Las Palmas president Miguel Ángel Ramírez says Barcelona have gone cold on Alberto Moleiro.

The midfielder was all set to join Barce last summer, but interest has since waned.

Ramirez said, "It was not an economic problem, in the summer there was an agreement in principle but then things could not be done."

He added: "For Barça, it was important to put together the squad to compete in the current season and the economic fair play did not allow us to calmly look for a solution to the operation."

Since then, nothing has moved between the two clubs: "It is still pending, I know that Barça like the player.

"He is in a shop window where big teams in European and Spanish football are interested."

In fact, when asked if Real Madrid are among them, he assured that "the big teams like him."
