Dutch winger will not be making Serie A switch

Ibrahim Afellay's agent has dismissed reports claiming the Barcelona winger could be on his way to Italy. It has been suggested that the 25-year-old playmaker is attracting interest from Juventus and Lazio. The Holland international has struggled to force his way into Barca's star-studded first team since moving to Spain in January. He is, however, considered to be a useful asset by the Catalan giants and there are no plans for him to be offloaded. Afellay is tied to a four-and-a-half-year contract and his representative is confident Barca will honour that agreement. "There has been no contact with Juventus or Lazio," Rob Jansen told. "Afellay is happy in Spain and will continue to be a Barcelona player next season, I am 100 per cent certain."
