Michel Vorm plays down Barcelona link

Swansea City goalkeeper Michel Vorm has rubbished speculation that has linked him with a summer switch to Barcelona.

Recent reports had claimed that the coaching staff at Barca had identified the Dutch international as the ideal replacement for Victor Valdes, who revealed earlier this year that he would not be extending his contract at Camp Nou.

Those rumours intensified further when Vorm was spotted in Barcelona with his family last weekend as the Swansea squad were given some time off.

However, Vorm has insisted that no contact has been made between his agent and the La Liga leaders.

"No, I was not in Barcelona to sign a deal. No-one of that club contacted my agent Wessel Weezenberg," he told Voetbal International.

Vorm joined the Swans from Utrecht in 2011.
