BRIEF-Soccer-Hleb to seek move if he fails to win Barca place

MOSCOW, July 15 - Barcelona midfielder Aleksandr
Hleb will leave the Spanish club at the end of the year unless
he starts playing more regularly, Russian daily Sport-Express
quoted him as saying.

"For now I'm still a Barca player," the 28-year-old Belarus
international told the newspaper. "I'll try my best but if my
situation doesn't improve then I will have to find another
club."

Hleb moved from Arsenal for 15 million euros ($21.07
million) 12 months ago but played only a limited role as
Barcelona won a European and domestic treble last season.
