Barcelona yet to decide the fate of Song

Despite his successful season with West Ham, neither the Premier League club, which has now been reinforced with attacking forward Florent Payet from Marseille and winger Pedro Obiang from Sampdoria nor the Spanish giants Barcelona want him this coming season.

With the transfers of both Song and Adama set in stone, and with the doubts surrounding Pedro, Barcelona need to resolve the issues surrounding Alex Song (27).

The Cameroonian, who seemed to be very close to West Ham at the beginning of the transfer market, now seems to have a much more unclear future. With the Premier League having already started, it seems that West Ham have cut Song out of their plans.

Even though his good season meant that his signing was seen in good light, it is clear that the interest for the central midfielder has cooled and that the club has already chosen his replacement.

It’s precisely this situation that plays against Barcelona to find him a new club. Barca have no place for the footballer, but other clubs will have to be patient before Barca show any sign of accepting a lower offer for a player that cost them £15 million.

Once this problem has been fixed, and Pedro has decided where his future lies, Barcelona will make the decision to strengthen the squad. In this case, time is on their side, as even if they sign a player this summer in the transfer window, they won’t be able to play until the start of 2016, meaning that Luis Enrique would be able to wait until December and negotiate a better contract. Nolito and Abdennour look to be best placed to be signed by Barca if they were to decide to continue spending this summer.
