Fc Barcelona Transfer Update 2008
Sponsored Links:
OK, so your a little confused on what is exactly happening at
FC BARCELONA, don´t worry, so is everyone else. The Club is
a hive of vicious rumours, speculations & "lies" as all the interested
parties are positioning themselves into a strong bargaining
position.
SFS, in its humble manner (I am not a professional sports journalist)
will attempt to clear some of the smoke, with the help of what´s
doing the rounds in our local press.
What is 100%, is that coach Frank Rijkaard will leave & ex-player
Pep Guardiola will coach the team next season, his assistant is
rumour to be another ex-player Luis Enrique...OK fine up to this
point.
What is also 100% is that Portugues International midfielder DECO
is also leaving, as announced by the player yesterday, after the Club
looked favourably for him to look elsewhere. Possible next stop? If
Mourinho finally lands at INTER , it´s a good bet Deco will follow.
Camaroon International & star forward SAMUEL ETO´O, is said by
"Mundo Deportivo" & "Sport", to also have his Clubs OK to find a new
team after the player expressed his discontent & desire for a new
"stimulant" elsewhere. This has made Clubs come running to knock on
his door, specially at this moment, TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS & INTER
MILAN, with the former offering 33M€ & having its President - Daniel
Levy - fly in next week to Barcelona to push hard. The only handicap? That
Tottenham will not be in Champions next season, so Eto´o may wait around
to check out clamly all the possible offers.
What is 100% is that RONALDINHO will not be with Barça next
season. The Club has a 25M€ offer on the table from AC MILAN &
has given its OK for negotiations to come to a happy end, according
to daily "Sport". There was a 30M€ offer from Manchester City, but
Ronaldinho rejected the offer to play there. Therefore, it´s a question
of time before an official announcement will take place between the
Brazilian & AC Milan.
Possible Incorporations:
DANI ALVES (Sevilla FC) - negotiations advanced & looks very likely
KEITA (Sevilla FC) - seen as the substitute for Deco. May pay directly
his 15M€ contract release clause, no need to negotiate with his club.
PIQUE (Manchester Utd) - done deal, signed
COLOCCINI (Deportivo) - rumour, to fill in for injuried Gabi Milito
JARQUE (Espanyol) - rumour, not real basis.
RODRIGO PALACIOS (Boca Juniors) - apparently a done deal.
XAVI ALONSO (Liverpool FC) - long time spectulation
SILVA (Valencia) - apparently talking
BENZAMA (Lyon) - high price, very difficult
ADEBAYOR (Arsenal) - Arsenal will not let go, very difficult
RIBERY y LUCA TONI (B.Munich) - speculation, NO real substance
DANI GUIZA (Mallorca) - if above forwards fail, could be option
Hope this helps, you know as much as SFS! Stay tuned!
