Afellay, the jewel of the market

Do not poke your head over the big players and there are, as usual, tied tightly locked in the form of large investments. So players like Ibrahim Afellay certainly make great assets in the market, and the young Dutchman PSV contract ends next year and the great teams from the rush of trying to gain his services.

PSV, leading the Dutch league with as much star Afellay, faces the dilemma of having the player until the end of the season or release any financial investment by transfer in the winter market. When not playing the Dutch club's Champions League, who had been done in their services in case of transfer would have Afellay for the continental showpiece.

Present in the World Cup in South Africa where he played three games off the bench, Afellay is an offensive player marking, fast, vertical and with good dribbling. It also has a more than acceptable vision and a great shot from outside the area. The goal is not his most outstanding virtue, but this year already has six goals in eleven games in the 08/09 season and marked the not inconsiderable figure of thirteen goals. Despite his youth and played about thirty times with the Oranje and is one of the great hopes for the future of the Dutch team.

At age 24, Afellay seems prepared to make the leap to a major league and quite a few teams already interested in his services, including several Spanish and Atletico, Sevilla and Barcelona, which has already Andoni Zubizarreta stated that a player is very desirable for their quality and their contractual status. Abroad, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have shown interest in the young Dutch talent.

It seems clear that the player does not renewed by their current club, and your preferences go to Spain according to sources close to the player. Sevilla looked well placed to recruit Afellay according to the preference of this for Andalusia, but the arrival of Barcelona and Manchester complicate a move to Seville club.

In Sevilla could be one of the great protagonists of the renewal Monchi intended for the Andalusian club. At Atletico be the best partner Aguero and Forlan, sometimes players who rely heavily on each other. Barcelona could play several positions: first would be the desired substitute for Xavi and Iniesta, thanks to their good vision when so required by the script, but could heeled to any of the two bands.

Whoever you take the cat into the water will contract a good footballer good present and better future, free in June or winter cheaply. If your bags speak Castilian, the Spanish league will have another great player.
