LUCH-ENERGY , the most flying team in the Russian championship, intends to significantly increase its “air run”: in the coming season, the yellow-blue ones will solve the problem of getting into the UEFA Cup. For this purpose, three or four legionnaires of a decent level, including Korean football players, will replenish the Vladivostok squad, says “YOUR DAY”.
“TOM” is close to getting rid of financial problems that pretty bothered her last season. According to Your Day, negotiations with a potential sponsor of the club, Tomskneft, which is very interested in the future of the team from Siberian Athens, have entered a decisive stage. Meanwhile, the head coach of “Tommy” Valery Petrakov, busy looking for new players, after a fruitless Polish voyage the other day will go to Turkey, where he already has a midfielder in mind.
MIROSLAV KLOSE , 28-year-old striker for Werder Bremen and the German national team, has fallen into the sphere of interests of Sir Alex Ferguson, who is going to invite the best sniper of the 2006 World Cup to Old Trafford in the summer, according to The Manchester Evening News. Despite a contract with the “Bremen Town Musicians” until 2008, Klose already expressed a desire to pursue a career in the English Premier League. Juventus has serious views of it. Two years ago, Werder bought a forward from Kaiserslautern for £ 3.5 million, and since then its transfer price has at least doubled.
Fernando Gago , a defensive midfielder for Boca Juniors, is too expensive for Real Madrid, Tribalfooball believes. Creamy refused to pay more than 12 million pounds for a transfer of a 20-year-old Argentinean, whose services Boka estimates at 16 million. Three-day negotiations have reached an impasse, although the initial price for the midfielder was 20 lemons. Whether the new Redondo is worth the money is a moot point. But the calculation of “Real” is simple: “Juniors” have just lost the championship. So, you need to get rid of the player as soon as possible, and there is still time to bring down the price until January 31. That's only Gago already in full offer “Barcelona” and Madrid “Atletico”.
SHUNSUKE NAKAMURA , the Celtic midfielder, thanks to a successful game in the Champions League, including the excellent execution of penalties, fell into the orbit of attention of Spanish and Italian clubs, tells The Evening Times. The 28-year-old Japanese himself, whose contract with the Scottish Grand was signed until 2009, is not averse to moving to the Pyrenees, where Sevilla, Madrid Atletico and Deportivo are licking his lips. A year and a half ago, Naka went to “Celtic” from “Regina” for 2.7 million euros. But, according to Gordon Strakan, the transfer amount was half that.
KARIM BENZEMA , Lyon striker, is the subject of hunting for the strongest Serie A clubs, Tribalfooball informs. In order to get a 19-year-old striker, whose contract with the French hegemon only came to an end in 2010, Juventus, Roma and Inter would have to ease the club treasury by 8 million pounds.
MATTHEW APSON , the 27-year-old central quarterback for Birmingham’s first English division, is in high demand in the Premier League. According to Tribalfooball, the next (ninth!) Club that expressed their intention to acquire it was Liverpool, which joined Aston Villa, Newcastle, West Ham, Tottenham, Fulham, Blackburn, " Sheffield United and Wigan. Upson’s contract with Birmingham, four years ago, bought a defender from Arsenal for 1 million pounds, expires in a year and a half.
"MILAN" has aimed at a bunch of central defenders of "Roma" Philippe Mexes - Christian Chivu, Tribalfooball claims. Until 2008, the Frenchman and Romanian belong to the Roman club, which faced a dilemma: to renew contracts with these players or sell them?
MADRID ATLETICO is showing more and more persistent interest in the 20-year-old midfielder of the Lisbon Sporting Miguel Veloso, whom the Spanish club wants to sign in January, Tribalfooball claims.
FRANK GROWTH , having lost a place at the Schalke 04 goal, according to Sportal, will play for Bayer Leverkusen from the second round. Leverkusentsev does not like the game of Hans-Jorg Butt, and his understudy Rene Adler is still in the infirmary. Butt, apparently, will return to Hamburg, where the problem of the last line of defense is becoming more urgent. Earlier it was reported about a possible transfer to the team of Thomas Doll of Rost himself.
“LION” with the loss of injured Fred, Karim Benzema and John Carew is experiencing a deficit in attack and during the next pre-bid period expects to replenish the attackers, reports Tribalfooball. The French champion joined the fight for the young Danish forward Arsenal Niklas Bendtner, who is on loan for Birmingham. “Milan”, however, has already managed to get a turn from the gate here: the “gunners” rejected his offer of 7 million pounds. According to Birmingham coach Steve Bruce, Bendtner will remain on the team until the end of the season. But the other day, the Brazilian striker Nilmar, who is still being rented by Corinthians, will return to Lyon.
