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.

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!

Fabregas at Barca, finally!?

on July 25, 2011 None comments

Could it really be true? The rumors say that after a lot of long and hard negotiations, the Fabregas at Barcelona soap opera is almost to the end.

Arsenal is ready to let Fabregas to go to Barcelona but they want in return to receive 36 million euros, which is just last offer of Catalans, plus Thiago Alcantara!

The only thing is that the transfer will be up only with the condition that Alcantara will be part of this understanding. The media from UK reported that Barca’s vice president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, was in London to negotiate the transfer and put an end to all this theatre.

Arsenal is evaluating Fabregas around 45 million but are they are willing to accept a smaller amount as long as the Catalans offer includes Alcantara in the package.

The ball is now in Barcelona’s courtyard now and Guardiola must decide if he’ll let go of the international Spanish U21 which he said is part of his plans for the next season.

But after all, will this transfer do any good for Fabregas? Can Barcelona, and better said, Guardiola shape more from this diamond? Keep close!
