Liverpool and Arsenal targets could remain at Barcelona

Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta says there has been no movement over Dani Alves’ contract, whilst also confirming their have been no offers for Pedro Rodriguez.

Brazilian international Alves is fully expected to leave the Camp Nou next summer as his current deal expires, giving the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool food for thought in attempting to sign the defender.

However, further reports in Spanish press claim that Barca may indeed offer the former Sevilla man a new contract after a superb start to the season under boss Luis Enrique.

“We’ve done nothing in that respect,” Andoni Zubizarreta told AS. “We’re talking about the contract with him. We’ll see what the road is we’ll take. It’s also influenced by the decision of Fifa [the transfer ban].

“The best thing is that we come to see an incisive Dani, that’s important.”

The former keeper also spoke about another player being linked with the Premier League in Pedro, but insisted no offers had been received from England.

“There’s nothing in my office and we’ve not put him on the market,” he said.
