Barcelona work overtime to find buyer for Alex Song

Barcelona secretary Robert Fernandez is working overtime in an attempt to offload Alex Song this summer.

Song was on loan at West Ham last term, but the Hammers are moving to sign free agent Joey Barton and the Cameroon international looks unlikely to return to Upton Park.

According to Catalan daily Sport, there is currently no interest on the table for Song, something which has sent Fernandez into overdrive in an attempt to find a destination for the midfielder.

Barcelona want to recoup as much of the €18m spent to sign Song from Arsenal as possible, however he has just two years left on his contract at the Camp Nou.

Song made 31 appearances in all competitions for West Ham last season, providing his team-mates with three assists.

Since joining Barcelona, Song has made 65 appearances for the Catalan giants, with a single goal.

Song clocked up 204 appearances for Arsenal until opting to quit the Gunners to sign for Barcelona in 2012.
