The Mexican striker is one player with more 'brides', although Barcelona is only willing to let go as ceded

The English Manchester City is negotiating the incorporation of the forthcoming season of the Mexican Giovani Dos Santos, which leads along a long time. Negotiations are on track, although there remains one last obstacle, since the club only agrees to the transfer of striker, while the English club claims that the contract also includes an option to purchase at the end of the season. The friendship between the coach of Manchester City, Swedish Sven Goran Eriksson, and the representative of Giovani, Pina Zahavi, who has helped the name of the Mexican occupy one of the top positions in the list of reinforcements. The English club want Gio forming pair in attack with his compatriot Nery Castillo.

The club, however, is unwilling to discard the Mexican forward, and he took an assignment you need to make further progress, as this season has not had every opportunity he needed given their youth. Therefore, Gio himself is aware that needs minutes and is ready to try their luck in the English Premier League.

The Manchester City still does not rule out either the signing of Brazilian Ronaldinho, which is ready to make a major effort, economically superior to that of Milan, with the advantage that the Blaugrana striker wants to play next season at San Siro defending the Milan shirt.

interest of Inter another club Inter
The Milan, Inter, precisely, is another of the European clubs that have shown interest in taking the services of Mexican forward, as it has publicly admitted its own president, Massimo Moratti. In this case, it will be very difficult for the powerful Italian club have access to Gio as assigned.

The father of the front barcelonista, Zizinho, confirmed the interest of several European teams for his son, especially from Manchester City.

Giovani Dos Santos deck and several bids European teams, so their future could be away from the Camp Nou. Anyway, until the end of season, nothing is definite. This was confirmed by his father, Zizinho, in an interview to the daily newspaper El Universal. And one of the clubs who would be most concerned would be the Manchester City team which plays his compatriot Nery Castillo.

"Yes there is an interest by Manchester City, although we can not say more because the information which is in charge of the issue is the developer, it is we who are watching the negotiation," explained Zizinho, who preferred to let the representative of his son, Pini Zahavi, responsible for the matter.

"There could say whether Giovani is with a new team at the moment. Missing several days and meanwhile only think of Barcelona, until then we can not assure more. "

He added that "we want to finish well and so far we can not say more about their future. We want to move forward. If there is interest, but first has to concentrate with Barcelona. " Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United also asked about him.

The Barça will leave at the end of the marching season reaches whether an offer of 10 million euros

Giovani Dos Santos is forcing too much rope and stretch is running a serious risk that it ends up breaking. The club blaugrana starting to show clear signs of having noted mosqueo attitude pesistente environment Player Mexican tighten the nuts ensuring that have many offers on the table and that if Barça not react in time eventually leave.

This situation, which has been added in recent days the insistence of the player and its surroundings in wanting to undergo surgery to solve their problems in the left foot, thinking more in Mexico than in the Barcelona have been gout rebosado the glass that has the patience of those responsible for Barcelona.

Indeed, we have found that the club has decided to open the doors to any offer that comes interest in the player Aztec. If there are certain threats in the environment of the player, in a few days the club could be collapsed to a multitude of calls from clubs half a world. As it is not expected to occur this juncture, does not rule out Barcelona at the end of the season to seek a way out of Dos Santos. One option would be a transfer. Barcelona looks very favourably with any bid to increase to 10 million euros. Nor was eventually ruled an assignment.

In any case, Giovani is still time to amend their mistakes. The first thing we must do is reassure their environment to stop threatening to walk out one day and another the second and also think more about Barça in Mexico.

The Aztec drag a fracture in the left foot, but the club considered hasty passing through the operating room

The saying a disservice dog fleas are all seems to fit perfectly into Barça. After the serious injury Messi appeared that the Mexican Giovani Dos Santos again have many options to fill the right band for the attack. Well, this possibility is about to dissolve sugar because as a young player without a fracture displacement drag on her left foot that could force him to go through the operating room. It seems that the Mexico has been almost three months-infiltrating injured last January 2 in a Cup match, but medical services are still considering this treatment as the most appropriate. However, the player is pushing for him to operate immediately. In this case the time would drop about six weeks. If in the end it confirms a real pity because it was learned yesterday which has been convened by Hugo Sanchez for the friendly with Mexico-Ghana Marquez.

