January Transfer Rumours 3

AC Milan are thought to have enquired about Newcastle United’s Tim Krul.

With the Rossoneri looking to freshen up their goalkeeping line-up in the summer, as Christian Abbiati is out of contract and Marco Amelia isn’t seen as suitable successor, it seems Krul has come to their attention.

According to Calciomercato.com, when Milan were looking for clarification on Davide Santon’s situation with the Magpies, they also asked about the availability of Krul.

However, the valuation of €12 million by the English side was deemed too high by the Milan hierarchy, though they are said to be willing to have further negotiations in the summer.

Krul is under contract with Newcastle until June 2017 and has made 21 appearances in all competitions for the club.

We'll give you one of the Maldini kids, (Daniel) he's 10, got some nice skills . With a buyback clause ofc +we'll throw in one of Berlu's young birds, someone has to please Pardew if he's going to stay with you for 8 years

Also Mole I think you're overreacting mate...Once Goodbaye comes back and Cisse gets back into CF mode, you'll be fine - Probably wont make any huge waves, but you'll certainly survive

Goodbaye is back and Cisse did play CF ( Norwich) didn't change much

Pardew's insistence on hoofing to Cisse and expecting him to outmuscle the mighty Bassong

Any updates on the Remy transfer?

Apparently he's having a medical with QPR.

Atalanta winger Matias Ezequiel Schelotto is rumored to be close to completing his switch to Inter following his latest tweet.

The 23 year old Italian-Argentine tweeted, ‘’Good morning everyone, first day at my new home in Como’’.

Although Como is not exactly near Milan, reports suggest both parties are keen to finalize the deal, with €2 million separating the sides.

La Dea value the former Cesena player at €7 million but the Nerazzurri’s offer, which includes half of Marko Livaja’s ownership, is worth only €5 million.

Nevertheless, the deal is expected to go through within the end of the transfer window.

I read somewhere yesterday that they were willing to pay him 100k per week. Is there any substance behind this or is it just twitter talk?

He's getting paid 80k a week with a very low release clause should they go down.

When.....(hopefully)

As Carlos Aranda refuses to play for Real Zaragoza, there’s a new twist to the January transfer window merry-go-round, as they set their sights on Nolito.

Earlier this afternoon, Real Zaragoza issued a strong statement, following the refusal of Carlos Aranda to play for the team, amidst emotional issues and a verbal agreement for a move to Granada CF.

There’s an additional twist to this tale however, as another Granada CF target, Benfica forward Nolito, is now close to sealing a deal with Real Zaragoza, according to his representatives.

Following enquiries from Granada CF and Real Betis, last week Nolito’s agent had suggested that Granada was the preferred destination of the player. Today however, he’s told Spanish press that Nolito “has a foot and a half in the door” at Real Zaragoza.

Whilst there’s been a shortage of movement in the domestic transfer market in Spain this January so far, compared to previous seasons, it’s interesting to note that several clubs are jostling for many of the same targets.

Many of the more modest clubs are all in the hunt for forwards and strikers, therefore it’s inevitable that the lines of enquiry of these clubs will cross paths.

Having struggled to command a place in the starting eleven at Benfica this season, it has been made common knowledge – not least by his agent – that Nolito is looking for a way out of the Portuguese club and to someone who can offer him a starting role.

The former Barcelona cantera product is keen on a return to La Liga, with several clubs having shown a strong interest, although there has also been interest from other clubs around Europe, including some in the English Premier League.

With the quantity of interest being reported, the story of his destination could be strung along, right to transfer deadline day. The transfer merry-go-round continues to revolve at an increasing speed.

Manchester United target James Rodriguez is wanted by Juventus, according to reports in Italy and Portugal.

The Porto playmaker has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford, with United scouts regularly watching the 21-year-old in action this season.
And it had been thought the Red Devils would make a summer move for the Colombian, who could be a replacement for Nani if the Portuguese leaves the club.

But A Bola have claimed the Italian champions are ready to make the first move for the talented youngster.
And it could come down to which club is prepared to meet Rodriguez's release clause, which currently stands at £38m.

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

Newcastle target Massadio Haidara says he wants to join Roma rather than head to St James' Park.

The Nancy full-back has been linked with a switch to Newcastle, where he would join the growing French contingent under Alan Pardew.
But the 20-year-old says he would rather move to Serie A and he sees his future in Italy.

"I would prefer to move to Roma as I like the Italian league more," Haidara told tuttomercatoweb.com.
"Newcastle are a good team but I want to play in Italy. My agent has spoken to both teams, but I want to go to Italy."

