The technical secretary of FC Barcelona Txiki Begiristain has clarified the situation regarding Argentine striker Javier Saviola. Txiki Begiristain has made FC Barcelona’s intentions clear regarding the future of Javier Saviola. Txiki confirmed that after the Liga break, Barca will work on an offer and present such offer at the right time:

We will be leaving our decision, as he knows perfectly well because we spoke to his agent a month ago, until after this league break, when we will start working on an offer. We hope, he studies our proposal, which will correspond to what the player represents for us and that he accepts it.

The Player needs to know what his future is. But it will club that decides when to make its offer.


Javier Saviola’s contract ends on June 30 and he is keen to know, what the offer will be:

The club has not approached me. I just want them to come forward and tell me what they think. But I am not holding a gun up to anybody to force them to stay here. I don’t know how to deal with the situation. I don’t know what I have to do to make them come and speak to me.

I have had some lovely years here. Since I gambled on staying at Barcelona, I have always come to training and given it all I can. And when I play, too. I don’t regret the decision I made and I have always acted like a professional.

Out of respect, I won’t speak about any clubs. I have not left Barça yet and I don’t know yet if I will have to leave. The day I know what the club thinks, I will start deciding whether to go or not.

This season, Saviola appeared in 21 official matches. 16 in La Liga, 5 in the Copa del Rey and 1 in the Champions league. He has scored 12 goals so far.
