Spanish sports newspapers report that they intend to acquire the team's defender Anders Svensson. If the deal goes through, the Swede would most likely move to Spain this winter.
"It is an honor for me to be on the list of candidates for 'Barcelona'," - said A. Svensson. "My contract with 'Southampton' is valid for another year, but I hope that the clubs will come to the negotiating table."
The 28-year-old defender has been representing "Southampton" since 2001, when he transferred from "Elfsborg" for 700 thousand pounds. He quickly adapted to the new team and is now one of the leaders of the club.
In case of a transfer, A. Svensson would join his countryman Henrik Larsson, who arrived in Catalonia this summer.
