Summer Transfer Rumours Mk.III

Suarez is a better player imo

And Cavani is more complete imo.

even that is not accurate, he is a better goalscorer, and that's about it.

I just don't understand what line of logic the Uraguay coach is using sticking Cavani on the wing when Suarez actually has the tools and has enjoyed considerable success there,

It's stupid.

Suarez and Cavani both have somewhere around 50 caps for Uruguay and on every one of those 50 games Suarez has looked more complete than Cavani, I don't know where you are coming from McLewis?? And that's not even bringing club level into the equation.



I won't comment on who is better, let you guys decide for yourselves.

@JamesHorncastle: De Laurentiis. "On Cavani, there's interest from Chelsea. They'll call me in the next few hours."

Better than Verm tbh but yeah it is a joke.

Would be an excellent 3rd choice but is too loyal to leave Toon.

According to reports in France, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo could be Paris St Germain’s top two targets for the summer transfer window. L’Equipe claims that PSG have offered Real Madrid’s Ronaldo an €18 million-a-year contract, while they are also monitoring Rooney’s situation at Manchester United.

Italian sports magazine, Tuttonapoli, are reporting today that former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is considering a bid to snatch Pepe Reina from the Reds this summer.

Benitez has signed a two-year deal to take over at the Serie A club, following his stint as interim manager at Chelsea.

The Italian media report that Benitez is keen on bringing Reina in to replace Napoli’s current first choice goalkeeper Morgan De Sanctis.

Malaga and Atletico Madrid are reportedly just a step away from confirming the transfer of midfielder Jeremy Toulalan.

The Frenchman has long been linked with Los Colchoneros, with his current employers also recently reported as prepared to ship him out amid a wholesale change to their playing squad.

Reports today are that both clubs are finalising the remaining details of the 29-year-old’s transfer.

A fee of €5m has been agreed and the only obstacle remaining is in the two parties agreeing on Atleti’s form of payment.

Barcelona are reportedly decided on Marc-Andre ter Stegen as their replacement for Victor Valdes, with a verdict now due on when to sign him.

Valdes looks set to stay on at the Camp Nou for the final year of his contract which, in deciding not to renew, will then see him depart in June 2014.

Linked with Valencia’s Vicente Guaita and Liverpool’s Pepe Reina, Barca have reportedly decided that Borussia Monchengladbach’s rising talent Ter Stegen is their first choice.

Sport say that the club’s decision now is on what they decide is best for the 21-year-old’s development next season.

Barca are reportedly ready to purchase the player this summer, but are split on whether it is then best to allow him to stay with his Bundesliga club for another year on loan where he is guaranteed first team football, or if he comes to Barcelona to learn for a year under Valdes.

Ter Stegen is valued at €15m, whilst Monchengladbach’s sporting director is adamant that he will not be leaving.

“Ter Stegen has told various media that he will stay in Monchengladbach so we do not need to add any more,” Max Eberl told Sky Sport Germany.

PSV striker Jeremain Lens to the EPL?

"I long for the next step," the 25-year-old told Voetbal International. "I think the time has come to prove myself at the highest level every week.

"I'm 25, I have played in the Eredivisie for seven and it's time for a step forward. I think my style of play fits perfect in England.

"I have no transfer clause in my contract, but if there is a nice club I expect no problems.

"PSV would grant me a move abroad. Otherwise, next year they could be left facing an unpleasant situation"

"Moreover, I will not go to a competition where I could not get into the Dutch team."

The former AZ forward also revealed he was offered a move to Southampton last season, but is hoping to secure a switch to a more illustrious club 12 months on.

"Southampton was the only option abroad and I didn't want to leave PSV," he explained. "I expect that other clubs will make a move this summer and I hope to be able to choose.

"There are many rumors and they are regularly reported, but at the moment there is still nothing concrete. I would not have expected any. The transfer market has yet to begin."

Corinthians want 20m Euros for Paulinho.

"Paulinho has so many clubs interested in him," the club's deputy director Duilio Monteiro Alves told Fox Sports Radio.

