After closing the deal with Sevilla for Alves, it seems that the next player to arrive to Camp Barça will be Alexander Hleb. The bielorussian Arsenal player is very much liked by Pep Guardiola and the Catalan club have approached his managers to make them aware of the existent interest in bringing him on board for next season. At least that´s what Uli Ferber, one of Hleb´s managers, told the news channel BBC. “We have talked but have signed nothing” the manager said.

The 27 years old player already let Arsène Wenger that he was willing to play in another country next season so in the Londoner club they are aware that Hleb will fly and they´ll sit down to negotiate the transfer. It´s said that FC Barcelona will offer up to €15 million to bring the player to Camp Nou.

Brazil defender Daniel Alves said he was “happy and very satisfied” at the prospect of joining FC Barcelona from Sevilla.

FC Barcelona has agreed to pay Sevilla 29.5 million euros for Alves, which would make him the world’s most expensive right back.

On top of the 29.5 million, Sevilla could see their fee increased up to six million euros in incentives depending on Barcelona’s achievements over upcoming seasons.

“I’m happy and very satisfied. I’m an ambitious player and I hope that arriving at such an important club will help me win some important things. Let’s I hope I can win some titles,” Alves has told Catalan radio station RAC-1 today.

At the same time FC Barcelona forward Giovani Dos Santos has signed for Tottenham, the club have announced in their official website.
