I think only Messiah believes you are signing Cesc. I don't believe that Laporta would make another Pique and not at that price. I don't know enough about the candidates but im just going by how the correlation Real Madrid and Barcelona have in terms of succes. It suggest that either Barcelona will be going down soon or that Real Madrid under Perez might not become a succes.

Sorry I think im confusing this with the Villa transfer.

Villarreal interested in bringing Poulsen back to Spain. Tottenham are apparently interested in the Dane as well. According to the article he has already turned down an offer from Fenerbahce.

Marca specularting that Aston Villa could present an offer for Luis Garcia (Espanyol) of about 6m euro. Porto and Benfica also rumoured to be interested. Espanyol rejected a 10m euro offer from Porto last summer and the player is said to be more intrigued by playing in England as opposed to Portugal.

Well that goes without saying surely?

Suprised no-one ever went after Tamudo.

Not necessarily. Some would rather play in the top team in Portugal (with CL football) rather than the 6th place team in England and UEFA Cup football.

Fair enough but I was talking about the quality of the league in general.

Surprised Sevilla haven't been in for him. He is much better then Zokora and has already proven himself in the club. Only thing that goes against him I think would be his age. Senna-Poulsen would be strong so Villarreal are making the right moves here.

He was linked with Villarreal very early on. Now it looks like Wigan are interested

God i doubt this guy could hack it in the PL now at his age

RUMOURSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

*Well, Almería was supposedly very close to signing Hernán Bernardello from Newell's but now Marca are reporting that Sevilla could swoop in because the transfer of Zokora is not moving as they expected.

*The option for Sevilla is Apoño from Málaga; what is working in their favour is that Málaga are interested in taking Duda and Lolo on permanent deals (both were on loan last year) so that could facilitate the transfer.

*Málaga was hoping to cash in on Jesús Gámez; the rejected a 4m euro offer from Valencia expecting Valencia would come back with an improved deal but then Valencia signed Bruno Saltor on a free Sevilla are also interested in Gámez but would only offer players and not cash.

*Barcelona are offering 20m euro for Mascherano.

*Carlos Bellvís (Valencia left back) is close to signing for Tenerife although Racing and Deportivo are both said to be interested as well.

*Lazio could be offering 6m euro to Zaragoza for Brasilian midfielder Matuzalem; representatives from Lazio will be in Spain at the weekend to discuss the transfer

El noruego Huseklepp está en la agenda de Mallorca, Racing y Deportivo

El noruego Erik Huseklepp podría jugar la próxima temporada en la liga española aunque Alemania o Austria podrían ser también algunos de sus destinos. El delantero del Brann está en la agenda de Mallorca, Racing o Deportivo, aunque aún no ha recibido una oferta formal de estos tres equipos.

Huseklepp, una de las estrellas noruegas del momento, siente cierta predilección por el campeonato español, aunque las ofertas con las que cuenta de varios equipos de Austria o Alemania, podrían llevarle a disputar una de las dos Bundesligas la próxima campaña.El jugador del Brann termina contrato en junio de 2010, por lo que el club noruego prefiere sacar algo por su traspaso y evitar así que se vaya libre el próximo año. Su claúsula, de tres millones de euros, le hace un futbolista asequible y apetecible para algunos equipos españoles.

Erik Huseklepp destaca por su rapidez con el balón en los pies, su gran zancada y polivalencia para jugar en varios puestos, ya sea de extremo o de único punta. Bueno en el uno contra uno, su asignatura pendiente es el juego aéreo, en el que aún no sabe explotar su altura.

Mallorca, Racing y Deportivo lo tienen en su agenda y podrían ser su próximo destino. Los bermellones han visto mermado su poder ofensivo con la salida de Arango y el regreso de Jurado al Atlético mientras que el Racing se encuentra en una posición similar con la marcha de Zigic. En el conjunto gallego, que ya se interesó por él la temproada pasada, gustó mucho cuando se vieron las caras en la Copa de la UEFA

Who??????? Riviera is going to have to give us some insight on this one...

El Milan dispuesto a pagar 15 millones por Luis Fabiano

El Milan está dispuesto a pagar 15 millones de euros por el brasileño Luis Fabiano, que milita actualmente en el Sevilla, según informa el diario deportivo italiano 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'.

El rotativo dice que la oferta del club milanés por Luis Fabiano, de 28 años, partirá en esa cantidad, pese a que la cláusula de rescisión del jugador es de 60 millones de euros.

