Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Ludovic Giuly has hailed the arrival of Jeremy Mathieu at Barcelona and believes he will be the spiritual successor to Eric Abidal.
The Catalan giants sealed a €20 million deal for the centre-back on a four-year contract from Valencia on Tuesday after weeks of negotiations between the two sides.
And Giuly - who played for Barcelona between 2004 and 2007 - insisted that Mathieu will be a strong addition at the heart of the club’s back line next term, filling the void left by fellow Frenchman Abidal in 2013.
"Mathieu is a good player. I played against him in France and Spain," Giuly told Mundo Deportivo. "He’s a strong player that can provide pace for Barca in defence.
"He might provide what Eric Abidal gave to Barcelona but much tougher.
"His price is a little high, but this is up to the clubs. The player should be focused on playing for his club and that has nothing to do with the price."
