Agent: Nemanja Vidic Would Be 'Delighted' To Join Barcelona

The Serbia international's agent has done little to calm speculation.

EPL: Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United v Sunderland (PA)
Manchester United centerback Nemanja Vidic has been mooted as one of the names Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola is considering to reinforce his defensive area.

The 27-year-old defender, who joined the Red Devils from Spartak Moscow in January 2006, is regarded as a key member of the squad by coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

But despite the Scottish tactician's reluctance to part company with Vidic, the Serbian is looking for pastures new, according to his agent.

"Vidic would be delighted to play at Barca as his dream is to go to the Spanish league," Paolo Fabbri told RAC1.

"We have to analyze the situation but, being realistic, things are complicated at the moment.

"The team just lost Cristiano Ronaldo and [Carlos] Tevez and they do not want to lose another important piece of their starting XI once again."
