Song pondering January Barcelona exit due to lack of playing time

Alex Song is considering quitting Barcelona in the next transfer window over a lack of first-team opportunities, according to Spanish sports daily AS.

 The midfielder left Arsenal only last summer for Catalunya but has struggled to break into the team with his conversion to centre-back abandoned as a failure and Barca already boasting a wealth of options in the centre of the park. Song has started just one game of a possible seven in 2013-14 - the 1-0 win over Malaga - and that was solely down to Sergio Busquets' absence through injury. The Cameroon international has in fact played just 91 minutes of a possible 630 for the Blaugrana this season, less than 15% of the gametime available, and this has forced him to reconsider his future.