Asimismo, el diario apunta que el Milan podría verse favorecido por el hecho de que el Real Madrid ya haya reforzado su equipo con el francés Karim Benzema y el Barcelona siga de cerca al jugador del Valencia David Villa, por lo que Fabiano "no cuenta con grandes pretendientes en este momento".

Hace unos días el agente del brasileño, José Fuentes, aseguró que "el jugador aceptaría de buena gana jugar en el Milan", aunque precisó que todavía no había recibido oferta alguna del club milanés.

sevilla won't sell for anything less than 25m euros, they are a very difficult club to buy from and will try and squeeze out every penny they can get for him, especially after he just finished as top scorer at the confed cup

They can always take Huntelaar for €20m

I agree Del Nido isn't going to let him walk away for nothing. Like TM says, they should go for Huntelaar.

Güiza must be miserable in Turkey...he's willing to take a pay cut in order to join Atletico?

http://www.marca.com/2009/07/02/futbol/equipos/atletico/1246547674.html

They pay handsome (net) wages in Turkey. Another country where footballers get exceptional treatment when it comes to paying taxes.

But Turkey isn't EU though.

villarreal are interested in negredo and Pavlyuchenko to replace nihat

I can see him becoming another Mista.

AS reporting that Villarreal have signed Iván Marcano from Racing. Great signing for them. Marcano-Gonzalo could be a great pairing in the centre of defence. Also gives them an alternative for Capdevila at LB.

Just checked and it's on the Villarreal website as well.

Iván Marcano, nuevo fichaje del Villarreal CF

El Villarreal CF y el Real Racing Club de Santander han llegado a un principio acuerdo –a falta de la revisión médica- por el traspaso de Iván Marcano, quien pasará a pertenecer a la entidad amarilla para las próximas seis temporadas. El futbolista será presentado mañana a las 13.00 horas en el Estadio El Madrigal, donde realizará la rueda de prensa correspondiente.

Marcano acaba de cumplir los 22 años el 23 de junio y es una de las jóvenes promesas del fútbol español, habiendo sido ya internacional con la Sub-21 en el Campeonato Europeo. Es un defensa central zurdo con gran potencial físico (mide 1,89m), que también tiene la posibilidad de jugar como lateral izquierdo por su despliegue. Marcano se ha formado en las categorías inferiores del conjunto cántabro, con el que debutó en el filial en la Temporada 2005-2006 y, dos años después, hizo su estreno en la máxima categoría (2007-2008). En la última campaña disputó 35 partidos y marcó dos goles.

villarreal are a very clever club excellently ran club as well, you can't help but like them

Yeah he is exactly the type of purchase that I expect from them. They and Sevilla are both very shrewd clubs.

El Atlético sueña con Pirlo

El Atlético ha pensado en Pirlo para reforzar su centro del campo. El Milan ha declarado transferible al centrocampista y es una opción que gusta mucho en el club rojiblanco, que además daría a su hinchada una razón para ilusionarse. La operación es complicada, porque el Atlético necesitaría primero vender a alguno de sus futbolistas y hacer caja, y por lo tanto se necesitaría la paciencia del futbolista.

El Milan ha tasado al jugador en 18 millones de euros, pero el Atlético trataría de rebajar su precio. Desde Italia se afirma que el club rossonero ya ha rechazado una oferta del Chelsea y, lo más importante, que el propio Pirlo ha declarado a su entorno que quiere jugar en España.

El internacional italiano cumplió 30 años el pasado mes de mayo y pasaría a reforzar un puesto clave que ha dado quebraderos de cabeza al Atlético en las últimas campañas. Eso sí, para que se abra la puerta de entrada, antes tendría que abrirse la de salida, con gente como Maxi, Luis García o Pablo Ibáñez.

http://www.marca.com/2009/07/02/futbol/equipos/atletico/1246567157.html

I don't know whether I'd laugh or cry at the sight of Pirlo in an Atleti kit. I'd probably laugh though.

Could be a good move by Racing, the guy is talented.

He reminds me a lot of Garay in the sense that when he first came up a couple years ago he demonstrated a lot of potential but then he has kind of stagnated recently. Versatile defender, will help cover the loss of Marcano.

I don't think you can say he stagnated. They signed Navarro and simply forgot about him. I'd would have like to have seen more of him at right-back when they were playing, the awful, Mosquera.

What I meant is that for a period Crespo looked like he was going to break into the Sevilla side, he'd done very well at the Mundial Sub-20 and then he seemed to fall out of favour - like you say, Navarro was signed for the left and then when Dani Alves went they preferred Konko or Mosquera on the right.
