European Transfer Rumours

European Transfer Rumours

What transfer rumours have you read/heard?

Which players do you want your club to sign?

Who do you think might leave your club?

Rosenberg (Ajax) to Lyon ..

Tevez to Barcelona=Gudjohnsen to West Ham
Due to the Icelandic consortium taking over....

Marcelo On Way To Madrid?

Fluminense full-back Marcelo could be on the verge of joining Real Madrid, if reports in Spain are to be believed.

The Brazilian is in high demand with Sevilla ready to hand over 6 million euros up front for the player.

Real’s offer is believed to be the same, but the payments would be staggered.

However, Marcelo’s desire to move to the Bernabeu could be the deciding factor.

A Real source told AS: "The key is the boy wants to come to Madrid. Nobody can break his will. There are better offers , but the boy has his heart set on Madrid."

A deal appears close after negotiations between the clubs yesterday.

Seen by some as an eventual replacement for Roberto Carlos, Marcelo could immediately be loaned out in January as he does not hold a European passport.

Milan and Inter were also said to be interested in the 18-year-old who could be presented as early as Monday by Real.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this moment it looks like Real Madrid will sign Marcelo and Gago in Jan.

Would you be happy with that move Deano?

Its not as if Tevez is doing much for you at present.
Maybe you should try and get a little loany for Iniesta as well

Ronaldo to Barça in December.

Fat chance...

Which one?

We are apparently interested in Yohann Pele who is a French keeper that plays his football for Le Mans.

Don't know much about him, although Wengers record with keepers is not the best.

Really?

Pele is supposedly quality stuff

Must have missed that rumour, where was it from?

Le Mans have admitted that Arsenal are interested in goalkeeper Yohann Pele though they have yet to make a bid.

Arsene Wenger has been keeping tabs on the 24-year-old for over a year and apparently sees him as the natural successor to Jens Lehmann.

And Daniel Jeandupex, the assistant to Le Mans president Henri Legarda, has confirmed that the Gunners are the favourites to sign the highly-rated shotstopper.

"We know Arsenal is still attracted but they have not sent any formal offer yet," he declared.

"Other European sides are also following him but it is not the same story.

"Anyway it is out of the question to talk about a transfer before the end of the season."

Pele is currently sidelined with a broken foot and it is expected that the Gunners will try seal a deal for him in the summer or perhaps even in the January transfer window.

It is reported in other sources, but it is still very much a rumour.

Hes supposed to be really good from what Arnaud and a few other french posters have been saying anyhow

Bye bye Adriano, welcome King Toni!!

Nah, won't happen. Moratti will give Adri another chance. And the only acquisition we might make is a creative midfielder, but even if we don't, its cool.

Atletico Linked With Quaresma, they need some wingers after the injuries they have had.

I would...In the sense that
1)Tevez wont be at West Ham when MSI fail in their takeover bid
2)Gudjohnsen is proven in the prem and I think hes a class player anyway

Read this on the Lyon's web site. How good is he?


Rumors:

In: Hilguain and Marcello to Lyon
Out: Abidal to Juve (but I really don't think so coz they refuse to sell us Camo and Trezeguet).

Whats your views on him?

I heard Hilguain could be to milan! And Alexia from Getafe is being followed by Milan!

Hilguain has also been linked to Man Utd - I think hes being linked to everyone to be honest.

He was linked to Chelsea yesterday

Yup, AS has been running stories yesterday and today that Real Madrid will sign Higuain in January.

Sevilla and Madrid to battle for Marcelo (Brazilian LB) in Jan.

Abidal to Barca next summer.

oh, and once again the Madrid are after KAKA', please leave him a lone, he is Milan's

I'd love to have him but truthfully, I think it is a better idea to find out "own" Kaka. Milan don't want to sell him, he seems happy there so let's move on.

Torres from Atletico Madrid to Chelsea in January, with SWP going the other way in a part exchange deal. Seems Atletico need a winger, and Chelsea need a 4th Striker to complete the Sheva,Drog, Kalou, Torres dream team

No bids for Higuain Thursday 9 November, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

River Plate have not received any offer for Milan target Gonzalo Higuain according to the club’s Vice-President Domingo Diaz.

The 18-year-old Argentine, who also has a French passport, has been paired with a move to several of Europe’s biggest clubs, with the Rossoneri, Real Madrid and Chelsea all interested.

Rossoneri transfer guru Ariedo Braida is currently in South America as he searches for January transfer targets.

But the latest reports in Spain suggest that Real have reached an agreement with River Plate, while Chelsea allegedly made a £8.5m offer for Higuain, whose contract ends in June.

“I have been asked what I think about an £8.5m offer presented by Chelsea, but I have no information about this and I haven’t even heard that they intend to make a bid,” said Diaz.

“River Plate want to keep the player at least until June 2007, this is our intention and at the time being we have not received offers from any club.

“If we should receive an official request which could be important for the club, then we will sit down at a table and discuss it.

“However, I do not want to make any comments until there is something certain to talk about,” concluded the official.

Former Fiorentina and Inter defender Daniel Passarella considers the player to be the new Thierry Henry



Milan monitor Alexis Thursday 9 November, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milan are interested in signing Getafe defender Alexis Ruano, according to the Spanish club’s chief Angel Torres.

The 21-year-old joined the Primera Liga side in the summer from Malaga, where he grew up in the youth team, and has impressed in Bernd Schuster’s team.

He hit the headlines after scoring the winner against Real Madrid in October, although he has been sidelined in the past few weeks after suffering an injury against Recreativo.

“Milan are following Alexis, who is a phenomenon,” said Torres. “You mustn’t forget that the Italian club had already tried to sign him when he was 16-years-old.

“Getafe is a club where the President presides, the Coach coaches and the players play," concluded Torres, referring to claims he was interfering with his Coach’s plans.

Pele is a very good goalkeeper. Good prospect for the future. Can he replace Lehman at Arsenal? Not now for sure. He needs to get some experience first

Higuaín is liverpool bound

It seems that Higuain is everywhere bound

I can see him go a bit everywhere, in particularly Spain (language and style of play) or France to get experience (and his mom's French). Wonder if he's going to choose the French or Argentinian nationality? Should be French according to his parents

Rumour has it we have an agreement with River for Higuain ...

I read in the gazzetta dello sport that he likes milan! We will have to wait and see who wins the battle for him!

Caraciollo to Sampdoria/Chievo
