Keita, a key to the signings of Thiago Silva and Capoue

That of Mali holds the key to Milan, who wants to sell its headquarters and Barça look for their replacement in Toulouse midfielder.

Unwittingly or drink, Seydou Keita has become a key piece for two players of interest to Barça ahead of next season to finish clocking: the center-back of Milan Thiago Silva and Toulouse midfielder Etienne Capoue, though different reasons.

Keita, who accumulates four seasons at Barça, is one of the major objectives of Milan to strengthen their midfield. The veteran Clarence Seedorf (36 years) and Gennaro Gattuso (34), together with the confirmed return of Mark van Bommel from PSV, AC Milan to sign forced to shore up its average.

The Mali midfielder has many girlfriends (Anzhi, Liverpool, Milan ...), but of all the proposals that most appeals to you is primarily Italian club, which not only ensures its high last contract in the economic, but also allows you to continue to compete at the highest level as in the Camp Nou.

Consequently, and given that Barça is the best substitute but not a permanent fixture, the club azulgrana could use the 'weapon Keita' to get Thiago Silva, a center-back that continues for several seasons but so far not even had been raised by high economic demands of Milan.

Now, however, and although still a mainstay for Milan in the axis of the rear, with the letter Keita, the club could at least bring down the purchase of Brazilian international, who last summer renewed by all 'Rossoneri 'until June 2016.

Given the eventual departure of Keita to Milan, Barça has prepared a plan B to replace that of Mali. One player that most scouts have followed the culés, and already sounded in their day to supply the lower Touré Yaya is Toulouse midfielder Etienne Capoue.

The French footballer of Guadeloupean origin, possesses all the qualities required Barça midfielder: good ball control, intelligent interpretation, strong defensively ...

In addition, the cost would not resemble in anything that would ask for Javi Martínez Athletic, the most liked at Can Barça, so almost the same price as the red and white, plus Keita, Thiago Silva could end up landing and Capoue. (via MD)

Van Bommel's departure reinforces the offensive of Milan by Keita

Keita's name still sounds hard on the environment 'Rossoneri' and, especially, after the departure of Van Bommel.

Mark Van Bommel will leave Milan at the end of the season to return to Dutch football, as the Italian press reports.

The midfielder will sign an annual contract with his team life, PSV Eindhoven, to live at home the last years of his career.

At 35, Van Bommel will not renew with the whole 'Rossoneri' and these are becoming increasingly clear that Keita is the ideal candidate to fill its low in the squad.
Interest in the Mali midfielder is not new but with a hole in the template and, Galliani will press to convince the azulgrana. (via SPORT)

Keita opened the door to Thiago Silva

The Italian press has become a hive of continuous rumors at this end of season.

For months the option that Seydou Keita ends up being a new player of Milan is one of the most recurrent news. The Malian footballer environment has confirmed the interest of Massimo Allegri's squad, but also pointed out that there is no formal offer to the player and no one has addressed yet Barça to negotiate the relevant transfer.

In Italy also ensure that the operation would be feasible including a second player. This is Thiago Silva. Rumors collect the interest of Barcelona by the Brazilian center-backl and its will cheapen a more expensive operation than drawing out of Seydou Keita. No further details that the interest and desire of all parties, but the fact is that there would be time to open negotiations and concrete figures.

By the way, and while the patient waiting Milan, several teams of Premier have also moved the card and have targeted the environment to probe player's will. (via SPORT)

All you will get sales for reinforcements

The Barça's transfer strategy is marked by the economic availability. The club is in diposición to invest 50 million euros and this must be added the proceeds from hypothetical transfers, which will be present. Will be grown players who do not see them fit into the first team or even a big name, assumptions not be excluded.

We must also be aware of the offers received if they are good. It has, for example, the pull to have players like Adriano Correia, Seydou Keita and Ibrahim Afellay. (via MD)
