Abidal, Not Ready for a New Contract with Barcelona

Abidal Not Ready for a New Contract with Barcelona


Eric Abidal is a key player for Barcelona. He is a force to be reckoned with at defense on the left or as a center back.  He missed some of last season due to a tumor in his liver. However, Abidal made it back in time for the second leg of the champions league semifinal versus arch-rival, Real Madrid.  Abidal also played some minutes in the UEFA Champions League final against Man U and was given the captains armband.  He has played all 4 games for Barcelona this season and 2 for France.

Abidal has the desire to retired at Barcelona, but he feels he is not at full fitness. According to Barcelona's official website, he does not want to negotiate a new contract until he is 100%.  Abidal also stated, "out of respect to the club, I have to put my health first."
