Barcelona won't match Man Utd bid for Gudjohnsen


Barcelona won't go higher than £7 million for Chelsea striker Eidur Gudjohnsen. Talks were held in London yesterday over the Iceland international, who has already informed Barca he is keen on a move to the Nou Camp.
Complicating matters for Barca is that Chelsea have higher bids of £9 million from Manchester United and Middlesbrough.
Barca coach Frank Rijkaard wants Gudjohnsen as a replacement for Henrik Larsson, who has signed for Helsingborg. Rijkaard sees the Chelsea striker as a capable backup for Samuel Eto'o next season.
