ARJEN ROBBEN'S father has revealed his son would like to
play for Barcelona. Barca are planning to rebuild in the summer
after failing to live up to the previous high standards set under
coach Frank Rijkaard. And Robben, who is represented by his dad
Hans, would be happy to trade life at Chelsea for the Spanish
sunshine.
Hans said: "It would be a dream for Arjen to play in Barcelona.
"But right now he has a contract with Chelsea and there has been no
movement that I know of. "For us there would not be any problem to
settle at Barca because it is the club he dreamed of playing for
when he was a boy. "When a day comes to leave Chelsea, the No1 club
for Arjen will be Barcelona."
Although Robben is keen to showcase his skills in La Liga, Chelsea
appear ready to offer him a new contract. His father added: "What I
have understood is that Chelsea do not want to let him leave. "We
have asked what is the future of Arjen and they answered to us that
there is no way they will let him move. "He is to remain here and
they are preparing a contract extension."
