Pep Guardiola Wants Cesc Fabregas & Franck Ribery At Barcelona
Pep Guardiola wants to sign Cesc Fabregas and Franck Ribery in order to maintain the momentum of his historic Barcelona team over the summer.
The Blaugrana boss will also add two defenders to his ranks, but he has pinpointed the two high profile stars as the key men to give his squad what he deems a necessary boost.
After the Catalan club’s domestic title and Champions League triumph in 2006, no big names were added and president Joan Laporta and his team have learnt that they must freshen things up this summer.
In order to avoid that same complacency, Barca are working behind the scenes to secure the Arsenal captain and the Bayern Munich winger, Sport state.
Several players are due to leave Camp Nou this summer and Guardiola wants players that he can rely upon to play in more than one position going forward.
Fabregas could replace Xavi or could play alongside him if Andres Iniesta is employed in the front three.
Ribery can provide options down either flank. He will compete with Thierry Henry on the left and cover for Lionel Messi on the right.
