MOTTA WANTS TO BE FREEThiago Motta has hit out at Barcelona for hindering his exit from the club after Txiki Begiristain went public in his desire to sell the player.
The Blaugrana are said to have asked Motta to hold talks with Milan and Real Zaragoza who have both registered their interest in signing him.
After being told that he was not part of Barca's plans next season the 24-year-old has said that he will go, but only on a free transfer.
"I am surprised that Txiki has said publicly that they do not want me," he said.
"That only obstructs my ability to negotiate with other clubs.
"Milan and Zaragoza are great clubs and is obvious that I cannot discard either.
"I have come to the conclusion, however, that I want to be given a free transfer to allow me to search for a new club.
"At the moment I have talked with Barca once and there has been no news and I have to resolve things with Txiki and then I can talk to other clubs."