"Concrete proposals have not arrived. What we have been reading about is just speculation.

“I said it would be difficult to retain the player. Corinthians, however, do not need to sell. For this reason we have set an asking price of €20m, he will not be sold for anything less."

AC Milan are looking at signing Javier Pastore from Paris Saint Germain this summer.

The Argentinian helped his side win the Ligue 1 title this season but could be set for a return to Italy.

Tuttomercatoweb claims Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani will make a loan offer with the right to purchase.

The 23 year-old told Chi magazine last year that he would win something in Paris before considering moving on.

The news comes as reports indicate Milan are preparing to return to a 4-3-1-2 formation to accommodate a trequartista.

According to El Mundo Deportivo, Atletico de Madrid are no longer in talks with Sevilla FC 27 year old forward Alvaro Negredo, who has already agreed to a move to Napoli.

I'd take Lens all day long tbh, mind you it didn't take much to be a winger and look good to me considering who our current crop of shit is.

Gervais would look like Figo in my eyes because of the shit i'm used to ffs

Javier Pastore, Montolivo, and De Jong

Not sure if they can afford him unless PSG sell cheap.

Mr Nick09 wrote:even that is not accurate, he is a better goalscorer, and that's about it.

He's complete in that he's quick, an aerial threat, technical with the ball at his feet and in the pass, can link up well with highly intelligent off-the-ball movement and has a high work rate, often helping out defensively.

Suarez has many of those characteristics, but there are 2 specifically that he lacks glaringly. Ergo, Cavani is the better player for me and the one I would choose every time for my team. That's not a knock on Suarez tbh.

We wont get Pastore

Ben Hayward ‏@bghayward 3m
Isco to stay? RT @ANAALThani What are these myths that they give some people we are going to sell our players Actually words of imagination

Interesting

Portuguese paper A Bola report today that Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Benfica defender Ezequiel Garay.

Long rumoured to be heading to Old Trafford, Garay could well be new Manchester United boss David Moyes’ first signing.

A Bola suggest that a 20 million euro bid for Garay will be submitted this week which covers the release clause of the 26-year-old Argentine defender.

Benfica are keen to get as much money as possible for the highly-rated centre back since half of any fee received will be paid to Garay’s previous club Real Madrid.

Julian of Martinis ‏@JulianDM11 45s
Whoa, missed this before from DeLa: "I offered 40m for Lamela and Marquinhos. Then I saw there are many defenders like Marquinhos out there"

He's either trolling or he's a comedian

20 millions for garay, 10 millions for us, we pay ronaldo wages

that's as close as utd will get to paying Ronaldo

wait, Ronaldo is getting a 10M raise? For what? He's already rich, you guys should use that money for another signing/reinforcements

halamadrid2 wrote:Hulk confirms Mou is after him

More on that:


Brazil striker Hulk has admitted there is some truth in reports linking him with a big-money move to Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho has reportedly made a £35million move for the Zenit St Petersburg star but the Russian club are said to want closer to the almost £50m they paid Porto in 2012.

Mourinho, who returned as Chelsea manager this week, is also thought to be close to a deal for Bayer Leverkusen forward Andre Schurrle.

However, Hulk could be another man on the Stamford Bridge club's list of targets and the player has always appeared keen on a move to the Premier League.

Hulk is currently getting ready for the Confederations Cup with Brazil but, amid the speculation of Chelsea's bid, he is quoted as saying by Globo Esporte: "If I said there was not anything in it, I would be lying.

"But that is not for now. I am 100 per cent focused on the national team at the moment.

"I came to wear this [Brazil] shirt with pride. My family and my friends are following me. I hope to win the Confederations Cup."

Inter sporting director Marco Branca is keen to sign Sporting Lisbon defender Marcos Rojo according to reports out of Portugal.

The 23-year-old Argentine moved to Sporting Lisbon last season from Russian side Spartak Moscow, and could leave the Portuguese side for a fee close to €7 million this summer.

Rojo can play as a centre-back as well as left-back. O Jogo report that Inter could move for the youngster in an attempt to secure an heir to the ageing Walter Samuel.
