Fabregas on heat list

Cesc Fabregas seems to be the hottest name on the transfers list. Barcelona’s offer of 36 million is very close to being exceeded. The new sum comes around on 41 million euro, an offer from a big club in Europe. AC Milan is ready to make a bid for Fabregas far superior to that of Barcelona.

Italians will provide 41 million euros (£ 35millions) for Arsenals captain, an amount very close to the one Arsenal asks for the player.

AC Milan’s interest is a serious one and the only hesitation of Fabregas in terms of transfer to Barca has always been the matter regarding a secure place in the first 11. At Milan, would not question especially after Pirlo’s departure to Juventus.

Fabregas is in the middle of a war between Arsenal and Barca, negotiations got Arsene Wenger very frustrated and not knowing if he can count on the player next season.

A close person to AC Milan said: “We watched closely the situation and we would be delighted if Fabregas will come here. And, of course, if the team will have the money to do seal the deal.”

German Cup full of surprises

The German Cup is one of the competitions with the highest number of surprises per season. The games are very equal , the teams are very close in value, so you can be sure that a game is won only after the final whistle, no matter the score.

After Wolfsburg which was eliminated by a team of amateurs in the same competition in the first round, came among another former champion of Germany to be humiliated.

Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 was the leading team in the match with Dynamo Dresden after Derdiyok, Sam and Schurrle’s goals taking the score to 3-0. But the opponent drew and scored the decisive goal in 117 minutes killing all hopes for Leverkusen. Dynamo Dresden is a team that just promoted from the second league in Germany.

This score is not a very positive one, taking in mind that is not the best way to start a championship, talking about the team morale. What will happen from now on will be catchy for the eye and I can say that this season of Bundesliga will be a disputed one.

Eto’o could break records

During the summer, all the mass media was talking about Barca, Real Madrid, Manchester transfers. But at the end of the transfer period, another team that is maybe unknown for many, could do the hit of the summer.

Anji Makhachkala, a Russian team offers 50 million euros for the purchase of the Cameroonian striker of Internazionale Milano, Samuel Eto’o, a rumor present in all the profile newspapers from Italy.

According to them, Anji Makhachkala would offer a contract for Eto’o for a period of three seasons with an astronomical salary of 20 million, which would make the transfer of Eto’o in Russia to cost 110 million euros in three years, without any prizes or bonuses. This could be a very good chance for Inter to round their bank account ant for the Russian team to strike in marketing.

If the transfer will happen, in Russia, Eto’o might meet with Brazilian Roberto Carlos, who plays at Anji from February. This move could be an interesting one, but in which, Eto’o has to consider if it will be a positive one for his career of professional football player.

Murinho done it again

One of the most aggressive coaches in the world, Jose Murinho, has to deal with new problems. His last actions brought him a lawsuit.

Jean-Louis Dupont, the lawyer who led the famous Bosman case in 1995, will defend Jose Mourinho, which wants to escape from all of the sanctions imposed by UEFA. Mourinho was suspended 5 games after the statements made at the end of the match at Camp Nou in the Champions League semifinals.

Mourinho will be presented tomorrow in front of the board of the UEFA in Nyon: “For me there is something very important. I want to go tomorrow in Madrid until the time that I can do training with my team. I don’t want to lose a whole day for this.” said Real’s coach.

Dupont revolutionized modern football, when Bosman, a former modest player of RFC Standard Liege, who in 1995 won a trial that lasted five years, at the end of which, any players could transfer freely, free from the end of the contract within the EU.

Can Dupon help Murinho with this? But this thing is handmade with JM initials on it!

Founded on April 14, 1912, by the initiative of three sports enthusiasts from Santos by the names of Raimundo Marques, Mário Ferraz de Campos, and Argemiro de Souza Júnior, the club has become a symbol of The beautiful game in football culture.

Neymar and Ganso will bring to the club at least 90 million when they go to Europe. Even if the striker wanted by Mourinho’s club is blocked at least until winter, they have another star rising.

Ganso is still a good chance to transfer now. PSG has made an offer of 40 million euros after a month passed since their last refusal of 30 million. The most important competitor of PSG will be AC Milan, which now seems the first choice of the “new Kaka” of Brasil.

Paulo Henrique Ganso, 21, played in 2008 for the first team of Santos, which has scored 8 goals in 45 matches. Ganso has five matches in the national team.

Santos is the most successful club in the Brasileiro, alongside Palmeiras, and was voted by FIFA as the 5th most successful football club of the 20th century. If these two transfers will be sealed, another 2 pearls will migrate to Europe.
