FC Barcelona make van Nistelrooy move
First Published: May 03, 2002


FC Barcelona president Joan Gaspart met Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy this week for talks in the Catalan capital.

The meeting took place after United were defeated in a Champions League semi final and saw Gaspart's office staff show the Dutch star around Barca's Camp Nou stadium.

Barca have also looked at signing Argentine forward Hernan Crespo from SS Lazio who also have interest from Madrid in their striker.

But the move for van Nistelrooy will shock United's fans.

The 22 year old is the club's top scorer in his first season at United and he is rated at $45 million in the transfer market.

His sale looks very unlikely as United look to regroup after an unsuccessful season by their standards. United also have interest from Barca in their midfielder Juan Veron and are sure to resist any attempt by Barca to try and sign former PSV star van Nistelrooy.

According to this article, he's a 22-year old hot shot striker.
 
sell the cripple, we haven't won anything this year...i hear inter are willing to sell ronaldo, lets get him!
 
It would be a step down to join Barca from Utd, and that is comming from a Liverpool fan :eek:

Barca are a name. They are underachievers with mountainous pressure that they cant handle.
 
No way RVN would leave us now. He's just had the most successful year of his short life and we have taken to him like flies to sh*t. I can see Seba leaving us for a tidy sum but not our Ruud. He's here to stay. And long may he reign...
:cool:
 
Veron to Barcelona -- Possibly ... Rudd I don't believe it! <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />

:rolleyes: Only the first year into his contract, and a successful year. Does it really seem likely.
 
Beside that, RVN have always said that United was his favorite club, and why leave your favorite club, when you are the most scoring player and have a secure place on the team. <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />
 
They are only printing this stuff as he s the big cheese at O/T right now and they cant dig up any dirt on him.We'd not be reading transfer rumours if he'd sh*gged a few lap dancers ;)
 
If RVN was talking to Barca, did he have the clubs permission and have they agreed a potential fee? Wouldn't Barca be in heavy shit if not?

Balls, the lot of it and just the same with Veron!

Grow up. Children. Watch the soaps if you need pointless gossip.
 
Just another tabloid-story for selling more news <img src="graemlins/yawn.gif" border="0" alt="[Yawn]" />
 
Here we go, the silly season has begun already and it is still early may! :rolleyes:

That report is pure media fiction, totally baseless and 100% untrue. The end!

They didn't even get his age right, much less the story.
 
First of all Barca dont have any money until they sell their most prized assets.

absolutely vanderful news.....who needs the man anyways, probably injure his knee doing one of those knee-slides on the pitch again....jedi master say, let's dump him and go for real goal-getter...Ade Akinbiyi!!
 
Ruud was in Barcelona to film an ad for Coca Cola, (or Pepsi).

Hope that clears it up. :)
 
Oh yes, I heard something about this, it was in the newspaper under classfied bollocks!