Atletico Madrid could be targeting a move for Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez, according to reports.

Terra believe that the capital club are sounding out a move for the Mexican forward with Radamel Falcao looking ever more likely to leave Vicente Calderon.

The Colombian goalscorer has been linked with transfers to Real Madrid, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, and it seems as if Diego Simeone's team are resigned to losing their marksman.

And as such see the 24-year-old as the ideal replacement for 'El Tigre'.

A bid of around €16m could be enough to prize Chicarito away from Old Trafford, who has scored 44 goals for the Premier League side since his arrival in 2010.

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

Newspaper La Nazione has claimed that Roma are interested in Fiorentina full-back Mattia Cassani.

The Italian international has struggled for playing time in Vincenzo Montella’s 3-5-2 tactical set-up, starting only four times thus far in the campaign.

Cassani could in turn be ripe for a move before the transfer window closes in search of a more stable, consistent situation.

Sampdoria and former employers Palermo were originally thought to be those angling for his signature, but Roma now appear to have entered the race.

Giallorossi right-back Ivan Piris left Sunday’s match with Catania with an injury early in the second half, a development which may have contributed to the capital club’s reported interest.

According to reliable source @JohnFerreira92 Newcastle target ASSE striker Aubameyang (not a surprise) and MHSC defender Yanga Mbiwa. #NUFC

Loic who? won't happen though

Mbiwa is looking at Milan, Man U or Arsenal... pretty sure he would refuse anyone else unless Barca come knocking. Nicolin told him he would be sold in the summer and he extended with that understanding. He won't be moved until then.

Aubameyang told l'equipe today he's staying until the summer. http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Aubameyang-mes-6-derniers-mois/342617

Tbf what players say mean nothing, especially during the window.

It won't happen though as we are cheap bastards.

Go for Yoann Gouffran mate. You won't regret it. Cisse gets to play ST and you get a winger/forward who has a great eye for goal and is creative.

Can't see Mbiwa going to Newcastle. They should try for Abdennour

Aubemyang is a fantastic player. I rate Remy but rate Aubemyang as a superior due to his excellent skill set. Without offending you mole I doubt he will want to leave as St.Etiene is another big club who are playing some excellent football with a bright future so it'll be hard to pry him away.

He also is a pure Milan product

I don't see pretty big clubs in Ligue 1 like Toulouse, St Etienne or Bordeaux selling players unless they have backups in mind or the money is just too good. You also have expiring contracts.

Debuchy was gone once Digne really emerged. They could afford a lesser player on the other side. Sissoko's contract ends this summer. Remy was a backup with high wages. Rennes need the money and M'Vila was going to fetch the highest price.

Winter mercato is typically a terrible time to go after French players.

Gouffran is available. Gomis and Lisandro as well. Abdennour.... no way he's being let go. He's too critical.

Lol no offense we are in a shit situation and quite frankly i expect nothing.

Even if these players wanted to come Ashley would rather get relegated than the pay the prices necessary to get them.

Mole gloating about how Newcastle "beat" Inter to sign Debuchy

Dat karma

I never gloated, you just laughed at the prospect of us beating you to Remy so i used that as an example of why it shouldn't be that cut and dry....

Vibe putting his foot in his mouth as per usual

This was after you signed Debuchy,has nothing to do with Remy.

Desperate Moal is desperate

Gets worse for the jawdee nation

Apparently Krul is on his way now.

Butland will be replacement

Talk Colochinis contract will be terminated tomorow

Sky Sources: Newcastle have made a bid for Nancy defender Massadio Haidara

Gotta love it

Need a forward and a CB in the very least and we go out and put an offer in for a young LB

BeIN Sport report this evening that Newcastle boss Alan Pardew and his scouting team have targeted two players: St Etienne striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Montpellier defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa



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


Roma appear to be edging even closer to striking a deal with Nancy left-back Massadio Haidara, even despite foreign competition.

The 20 year-old Frenchman has made public his desire to play in Italy, a predilection which could give the capital club a crucial edge over fellow suitors Newcastle in negotiations.

“I prefer Roma to Newcastle, as I prefer Serie A,” Haidara said to TMW.

“I’d love to play in Italy, though Newcastle are also a good team. I know that my agent has spoken to both clubs, we’ll see what happens.

“As far as I am concerned, I’d love to play in Italy.”

The France U-21 international is thought to be worth approximately €5 million. French football journalist Johann Crochet has claimed that Nancy’s willingness to sell is motivated by the need for a cash injection.
