Transfer Rumors 2013 – Manchester United Interested in Phil Jagielka
It seems that this summer will be the one in which every half decent Everton player will be linked with a move to Manchester United. After Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini have already been mentioned, Phil Jagielka is the next one to enter the rumor mill.

Fabio Coentrao is the Stupidest Player Real Madrid Have
It might have been an honest mistake, but it seems some of the Real Madrid players weren’t that surprised that Fabio Coentrao showed up on the bench before their match against Espanyol even though he wasn’t in the squad, as Iker Casillas, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo had a good laugh at his expense.

Chelsea FC – Rafa Benitez is a Success
No titles yet for Rafa Benitez, but at least he made it out of the huge minefield that was trying to keep Chelsea in the top 4 club and qualify into the Champions League. His rough start meant there will be no Premier League title, but despite the lack of ownership support (as always at Stamford Bridge) and quite a lot of fans making their displeasure with him filling the position being heard, the “Spanish waiter” did quite a good job in keeping the ship on the right course, with a chance to add a European trophy to the cabinet.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Borussia Dortmund Getting Closer to Christian Eriksen
It’s been hard for quite some time, ever since the financial playing grounds changed for the worse on them, for Ajax to hang on to their best players. Christian Eriksen has been on the shortlist of many top European clubs for a few seasons now, but after winning his third Dutch title in three years, it seems that the approaches of Borussia Dortmund might finally tear him away from the club he has been with since the age of 16.

Lionel Messi Won’t Be Part of the Barcelona Garbage Time
It’s so rare to have Lionel Messi start and play an entire La Liga match for Barcelona without scoring even once, but at this stage of the season, with the title officially secured, what’s the point? Tito Vilanova didn’t ask too much of his players, who some of them, like Alexis Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas, need to show in the final moments that they deserve to be entrusted with his faith for next season, but they delivered three more points anyway, as Messi played his final match before he officially begins his summer vacation.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Ruins the Perfection of Alex Ferguson Leaving
Going against the club and especially against Alex Ferguson never earns a player too much adoration from the fans, but it was weird to hear so many boos for Wayne Rooney as he was walking over to pick up yet another Premier League winners’ medal, possibly his last with Manchester United.

Liverpool FC – Philippe Coutinho & Daniel Sturridge Look Like They’re Having Fun
Too little, and probably late as well. If Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho would have been playing for Liverpool since the start of the season, maybe things would have ended differently. A couple of spots higher in the table and European football next season. There’s plenty of promise to a side that has looked depressed at times during the campaign, and missed out on a happier finish for it.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Liverpool Now Interested in Lucas Digne
It seems that the media are persistent in attaching Liverpool to left backs from France. The next one on the list? Lucas Digne, a 19-year old who has been playing for Lille over the last couple of seasons and for the France U-19 side.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Arsenal & Tottenham Interested in Christian Benteke
It seems Arsenal and Tottenham aren’t only battling for a spot in the Champions League next season. They’ll also be battling it out for the right to sign Christian Benteke, the only good thing about Aston Villa this season, with his departure looking closer and closer as his team takes another step towards relegation.

Transfer Rumors 2013 – Real Madrid & Possible Mega Move for Neymar
While Neymar is constantly saying he’s not going anywhere before the end of the 2014 World Cup, business keeps moving around him, and not the kind he is likely to refuse. The next big rumor about the Brazilian phenom? With Santos unable to sign him on an extension, they’ll be selling him this summer, and Real Madrid are looking to be the ones who reach the prize first, potentially spending €100 million on him.
