The Blaugrana hierarchy are irritated by the Mexican's
insistence that he deserves a vastly improved deal at the club
without improving his performances on the pitch.
According to Sport, Dos Santos and his agent state that they will
find a new club unless their wage demands are met and that there is
plenty of interest.
Claims are made that the starlet is interesting several major clubs
across Europe and that is the main reason why Barça must be sure to
secure his services immediately.
Months of that attitude have now seen he club have a re-think as
they do not believe that he is improving as much as they had hoped
at the highest level.
In the media, it has been well known for some time that the player
has caused problems, but now it is becoming more problematic and it
could spell the end of his stay at the club.
While a loan deal is a possibility, Barcelona believe that they
could receive around €10m and would be happy with a bid of anything
close to that figure.
Chelsea were linked with Dos Santos last year, but it remains to be
seen if new boss Avram Grant has any interest.
Sport state that Barça should be swamped with calls and faxes if
Dos Santos and his agent are to be believed, but that in reality
they may have to go calling clubs if he is told to move on.
