Reports from Spain suggest Barcelona have pulled out of the race to sign Roma’s Cristian Chivu, leaving Inter and Real Madrid to battle it out.
The Romanian international had seemed very close to completing his move to the Nou Camp earlier this week when director of sport Daniele Pradé flew out for negotiations and dubbed their offer “interesting.”
The Spaniards had put forward £7m plus French winger Ludovic Giuly or alternatively £10m cash.
However, as that was followed by an improved proposal from Inter and a new £11m tender from Real Madrid, it seems that Frank Rijkaard’s side is refusing to enter a bidding war.
Today Barcelona agreed a £10m swoop for Lyon defender Eric Abidal, so that could well have signalled the end of their interest in Chivu.
Inter are now the favourites to sign the former Ajax star, having offered £10m plus the loan of ex-Chievo striker Victor Obinna. Channel 4:巴萨放弃对齐沃的追逐? 西班牙媒体暗示巴萨已退出齐沃争夺战,留下国米和皇马PK。 本来罗马和巴萨已经很接近达成一致,但随着国米抬价,皇马加入争夺,以及阿比达尔的到来,种种迹象表明巴萨似乎有意退出竞争。 现在国米最有希望得到前阿贾克斯队长,他们开出的条件是1000万英镑(折合约1500万欧元)加上前切沃射手Obinna |
