  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Liverpool Get to Keep Daniel Agger?

    The club and reporters suggest one thing, the player says something else. Daniel Agger has been chased by Manchester City over the last couple of weeks, seeing three bids for him rejected by his club, Liverpool. Sources implied that Agger asked Rodgers to leave, but the Denmark captain says he wants to say at Anfield, but it may not be up to him.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Juventus Closing in on Fernando Llorente

    The 4-2 win over Napoli in the Italian Super Cup wasn’t enough to ease the minds of the Juventus sporting directors, adamant to add another striker to the mix before the season begins. It seems that Fernando Llorente of Athletic Bilbao is the man closest to being the new front man for the Bianconeri, while Javi Martinez is getting closer and closer to Bayern Munich.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Chelsea After Edinson Cavani

    Is a striker Chelsea’s most immediate need? Probably not. But that isn’t stopping them from pursuing one of Europe’s best over the last couple of seasons, Edinson Cavani of Napoli. Like others the club has sought after this summer, Cavani seems like quite a long shot.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Arsenal & Manchester United Chasing Isco

    Transfer Rumors 2012 – Arsenal & Manchester United Chasing Isco

    Malaga aren’t done with their clearance sale, and 20 year old Francisco Román Alarcón Suárez, aka Isco, seems to be the next name Premier League teams are chasing, as Manchester United and their mountains of cash just waiting to be spent join Arsenal in their chase after the Spain U-23 midfielder.

  • Hulk – Ready to Leave Porto and Join Chelsea

    Maybe it was all about waiting for the Olympic tournament to be over, so he can fully concentrate on bringing a gold medal back to Brazil. Hulk had a good tournament, but failed at the finish line, losing to Mexico 1-2 in the final. Now he feels ready to move on, leave Porto and join a Premier League team, probably Chelsea.

  • Tottenham Looking for Goalkeeprs – Julio Cesar? Hugo Lloris?

    Trying to keep Luka Modric isn’t all the Tottenham are doing this summer. Chasing goalkeepers, feeling that reliable yet not too extraordinary Brad Friedel, already 41, is also part of the off-season. Hugo Lloris seems unreachable and too expensive, but Julio Cesar isn’t.

  • FC Barcelona – Alex Song Coming or Not?

    Again with Barcelona, again another Arsenal player. This time no one with an actual connection to the club. “Just” Alex Song, the 24 year old Cameroonian midfielder, who’s mostly been talked about by several Barca players, which means that despite all of Tito Vilanova’s denials, they’re probably planning to make a bid for the player.

  • Manchester United – Still Chasing Robin van Persie

    It’s been relatively quiet on the Van Persie front in recent days. He never announced anything, but the Dutch striker seems to be happy with the way things are going in Arsenal and their signings (and future ones) this summer, which hasn’t stopped Manchester United from trying to sign the Premier League’s top scorer last season.

  • Athletic Bilbao – Hanging on to Fernando Llorente & Javi Martinez

    The two most sought after Spanish player this summer both come from the same club that isn’t in the business of selling their players, despite the big offers. Fernando Llorente and Javi Martinez have both made an impression on Europe’s biggest clubs over the last couple of years, but Athletic Bilbao are still trying to hold on to the Spanish internationals.

  • Real Madrid – No More Luka Modric, Just Axel Witsel

    The Luka Modric ordeal is nearly over, with no real resolution. Real Madrid made a final €30 million ‘take it or leave it’ offer to Tottenham and were rejected once again, which will now probably turn their full attention to Benfica’s Belgian midfielder, Axel Witsel.
