Barça target Afellay uncertain of future

(GSM) – Barcelona target Ibrahim Afellay has admitted that he does not know where his future lies as he prepares to depart PSV.

The Holland midfielder has made it clear that he wants a fresh challenge after spending his whole career at the Dutch outfit.

Despite admitting that he would relish playing for the Catalans, Afellay has revealed that nothing is decided and he is simply concentrating on helping PSV win the Eredivisie.

He told Catalan-based newspaper Sport: “I don’t know anything. I only know what I’ve read in the newspapers on the internet, but I still don’t know what my future will be because there are many options.

“At the moment I don’t think there has been contact between Barca and PSV.

“It is a fantastic club, a club everybody knows, with a team who plays really attractive football and who are one of the greats. But I insist that I still I don’t know anything about my future.

“The only thing I can do is to continue training as always and play the best I know how with my team, which is still PSV.”

PSV announced last month that Afellay will not be signing a new contract when his current deal expires at the end of the season.

The announcement led the 24-year-old being linked to a host of Europe’s top sides, among them Barça.

Afellay, however, has admitted he would love to play alongside Barça’s World Cup-winning midfielders Xavi and Andres Iniesta.

“For any player it would be fantastic to play with these two players. They have a very high level, they are known throughout the football world.

“They are so good. But there is nothing, as I said before, so I prefer not to think about it,” said Afellay.
