Newcastle’s French midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yohan-Cabaye-c37423 is the subject of transfer speculation that links him with a move to Barcelona.
As of now, there are no official comments or statements from either club, but this new development is sure to gather increasing interest.
Barcelona are eyeing Yohan Cabaye, in what looks to be a shocking development in this season’s transfer window. The Spanish giants are reportedly weighing up an £8 million bid for the French midfielder, who impressed in his performances for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 during
the Euro 2012 Championship last month.
The Spanish club are said to be considering a move for either Cabaye or his French teammate Yann M’Vila. M’Vila has long been linked with a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, who had been chasing the French defensive midfielder for quite some time.
M’Vila had expressed an interest in joining the Gunners last month, but a move failed to materialize due to the player’s conduct with coach Laurent Blanc following France’s Euro exit.
Cabaye, 26, is said to be http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604’s main target. The French midfielder joined the Toon last year for £4.3 million on a five-year contract from Lille.
The French international has risen to prominence since he joined the Magpies. He operates as a box-to-box midfielder and is known for his excellent vision, sublime ball control and proven technical ability. He had a flying start to his Newcastle career and
got called up by the French national team for the 2012 Euro Championship. He scored one goal for Les Bleus and featured in all their games.
Cabaye has established himself as an important part of Newcastle’s squad and was instrumental in their success last season, which surprised many and defied expectations. Newcastle looked likely to finish fourth, but ended up fifth, falling short of a Champions
League spot by just one point.
Newcastle played some of the best football in the Premier League last season and will look to build on their success and form, as they try to finish higher in the league table. Toon boss http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew will be reluctant to part ways with his star midfielder,
despite feeling unsettled by the sudden interest expressed by Barcelona.
As of now, this is still a rumour, since Barcelona already have a star-studded midfield that boasts the likes of Xavi Hernandez, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048, Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas.
