FC Barcelona signs David Villa for 40 Million Euros
FC Barcelona has completed their first signing of the summer in the form of David Villa from
Valencia. THe official FC Barcelona website has broken the story just moments ago. Barca was widely
expected to copmplete the signing by Friday.
Quite strange, isn't it? Yesterday there were reports that Guardiola is having a re-think on
Yaya, but today the news has been confirmed that Manchester City has secured his signing. This ends
a rather long transfer speculation. Now Yaya will join his brother Kolo at Manchester City,
meanwhile Guardiola would be out in market for a decent holding midfielder.
FC Barcelona has confirmed the agreement of a deal (rumoured to be around 15 million) for the
return of Dmytro Chygrynskiy to Shaktar. Barca bought the tall defender from Shaktar at around 30
Million, now does that makes sense to sell him just after one miserable year? Chygrynskiy's lack of
pace was always going to trouble him and his performance in each of his appearances strengthened
that belief.
FC Barcelona have confirmed that they have released Thierry henry for Free. Thierry Henry will
be now signing for Ney York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer on Thursday. Earlier Henry has placed

24 Million Euros in 2007.
