It is believed that Arsenal’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804 is on the brink of completing his move to Barcelona, after the Catalan club held talks with the Gunners over the possibility of a move taking place.
The Spanish side started to show an interest in the player a couple of weeks ago and they are now determined to secure his capture before the end of the European transfer window.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are believed to have made a bid of around fifteen million for his services.
The two teams are expected to haggle it out, as they look to agree on common grounds over a potential transfer.
Song had initially move to Arsenal as part of a loan deal, but later on went on to make his move to the team a permanent one.
When Arsenal took on Koln in a pre season friendly, Song admitted that he was flattered by the interest that the Spanish club showed in him, but also admitted that he would much rather stay at Arsenal.
"I am not going to lie if I said there is no interest but I am at Arsenal and I am happy at Arsenal," he said in a post match interview.
"Barcelona are the best team in the world, and speculation will always continue until the window closes."
Should Arsenal eventually let Song leave, they won’t let it be for a fee less than around nineteen million pounds.
The team is known to make profits off of player sales and the case will be no different for Song.
However, once the midfielder does leave the team, the Gunners will need to bring in someone to replace him.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 is expected to join the team on a one year role and he can easily play in the position that Song used to play in for the club.
Despite that fact, the club will look to make bids for another player or two and this could increase the likely hood of Yann M’Vila making his long awaited move to the Emirates.
It is now a wait to see just what is going to happen at Arsenal over the coming days.
