Arsenal and City interested in Puyol

Carles Puyol fc barcelona 810

According to reports coming from England, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is keen on signing the FC Barcelona captain Carles Puyol. The Frenchman believes that Puyol could become a perfect partner for Vermaelen in Arsenal’s defense but their Premiership rivals, Manchester City, are also interested in signing the Barca icon.

Reportedly, Manchester City coach, Mark Hughes, is looking to strengthen his defense, despite signing Kolo Toure and Lescott this summer. Should they succeed in their plan, City would improve their image as a football brand.

Puyol still hasn’t renewed his contract and if Barca fails to close the deal, their captain would become a free agent in the summer.

  1. puyol should not move from barca.he is a real captain.

  2. We really need him.

  3. Txiki and Laporta better get their heads out of their asses and make sure our captain doesn’t go anywhere. It’ll be a sad day if Carles is no longer at Barca.

  4. Just give him what he wants! How hard can it be? I will never forgive them if they lose Puyi.

  5. I hope this is just a rumor

  6. Rumours are that we are giving away Puyol and Toure for Kompany and Robinho. If there is even one per cent of truth in this, then I dont know what they are thinking. I mean Robinho. He is just a crybaby and nothing else.

  7. Despite his age, his versatility on the back end is of extreem value is it not? Furthermore, Marquez is only one year younger than him and Milito is only 2 years younger than him. Even if Pep doesn’t think that he should be in the starting 11, he could rotate with Pique, Chygrynskiy and Alves when they are rested unless another defender is scheduled to transfer to Barcelona. But in the end, I believe that the key lies with Pep. I don’t think Puyol is after the money, he wants a starting 11 position which is decided by Pep. He might be the one asking for a transfer if Pep decides that the starting spots go to Pique and Chygrynskiy.

  8. pls dont let him go cos he is barca himself

  9. puyol wont leave, he loves barca too much. i bet its just stupid people starting the rumor. blaugrana all day. yititi
