Barcelona Prepare Bid for Anton

Barcelona are apparently preparing a £5 million bid for Anton Ferdinand. As Anton has recently signed a long term contract it is unlikely the board will allow Ferdinand to leave for such a small amount.

Ferdinand is obviously interested, "I've heard about it. It's flattering to hear one of the best clubs in the world have come in, but I just play and concentrate on West Ham." The offer of playing for one of the biggest clubs in Europe would probably be too good to turn down for the young player. However having recently spent £7.25 million on Ashton West Ham must value Ferdinand at much more than £5 million.

With Barcelona also after a big name signing like Henry, it is believed they won't be prepared to pay much more than £5 million for a young defender.
