3-way foreign battle for Villa's Baros
|
Aston Villa striker Milan Baros appears on his way out of the Premiership.
Villa boss David O'Leary is keen to cash in on the Czech Republic international and the Birmingham Mail says Baros appears to be at the centre of a three way tug-of-war between Monaco, Paris St Germain and Hamburg SV.
Paris SG have recently been taken over by new owners and their new President, Alain Cayzac, has promised to hand coach Guy Lacombe a new striker and midfielder.
But Cayzac has vowed to take his time in the transfer market and will be careful with their new funds. He said: "Recruitment must be strategic. It is necessary to find balance between ambition and financial stringency.
"We have time and one should not be pressed. The recruited players must correct weaknesses or gaps."
He also hinted that he is prepared to splash out: "Let us pay attention to the recruitment of "opportunity", a good free player is not inevitably that which we need!".
Monaco have been touted as a possible destination for Baros for some weeks but Hamburg's interest could suit all parties.
They already have his international team-mate David Jarolim on their books and are said to be looking at increasing their firepower to give them a better chance of qualifying for the Champions League having finished third in the Bundesliga behind Bayern and Werder Bremen.
