Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce has made an audacious bid for Barcelona wonderkid Bojan Krkic. The Catalans are desperate to secure a loan deal for Bojan next season as he is not yet considered ready for Josep Guardiola's first team. And Blackburn have contacted Barca about the possibility of taking the teenager to Ewood Park next season. A senior Rovers source told The Sun: 'We heard he could be available and are starting to think about next season now our Premier League place is all but secured. 'Sam has worked with big-name stars before and would like to do so again with Rovers.' The player's agent Zoran Vekic said he would not entertain talk of a transfer until the end of the season. 'Now it is not possible, Vekic told setanta.com. 'In 15 days there are possible talks (with Barcelona) but now it is not possible to speak to another club. 'Bojan is very happy in Barcelona and it is not possible now to change club.' And asked if Bojan, who has also been linked to Tottenham, would be interested in playing in England, Vekic said bluntly: 'No.'
