Barcelona’s Joan Laporta has claimed that Victor Valdes is the best goalkeeper on the globe, bar none at this point.
Valdes has been linked with a move out of Barcelona due to contractual problems, mainly due to salary issues.
However, Laporta has told the Spanish press that he has the "the best goalkeeper in the world" and will get "what he deserves" as far as his salary goes.
"I believe that he wants to continue and we will be fair with the amount we say so that we can arrive at an agreement," Laporta said in an interview.
Laporta went on to claim that being a Blaugrana goalkeeper is "more difficult than at any other team" as "he saves few shots but always has to be on form".
The president also commented about the possibility of signing Cesc Fabregas, and revealed that it is something he would look forward to.
"I would very much like to have Fabregas in a Barcelona shirt but the opinions of the coach is what makes the decisions. We know that he is a big player and that he would fit our style perfectly," added Laporta.
When queried if Fabregas' ‘arrival' would give La Blaugrana the best midfield in the world, Laporta declared that they already "have the best".
"Everything can improve, but the coach decides on things like this. I am sure that he would adapt to the system," he said.
In a rather contradictory statement, when asked about the rumoured interest of Real Madrid in Fabregas, the president said that he sees him at his current club, and "not" another.
"He is a player who is at home and is comfortable with Arsenal, it would show a lack of respect towards Arsenal to speak about this," he concluded.
