Hleb set to reject English and German moves

by Robin Hackett , 04 June 2009

Alexander Hleb is set to remain at Barcelona despite interest from major clubs in England and Germany, according to his agent.

The Belarus international has struggled to make an impact at Camp Nou since leaving Arsenal last summer and has become frustrated by his lack of opportunities.

Bundesliga sides Bayern Munich and Stuttgart have both been strongly linked with the player while more recent reports suggest Aston Villa could be interested, but agent Oliver Minztlaff insists he wants to stay to fight for his place.

"Hleb is not satisfied with the opportunities he has had,” he told Sport.

“He would like to play more, but he is confident that he will be able to prove to [boss Pep] Guardiola that he is good enough.

“In Barca, he has found a club where he can win titles and his sole intention is to stay there.”

He added: “Very important clubs from Germany and England are interested.”
