It's been a while since a French international has been rumored to be coming to RBNY, hasn't it? Well, ESPN Deportes is suggesting that Eric Abidal has an offer from the club. The defender has announced his departure from Barcelona today.

Abidal has been with the Catalan giants since 2007, obviously intersecting the time of Thierry Henry. Prior to that, he started his career with Monaco and played with Juninho at Lyon. Abidal has 61 caps for France and was part of their rosters at the last two World Cups, as well as Euro 2008.

Abidal's time the last two seasons was limited due to a tumor on his liver. He received a liver transplant a year ago.

"I haven't spoken to Eric Abidal," Andy Roxburgh told reporters.
