The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues for the next campaign, after an unsuccessful tenure with the Spanish giants last term.
Bundesliga giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ibrahim-Afellay-c16547 on a season-long loan deal. The Dutch attacker failed to make an impact at the Blaugrana outfit and netted only two goals in over
30 appearances, after they signed him from the 21 time Dutch League winners, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven.
The talented winger is considering Schalke because he is not in Barca’s future plans and they want him to ply his trade elsewhere for a year, so that he can come back a better and a more mature player. He has been suggested to
the German club for the new season and The Miners are interested in the young prodigy.
Afellay’s representative conceded earlier in the summers that the Barca star was going to stay in the team setup and the La Liga coach had faith in him. The midfielder has also played in a central role for the Spanish Cup champions
and has endured an injury-hit season last term.
"Afellay is not going anywhere,” the player’s agent was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the agent now stated that the footballer is ready to depart his current team in order to get more minutes on the pitch, which would help him develop and become a top player. Another reason is the tough competition
he faces from the recovered http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 on the wings.
“The winger could be set to exit Barcelona for more playing time,” Rob Jansen finally concluded.
Both the teams are negotiating the terms of the loan deal so that he can spend the new season in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175.
The youngster only played 20 league games last season and performed below par as he scored only a single goal. It is understood that the 26-year-old is not among the new coach Tito Vilanova’s team plans. Therefore, a switch to
Schalke is very desirable for him.
