Alexandre Song Eyes Premier League Return After Disappointing Barcelona Stint
After enduring a challenging and underwhelming season at FC Barcelona, Cameroon international Alexandre Song is reportedly looking to end his time with the Catalan club. The 33-year-old defensive midfielder, who joined Barcelona from Arsenal in 2012, has expressed his desire to leave the Spanish giants during the upcoming transfer window.
According to the Daily Mirror, Song could be poised for a return to the Premier League, though not to his former club Arsenal, where he spent a successful seven years from 2005 to 2012. Instead, the Cameroonian could be headed to one of two of England’s top clubs: Liverpool or Manchester United.
Both Premier League powerhouses are believed to be in the running for Song’s signature, but Liverpool could hold a slight advantage in the race. With the Reds securing a spot in next season’s Champions League, Song may be swayed by the prospect of playing in Europe’s premier competition.
While his time at Barcelona has not lived up to expectations, Song’s experience and versatility could still be valuable assets for either club. However, it remains to be seen how much Barcelona would demand for the player, given his diminished role at the club and his desire to leave.
Song’s next move could significantly impact the next phase of his career, with a return to England offering the opportunity for him to rediscover his best form in a familiar league. As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on the midfielder’s next step, with Liverpool and Manchester United likely to be locked in competition for his services.