Another bad news for Rijkaard is declining Deco for the next game, because "it has become apparent that there is still a risk of injury at the interface of the twin sóleo in his right leg," according to read the medical part. Thus, the Portuguese will not be in Almeria, especially considering that four days after the Barcelona faces one of the most important of the season in Valencia, as it plays the pass to the finals of the Champions League. Yesterday was brought not with the group and was working alone at the Camp Nou next to coach physical Josep Anton Pozanco. Anyone who either trained yesterday with the group nor will be in Almeria will be the Ivorian Yaya Toure, who after being infiltrated last Tuesday of his herniated disc, will front a few days rest in order to arrive in the best possible conditions to match returning from the Cup semifinals. Another is the absence confirmed Rafa Marquez, who still train with the group because of a swelling on the right foot bone, which has left nearly a month in dry dock. Another low over to Almeria, but on this occasion it is not due to injury but because of sanctions, is the Italian Gianluca Zambrotta, with the yellow faced the Villarreal saw completed the cycle of the five tarjetas.Para height, Ronnie was not trained yesterday discomfort in the right adductor and Sylvinho withdrew earlier by a small indisposition.

The Mexican forward not go to Barça At their best, but believes that it is following a line which regularly takes him to succeed.

Giovani live in a dichotomy. In Mexico nobody discusses and is one of its most valued international. In Barcelona, however, a section of the fans do not understand your game, and even has been silbado at Camp Nou. The striker, far from agobiarse therefore takes it with philosophy, still believes in itself and, above all, is protected by a technical body that has amply demonstrated that trusts him. Even now that Rijkaard has recovered nearly all its troops and equipment going through a great moment in all competitions.

Is expected to be two points of Madrid at the end of February?

Not. We knew that we were going to recover the distance, but it was not so soon.

Why is this change?

It is important to keep the same line ever. Although the team has not played well some parties, the results have always been with us.

Do you think Madrid is going through the same thing happened to Barça last year?

I think he has touched to be in a difficult situation. When they were nine points may have fallen into a certain relaxation. They came to win 7-1 at Valladolid and you want it or not, that also affects. We have benefited from that oversight and now we are there.

Are laughed with the goal that marked the Getafe at the Bernabeu?

No, do not laugh, but because I held a lot and are going to mark the occasion, and suddenly, it marks the Getafe.

Do you remember having lived some scoring well against?

I do not remember. The Getafe were very ready.

Could this be a symptom of anxiety?

Maybe. They had so much pressure ... If lost or empataban put us near the goal and they celebrated with much joy.

Nevertheless, still leaders. Will they change?

Not. I believe that we are in the perfect situation, in all competitions. The League are two points, the elimination of Champions track and is now playing the Cup. It would be good to start with the right foot.

Can be harmful in three competitions?

It is good because it speaks very well of the template. We are all giving the maximum and is very well balanced. It is very difficult to be there in three competitions at this stage because almost everyone is international and there is a lot of wear.

So this is the best time of the season for Barça?

It is the best time because we are two points and we played well, but I think we have also had other good moments, but you never know. Perhaps the next game as play poorly and win, but there are criticisms. The important, as I say, is to continue on the same line.

Lost troops has been key?

We have recovered important people and equipment is becoming better. Having the entire staff is a good thing because it increases competition in the workouts. Everyone has to make every play. For míster is difficult to choose and very good to know that everyone is keen to play.

So important is again with Etoo, Ronaldinho or a better Messi reactivated?

Yes, in the end are the players that make the difference, desequilibrantes. But the truth is that who is not important in this team?

Ya, but they are well done you to play less.

That already knew from the beginning of the season. I did not expect to have the minutes that I am taking. We knew that there were many players. But it is my first year and I am very happy to be on a team like this. Every day I grow more and I hope that we continue to give opportunities and win some title.

What is missing from his football?

Many things. And I will be lacking until it reaches my end as a player. The goal may be one of them, I am not very lucky this season. I learn a lot.

It held that silbaran Are you?

The Barça is well and the public is demanding. They are partners and we must respect their views. But I have been given a stamp pacifier that I do not think I deserve it. I am a striker. When you leave the things we need to know to learn from this situation.

If what came from the outside, would consider fair?

The truth is that it is difficult to recover a situation like this and not be very fair. There is a gradual process and a boy of 18 years as I just want to keep learning and keep trying to leave things. But I think that what happens is a little what has been said about me: rumors of transfers, the controversy of whether or not there is competition with Bojan. People may have the impression that I am Bojan direct competition, but I did not feel well. I am quiet, doing my job. Anyway, everything serves to mature.

Are you of those who prefer to win 1-0 or 3-2?

1-0 for the sake of the goalkeeper.

And if yours is 3-2 with goals?

Man, then I am with that result (laughs).

If I could choose, what title will be left?

An individual! I do not have any. Either is fine for me.

Do you see holding them?

Yes. I trust a lot in my colleagues, in the team and in myself and I believe that we not one but two titles.
