Barcelona's Argentine hitman, Javier Saviola's dealings with Madrid remains in doubt.


All ears are now open to hear what Barcelona has to say on the latest round of news involving the Spanish Giant's Argentine forward, Javier Saviola. Barca have chosen to maintain silence on the issue, choosing to focus on the last match they have at hand this weekend to determine who wins the La Liga.


Within a spate of 24 hours, Saviola was in and out of Real Madrid's team for next season, in the sense that it became almost certain that The Rabbit had signed for the Madrid arch rivals, after a purpoted statement from Jose Maria Minguella, a fomer candidate to Barcelona's presidency confirmed this. Minguella said:

I was in Madrid for as much as four days. During this time, I met with those who confirmed to me that Saviola has signed to play for Real Madrid. That must be the reason why he didn't play for Barcelona against Espanyol.

The relationship between Saviola and Barcelona has never been really publicised to a large extent and both parties insist that all is well, just that Saviola has signified interest to leave the Blaugrana at the end of the current season, explaining he needed more playing time.


However, in less than 24 hours after the news of Saviola's departure to Real Madrid, the officials at the Santiago Bernabeu have come out to dismiss the news of a secret contract signing with the youthful goalscorer from Barca.
Madrid's President, Ramon Calderon states:

I say in categorical terms that we have not signed any contract with Saviola.

Javier Saviola has said he wishes to leave Barcelona at the end of the season and has been linked with a lot of clubs in Spain and Italy in addition to clubs in the English Premiership.
