Jerome Boateng could be joining Bayern Munchen. He`s keen on moving to Bayern and getting the chance to finally play as a CB. There is an agreement between the player and the club for a 4-year contract, but now it`s down to City to negociate with Bayern on good terms and seal the transfer

AC. Milan targeting Hamsik.

Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik is pleased with the growing number of rumours linking him with a move to AC Milan, but maintains his current club will have the final say over his future.
Italian reports have pictured the 23-year-old as a €30 million target for the champions, who have released playmaker Andrea Pirlo.

Liverpool and Spurs set to fight for Aston Villa keeper Freidel. The 39 year old's contract will expire in the summer which will allow him to transfer to any club for free. Villa are keen to hold on to the American who is set to announce his decision next week.
I don't know why Liverpool want him unless he's for a back up but for Spurs I could understand.

I'm not suprised with the speculation for Spurs. Freidel is a consistent goalkeeper with no nonsense. Something Spurs could really use

I don't know why he should go it's not like he's going to get any playing time
Pedrosanchez (Liverpool) 2 years ago
I have no idea what Harry Redknapp was thinking here, signed another gk who seems just not good enough for a top 4 club, if he's aiming to improve the club this transfer season this seems like a foolish signing. Too old. Used to be very good. But really, why would any club need 3 average keepers? Wasnt 2 enough?

Mancini wants Ibrahimovic

Link: www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6926554,00.h...

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini could attempt to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer as he builds a squad for the UEFA Champions League.

Ibrahimovic is currently on loan at Serie A champions AC Milan from Barcelona and the Swede has said he wants to stay at the San Siro, but a City bid of around £20million could change the situation.


Zlatan94310 (PSG) 2 years ago
That could be interesting (if tevez leaves), I`m quite surprised with the £20m bid considering Ibrahimovic`s good season at Ac. Milan and his actual price tag.
Technically, if he joins City, he`ll surely bring some more firepower. The EPL would perfectly suit Ibra
FootyRulz (Chelsea) 2 years ago
Looks like Tevez will be on the move and unless Dzeko and Balotelli step up City may have to sign another "top class" striker

Man United are set to make Dutch keeper Maarten Stekelenburg their next target in the summer transfer window. The Red devils are looking to find a replacement for current goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar who will retire at the end of the season and they see Stekelenburg as a good option for a 1st choice keeper next season after their original number one target, Schalke's Manuel Neuer made it clear that he wouldn't be joining united in the summer. However Ajax want to hold on to their number one keeper and it looks like Man united may have to pay more than 15m to secure his services.

Good signing for United. Stekelenburg is a very good keeper, composed, safe and strong mentally. I like the influence he has on his defenders as well as his determination. A pure product of Ajax youth system who had a very good World Cup 2010 with Holland.
I`m sure he`ll do great at United

Well looks like all the speculation over his future is over. I hope he does well will Real Madrid and become one of their successful signings
HangTime (Chelsea) 2 years ago
Isn't 10m kinda cheap?
Zlatan94310 (PSG) 2 years ago
Sahin is going to be a good signing for Real Madrid, this season he has been excellent with Borussia, he definitely has the potential to succeed at Madrid

Real Madrid set to sign Espanyol's Jose Callejon.
Highly rated winger Jose Callejon could be on his way out of La Liga outfit Espanyol at the end of the season as Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid have shown a serious interest in signing the winger.

The Whites are already planning for the next campaign, and head coach Jose Mourinho is eager to add some more depth to this front-line this summer.

The 24-year-old Callejon is reportedly Madrid's primary objective on the summer transfer market and the Santiago Bernabeu side are believed to already have held talks with both Espanyol and Callejon. Madrid are willing to pay a fee in the region of €5 million for the versatile attacker and the deal could be completed by the end of this month.

Callejon is a product of the Real Madrid youth academy, but he never managed to secure regular first team action at Madrid. Therefore, he opted to leave the club for Espanyol in 2008. A return to his boyhood club now seems to be on the cards as Callejon has impressed Madrid with good performances for the Catalans.

God I hate Real.... They just buy and buy and keep failing. When are they going to realize they are ruining players and not achieving anything in the process. Greedy morons. I also hate the fact that team like Borussia sell half of their teams even though they got into champions league and have a huge support (wouldn't be surprised if Porto sell Falcao, Hulk, etc.)
Zlatan94310 (PSG) 2 years ago
I`m very curious about which players Real Madrid are going to sign this summer. Obviously the club`s objective is to be successful both in La Liga and In Europe. However, you cannot build a successful team/squad within a short period of time, it may take 2-3 years to build-up a very strong side that could really dominate and compete against the other Best Teams.
Real Madrid haven`t done that bad this season, they are a strong team, but the problem is that there is a better team at the moment.... Since the 5-0 loss against Barca, the merengue managed to respond and compete against them. Although, they only won 1 game out of the 4 classicos, the improvement and potential to exploit the quality of the team to its maximum is definitely there. Real Madrid should build their team around their key players. (Di Maria, Higuain, Ronaldo, Marcelo, Xavi Alonso, Kaka, Pepe-Carvalho, Casillas).
Out of the possible new signings, I personally think Sahin would fit in the team should he leaves Dortmund, even if the competition is strong in the midfield it`d be interesting

@Markodon: I feel the same way, if Dortmund sell their stars that helped them reach 1st in the German league then I doubt they will be able to defend their title next year
Markodon (NK Dinamo Zagreb) 2 years ago
Yeh, it makes me sad, I was anxious to see Dortmund in champions league, it's such a bright young team, but without Sahin they're not the same team anymore.

@Zlatan: you say they haven't done bad? Dude, they spent hundred of millions of euros (most of it from bank loans, they don't even have the money), buying a ridiculous amount of players. Do they really need Sahin? They have Ozil, Ronaldo, Kaka, Canales, Granero, etc. Why not use their talents instead of just buying any player that crosses their mind

Robben is willing to stay at Bayern, in spite of speculations about leaving the club at the end of the season.

"I intend to be honest towards the supporters of the club. It's a fact that I have never thought about moving on from Bayern Munich. "

Interesting stuff.... Will he keep his words?
Personally, I`m not seeing him playing for another club than Bayern. Robben has been awesome and consistent during the past few years, I guess stability is quite important, considering this situation
