Javier Saviola has revealed that he will probably have to leave FC Barcelona, even the Catalan Club is his first choice. Saviola is a free agent next summer when his contract expires but admitted that the European Champions have not made any offer yet. Saviola explained:

I think it will be difficult for me to continue with Barcelona. My first option is to stay, but the club still hasn't made an offer to me. If the situation does not change it is normal that I will leave the club.




FC Barcelona's techniocal secretary Txiki Beguiristain feels it is too soon to offer Saviola a new contract and admitted that the contract negotiations do not have priority at the moment:

It is still too soon to speak about the subject of Saviola. It is still not a priority for us.




FC Barcelona Blog: It does not look like Saviola will stay. Barca know that there are plenty of Clubs after the Argentinian striker but if it is not the Club´s priority to negotiate with a player who can sign for free for other clubs now, it is not a positive sign.


Should Saviola stay or not?

It's very sad to think that Barca can wish saviola away after what the contribution he has made to the club. The boy is disciplined, patient and highly gifted. He scores important goals for Barca and combines excellently with Ronaldinho, Deco, Messi and Eto'o. He cannot be compared to Gudjohnsen coz he's better than him by far. The players to be sold are Gudjohnsen, Thuram, Zambrotta, Ezquerro, Motta, Oleguer, Gio and Sylvinho. This will give way for tall and fast defenders to be brought to Nou Camp. I recommend the following players if its possible to sign them: Abidal, Dani Alves, Kaka, Christiano Ronaldo, Robben and Robinho (who is unsettled at Real Madrid). These are quality players who defend and attack and can strengthen barca in all the departments. What do you think Sven?

Its very sad to see Saviola not being offered a contract extension or not being invited for discussion on the same. He has fought for his position and its very difficult that we have so many players vying for the same spot. But he has contributed immensely for the team this season andshould be invited for a contract extension. He is only out and out CF left in the squad after ETO'O. We should sign Abidal or Alves and Frings.
