Martino Shows Intentions


Barcelona boss has shown his intentions in terms of the transfer market by showing interest in a number of young stars. Carlos Fierro currently at Chivas, at 17 years old the striker is showing huge promise, Barcelona scouts have been watching the player and a fee of £3.8m may be used to prise the player away from Chivas to the Nou Camp. 20 year old Arsenal starlet Jack Wilshere has also been linked with the club with a price tag of £30m. Martino is also looking for a young replacement for goalkeeper Victor Valdes, in 20 year old Marc Andre Ter Stegen who plays at Gladbach and a fee of £23m will bring the young shot stopper to Barcelona. Alen Halilovic the 16 year old from Dinamo Zagreb could be prized away for £1.2m and 17 year old Bruma from Sporting Lisbon could be captured for £4.6m. Also, Moritz Leitner the central midfielder from Dortmund, at 19 years old can be bought for £14m. Martino is keen to point out that no bids have been made and this is all speculation as Barcelona always scout the best young players in the world.

Martino - Fabregas not for sale


Martino has told press that midfielder Cesc Fabregas is not for sale for anything under £60m. 26 year old former Arsenal captain Fabregas has been under bids from Manchester United's David Moyes, including a £35million bid. Martino said, "Cesc is a very important player in our system, our family at Barcelona and will not be sold. Fabregas is key in our next generation of midfielders as players now such as Iniesta are no getting any younger and Fabregas will be key to step into his role and keep the team at such a high level. Even if we did receive a extraordinary bid such as £60m, Cesc is a huge Barcelona fan and would like to stay here for the rest of his life, even with the exception of his love for Arsenal as a player, Cesc loves Barcelona and Spain and wants to stay."

Messi - Martino Deal Nothing To Do With Me


Lionel Messi has insisted that the hiring of Gerardo Martino as head coach was nothing to do with him or his father. Suggestions in the media recently have noticed the relationship with the Messi's and Martino is the reason he was employed at Barcelona as it would keep the Ballon D'or winner at the club. However, Messi rejects the notation and says he only found out about Martino being employed a day before he did in a team meeting. Messi also insists that his father hasn't had contact with the new boss in the last 6 month. Lionel has on the other hand said of his delight that Martino has been put in charge and thinks he will help Barcelona regain the Champions League. Messi also told the media that he is looking forward to playing with new signing Neymar and he is a very special player who has the potential to become the world's best.

Hope this lasts, good luck :)
