The Paraguayan has been relegated to a bench role with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 in prime form. Manchester City have now come up to rescue the striker.
It has been a tough season for Borussia Dortmund’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-Barrios-c22533. From being the hero who delivered the Bundesliga title last term, he has now been cemented to the bench at Westfalenstadion.
Barrios joined the Borussians’ ranks in the summer of 2009 and quickly established himself as a first team regular. Nineteen league goals in his first season with the club was a good achievement, but it was the second campaign where he truly came of age.
Sixteen goals in thirty-two appearances made sure Jurgen Klopp’s men secured the German title after years of agonizing wait.
His form, however, took a tumble after that. Coupled with Lewandowski’s brilliant form, Barrios’ first team chances took a heavy dent. In nine league appearances until now – mostly late cameos – the attacker has failed to score even once.
The Citizens have been linked with any player of value since the cash-rich Sheikh Mansour took over, and in Barrios they have found another player to make sure they stay in the headlines.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937 and Edin Dzeko. But a significantly
improved pay cheque might change his mind.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 are also showing interest, if reports are to be taken seriously, and a tug-of-war might ensue. With January transfer window fast drawing to a close, either party will have to act swiftly.
