Valdes Not Leaving Barcelona –Report

Reports that Barcelona’s number one shot stopper; Victor Valdes could be leaving the Catalans for has been negated as it has been confirmed by the club management that Valdes will continue to man the goalpost for Barcelona.
He’s been the man behind the goalpost of the Catalans for over a decade now, but lately he’s been the subject of negative press, but despite the rumour mill that Valdes is no longer gaining favour from the club management and fans’ alike, the speculation was brought to rest by the club management after the rumour that the Spaniard does not have a future anymore with the Catalan club was tagged silly.
It all started when Valdes commented on his future saying he was not sure as he is yet to begin talks with the club on a new contract and the media latched on it saying he was not sure what the future held for him and Valdes’ loyalty to Barcelona was questioned.
The rumour got rife even more when Marca reported that Valdes’ agent, Gines Carvajal, stated that negotiations had not begun despite the words of Barcelona director Andoni Zubizarreta.
In fact, Valdes even stated that he would talk about his future with Barcelona when the time is right.
The pure speculation that Valdes could want a move away from the club has prompted clubs such as Liverpool to ponder a move for the Catalan keeper.
The media left out an important fact in the same interview the media claimed Valdes commented on his leaving Barca, when Valdes said that “My dream is to retire here…time will tell.” a statement that the club director; Andoni Zubizaretta had to look into after which he decided to clear the air on the speculations which had already lit up like a wild fire.
The Barcelona director clearly made known that Valdes has made no mention of wanting to leave the club.
Zubizarreta was also outspoken on the love that Barcelona has for Victor Valdes as it appears as though both parties involved want the keeper to remain at Barcelona.
