Abidal on verge of extending Barcelona contract

Eric Abidal says he is on the verge of signing a contract extension with Spanish champion Barcelona.

The France defender says a deal is "90 percent done," adding "the only thing left is to sign the contract ... the Barca adventure continues."

Barcelona beat AC Milan 3-2 in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old Abidal has been a regular in the team since joining from Lyon in 2007, making 168 appearances and helping the three-time defending Spanish champions win 12 trophies over that period.

Abidal recovered from a liver tumor to help the Catalan club win its fourth European Cup in May.
