The 31-year-old revealed earlier this week that he will not extend his current deal with the Blaugrana, but they have little doubt that they will cope with the situation

Barcelona vice-president Carles Vilarrubi is confident that the club will find a good replacement for Victor Valdes once the goalkeeper leaves the club.

The shot-stopper's agent revealed earlier this week that he does not want to extend his current contract, which runs until the summer of 2014, but the Blaugrana are not too worried about filling the void he leaves.

"There's no need to give this too much attention. We have sufficient resources to find a good replacement," the 58-year-old told TV3.

"We now have a job on our hands and our task is to find a new goalkeeper. I have the feeling that Valdes is pretty certain about his decision. He wants to leave and we have to respect his wish."

Valdes has made almost 500 appearances for Barcelona since making his official first team debut in 2002-03.
