Re: Silva has £14m release clause

here's a translated report:

Silva And Malouda Split The Press

Barcelona's desire to sign a left-sided forward has split the daily sports papers with AS claiming that a bid of €20m for David Silva is being prepared, while Sport believe that a higher offer for Florent Malouda is on the cards.

The Catalan giants made their first move into the transfer market on Monday when they met Seydou Keita's buy-out clause of €14m to sign him from Sevilla and now they want to move forward.

Valencia have acknowledged that one or two big names will need to be sold to balance the books and it is believed that Silva could well be on his way if the asking price is met.

Barça have attempted to talk los Ché down, but €20m is the fee that the club are demanding and if Pep Guardiola is insistent then that could be agreed, AS believe.

In Catalunya, the diminutive Spanish international is seen as second choice with Sport stating that the Blaugrana are set to pursue their interest in Malouda first.

The Chelsea misfit will also demand around €20m only a year after joining the London club from Olympique Lyonnais and that means that Guardiola will have to choose his man carefully.

A third option, put forward by Sport, is Arsenal's Aleksandr Hleb, who could prove to be somewhat cheaper than the other two.

The Belorussian may not be the flair player that Guardiola wants to supply the crosses and create the play down the left flank, however, and yet another option could well be sought.
