Premier League star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 to Barcelona?
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are currently looking for a left back and it looks as if the Tottenham Hotspur star, Gareth Bale, is on the Catalan radar.
The Spanish Champions are struggling to find a left full back as Eric Abidal is not signing a new contract for them. The Frenchman had an extraordinary last season with Barcelona as he helped them win La Liga and the UEFA Champions League. However, a tumour
sidelined him from the first team.
After coming back from his injury, Eric Abidal played the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester United and helped the Catalan Giants win the European title.
Despite seeing so much success, the Frenchman does not look keen on signing a new contract. Moreover, Josep Guardiola has signed a midfielder and an attacker in the summer transfer window. Therefore, the Spanish Champions are now falling short of options
at the back.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331 is still not perfectly fit to perform for a full game. Eric Abidal also picked up an injury during the season.
Even though the Catalan Giants are not conceding a lot of goals, they are still three points behind Real Madrid and the basic reason is their weak defensive line-up.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048 are holding midfielders and not first choice defenders and Barcelona struggle a lot at the back. Therefore, Josep Guardiola will be looking forward to buy a left full back so he can play Eric Abidal in the centre back
position.
Currently, the only two replacements available for Eric Abidal in the left back position are Adriano and Maxwell. The Brazilian duo is not good enough to replace the Frenchman in difficult fixtures.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adriano-c3773 is simply too attacking compared to Eric Abidal. The Spanish Champions require a left back who is brilliant defensively.
Recently, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111 was also reported to be under Barcelona’s radar. Now, the Premier League star Gareth Bale is also under the notable eyes of the Barcelona scouts.
Even though Bale is currently playing as a left winger for Tottenham Hotspur, he used to play as a left back once and he will definitely help Barcelona solve their defensive crises.
