The club captain will soon hold contract talks with Andoni Zubizarreta and is already excited about his playing career at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Barcelona are in dire need of centre-backs during the upcoming season and Carles Puyol is definitely one of them.
Last season La Blaugrana suffered in defence because they lost Eric Abidal because of a liver tumour and kept on losing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique to small injuries off and on.
When Josep Guardiola left the Nou Camp and the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 was given to Tito Vilanova, the new manager told the management that he wants to sign at least two defensive players.
While Barcelona have already lured in the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331.
The club captain is struggling to find back his old form and with his age, the injuries have grown and he can definitely not play out a whole season without getting injured at least once.
Therefore, La Blaugrana need a new defender and they are still in the transfer market, trying to sign at least one centre-back this summer.
Last season, Carles Puyol helped the Spanish giants win a lot of games and was phenomenal in the defence. Alongside Mascherano, Puyol was able to form a deadly defensive partnership.
Moreover, the Catalan defender also showed the world that he can slot into any defensive position, as he played a few games as a left-back.
Since Barcelona recently renewed the contract of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071, Carles Puyol will soon be talking to Andoni Zubizarreta about his new contract and he recently admitted that he is already excited about his playing career at Barcelona.
While speaking about the contract talks with Andoni Zubizarreta and his career at Barcelona, Carles Puyol said:
"I spoke to him the other day and the issue won't be very complicated.”
"I am excited about continuing my playing career and if the club wants me I'll stay here."
Puyol picked up a knee injury right at the end of the last season. The Spanish defender missed his chance to represent Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 in the Euro 2012.
However, he is currently training with the first team and is expected to return for the pre-season friendly game against Manchester United.
