The technical secretary has been put down to work to ensure the continuity of the player, whose clause is 30 million euros.

The Barça has already begun to move to extend the contract of one of the young jewels of the quarry as Giovani dos Santos. The technical secretary, Txiki Begiristain, has held some discussions with the representative of the footballer, Pini Zahivi to ensure the renewal and dispel doubts about its continuity arising out of the interest shown by some English clubs such as Chelsea or Manchester United, for its incorporation.

Giovani signed with FC Barcelona until June 2009, with a termination clause of 30 million euros. This contract comes from his period as sub18 and needs an update. The club was waiting to see developments in the first team to submit a proposal for renewal and the technical unit already has agreed to continue to count on the Mexican for many years. Giovani, only 18 years old, aims as a good complement of Leo Messi in the band right and their presence helps reinforce the game for the bands. Technicians have high expectations in its progression and believes it can be a very interesting value for the future. In the market there is not much less a large number of extreme quality and Giovani Dos Santos could meet this profile.

Another factor that greatly appreciates is coming from the quarry and has always shown great involvement with the club. Giovani and Bojan is the best example of the good work that is being conducted in football and the best way to increase it is giving opportunities to young people that aim higher.

The intent of the technical secretariat is to reach an agreement before the end of the season. There is an excessive haste to close the renewal, but it wants to carry out before the month of June when the market can re-shaken.

For now, Pini Zahivi denied in statements made to RAC-1 it had negotiated with Chelsea, one of the clubs that follow more closely during the Christmas holidays, which fell in London. Zahivi is a personal friend of the owner of the blues, Roman Abramovich, and suggested that this good relationship could facilitate the arrival of Giovani the entity from Stamford Bridge. Instead, the Israeli representative who confirmed that it had initiated contacts with Txiki Begiristain and that in the next few weeks to continue the talks outlining the new contract.

Although the price of Mexican forward goes upward and his name rings with the force in England, the agreement seems inevitable as the great football player is the desire to succeed blaugrana shirt and the club is confident that the young footballer has a great future ahead.
