According to Barcelona-based daily Sport, Barcelona are set to take another stab at signing David Villa this summer after failing to do so last year. As outlined in a report released by the publication, the Valencia striker is highly rated by both coach Pep Guardiola and Txiki Begiristain.
Sport speculates that Barca are looking to sign a left-sided attacker who can also serve as an alternative to Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the central role, thus opening the doors to El Guaje. Whilst not Barca's ideal replacement on the left wing, with Sport reporting that Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery, Valencia's Juan Mata, Valencia's David Silva, and Benfica's Angel Di Maria are all possible additions ahead of Villa, the Spanish striker could make a fairly seamless replacement for Thierry Henry. The Frenchman is not billed to be at the Camp Nou next season and Villa would also be able to interchange with Ibrahimovic in the central role.
Villa already plays in the flank position when partnering Fernando Torres in the Spanish national side or when Nikola Zigic is fielded at Valencia. Villa is currently on 17 goals in La Liga and, despite his 28 years, is one of Europe's most coveted prospects. His transfer fee is anticipated to be in the €50 million range.
