Enrique Waits For Barcelona Offer!

08 June 2011 16:16
Jose Enrique is allegedly ready and willing to join Barcelona ... as the Spanish giants prepare an offer. The Spaniard was one of Newcastle's stars last season and his form has alerted the La Liga and Champions League holders as they seek defensive reinforcements. Captain Carles Puyol is unlikely to be fit for the start of next season after knee surgery, and manager Pep Guardiola is not keen to persist with midfielder Javier Mascherano as a stand-in centre-half. The signing of Enrique would allow him to switch Eric Abidal to the heart of the defence with the Toon ace slotting in at left back.
