Agent: 'Adriano could leave Barcelona'

The agent of Barcelona defender Adriano has intimated that his client could leave Camp Nou this summer in search of first-team football.

The Brazilian, 30, endured a bit-part role in the Catalans' treble-winning season under Luis Enrique last term by starting just 17 games in all competitions.

"Adriano is very happy at Barcelona, he gets along well with everyone and has written true history there," Paulo Afonso told Mundo Deportivo. "Adriano is very grateful to Barca for all these years and all the titles he's won.

"But he wants to play, he wants more minutes, and that's the only thing that could see him leave Barca.

"We are listening to offers and, when we meet with the player, we will get together with the club and find the best solution for both parties. He wants to have more minutes and to play for a Champions League team."

Adriano, who joined the Blaugrana in 2010 from Sevilla, is contracted to the Spanish giants until 2017.
