What's it got to do with Barca, if real want him.
http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3274/...livier-giroud-Montpellier have reportedly increased Olivier Giroud's buy-out clause to €16 million (£13.4 million) in a bid to avoid losing the forward on the cheap in the summer.
The France international was heavily linked with a move to Newcastle during the January transfer window but no official approach was made to the Ligue 1 leaders, while Arsenal are also believed to be monitoring his situation closely.
The Toon have since purchased Senegalese striker Papiss Demba Cisse from Freiburg, leaving the Gunners as Giroud's likeliest suitors should a move to the Premier League be his preferred choice.
Montpellier, though, are bracing themselves for concrete offers in the summer and, according to France Football, have now decided to raise Giroud's buy-out clause, which had previously stood at €10m (£8.4m).
The club's president, Louis Nicollin, had previously stated that he would not allow the player, who is under contract until 2014, to leave for anything less than €50m (£42m).
Giroud, who has been capped twice by his country, has hit 16 goals in 22 games for Montpellier in Ligue 1 so far this season.

Udinese are preparing to cash in on highly-rated goalkeeper Samir Handanovic. The 27-year-old Slovenia international was a target for Manchester United before they opted to sign David De Gea in the summer.

Rodrigo was fucking awful at Bolton. Fuck that
Handanovic is a Must Get
I highly doubt he'd choose spuds over the mancs or chavs or city tbh, spuds can't afford his wages that city will give him. IMO he will go to real anyway.
Seems to me his agent is fising around for a good deal
He said he wants to come England as he doesn't think he'll make the first team of Real or the ****s and as they are the only 2 who are likely to win the league, he wouldn't want to go anywhere else in Spain so England it is.
If Hazard goes to spuds we're screwed. Where do they get all their money from? I hope the big teams start fishing around their star players.
He wont get in their team as it stands
