"The player has not manifested any particular preference, although naturally we will listen to his opinion.[LNB]"We haven't concluded any deal yet because there are still some details to work through."[LNB]Reports claim that Barca's attempts to include Jeffren in a deal are not going down well with the player, while the chances of Udinese accepting Jonathan Soriano appear to have diminished also.
