Victor Valdes’ agent has admitted the goalkeeper is struggling
to find an agreement with Barcelona over his future at Camp
Nou.
Agent Gines Carvajal insists Valdes wants to stay at Barcelona,
but he cannot guarantee the keeper will stay amidst reports of a
summer move to Manchester United.
Valdes has just one year left on his current contract and
Carvajal concedes reports that there are problems between player
and club are true.
"It's complicated," he told Catalan radio station Rac1. "There
are differences, because if there weren't then we would have
already renewed.
"Our desire is to continue negotiating. On our part, we are not
breaking up any talks and Barca have not told me that they are
either."
Valdes was La Liga’s top keeper this season and, with Edwin van
der Sar showing signs of weakness in the Champions League final, it
is reported Sir Alex Ferguson wants the Barcelona keeper as the
Dutchman’s replacement.
However, Carvajal insists such a move will only develop if Barca
tell Valdes he is not wanted.
"We don't have any offers and nor are we going to listen to any,
wherever they come from, because Victor has a year left on his
contract and he owes it to Barcelona.
"We don't want to listen to anything which will distract us from
the idea of renewing at Barcelona.
"Our desire is that the situation sorts itself out. As we still
have a lot of time, that's where we are."
