On 27th of May FC Barcelona accomplished a long dreamed goal of winning a treble for the first time in their history.
Road to winning the Spanish league was not an easy one. Barca`s fierce rivals from Madrid kept pressing until the big "El Clasico" match at Santiago Bernabeu where Pep Guardiola`s men came truimphant in a 6-2 win.
Only few days later FC Barcelona faced Chelsea in Champions league semi-final return leg at Stamford Bridge. After an early opener from Chelsea, Barca struggled to find their groove and it took a late goal from Andres Iniesta to secure a ticket for the final where FC Barcelona defeated Manchester United with a dominating performance.
Less than a month since those great achievements, FC Barcelona officials are looking to strengthen their squad in order to keep the team hungry for more titles.
Russian international and Arsenal`s left forward Andrei Arshavin is the latest name that made the list of potential Barca signings. The Russian was linked with a move to Barcelona over a year ago when he impressed the World with his magnificent performances in Euro2008. What happened next was a rare incident in European football. Andrei Arshavin, then member of Zenit Petersburg took a picture of himself with FC Barcelona shirt and made it public that he wishes to move to Barcelona. From that point, the Catalans seemed certain to sign the Russian but eventually dropped out of the race. Six months, Arshavin was signed by Arsenal for a fee of 15 million euros.
One year after their initial interest, FC Barcelona News reports that Barca are again looking to bring Arshavin to Camp Nou. Reasons behind their interest could be found in their inability to close in on their prime targets, such as Franck Ribery or Robinho.
Still, the general opinion of Barca fans is that Arshavin is the right man for FC Barcelona and they are already pressing their president, Joan Laporta, to make a move and add the player to FC Barcelona list for next season.
