single trophy in almost six years and even this season they do not have a single trophy to show
for.
