Re: Summer Transfer Rumour Thread Pt. 8

Apparently the fee for Fletcher is 12m rising to 14m.

The official website has it as undisclosed fee though, clearly embarrassed that Artie Ziff spent so much money on a relegated striker

[S]

Midfielder De Jong, who is now in the final season of his contract, was recently linked with Inter Milan, while Juventus are thought to be keen on striker Dzeko.
Mancini, who is reluctant to sanction any sales without having other players lined up, has denied Inter are interested in De Jong and insists the Dutchman will stay put.

He said: "I don't think Inter Milan want De Jong - De Jong stays here."

Dzeko played a bit-part role last season, taking a back seat to the likes of Sergio Aguero and Mario Balotelli.
Reports suggest the Bosnia international could be tempted by regular first-team football in Turin but Mancini insists there have not been any approaches for the frontman.

The manager added: "No, not at the moment."

Maicon's agent:

"There is interest from Manchester City, Real Madrid and Chelsea in the player," Calenda told calciomercato.com.

"There is no possibility that he goes to AC Milan or Juventus.

"He has worn the Nerazzurri shirt for six seasons and has too much respect for the fans to betray them in that manner.

"He could also yet remain at Inter."

More Allegri-Milan tension

Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri allegedly threatened to resign over his club’s bid to net Ze Eduardo from Genoa, reports La Repubblica.

The Rossoneri had agreed a deal with the Stadio Ferraris outfit for the Brazilian, but without the consent of Allegri.

The move subsequently collapsed after the former Cagliari tactician made it clear that he did not want the forward in his squad.

It’s not the first sign of tension between Coach and the club this summer given that Allegri was criticised by Adriano Galliani recently.

The Vice-President was left furious with Allegri after the Diavolo lost a pre-season friendly to Real Madrid in spectacular fashion – losing 5-1 in the process.

Allegri has been deprived of some key personnel in this window after a host of veterans left at the end of their contracts, while Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were sold to Paris Saint-Germain.

It is also claimed that Allegri has asked for a defensive midfielder before the window closes, but Galliani has his eyes on a more attacking player instead.

Real Madrid’s Ricky Kaka is still on their radar with a possible final decision over that move to be made on Wednesday.

....

Seems like Allegri is fed up of being a puppet to B&G

According to Russian website Lifesports, Porto have accepted Zenit's offer of €50M for Hulk, but have left the choice up to the Brazilian.

Just like RvP would never play for another Premier League club etc etc

Although, I hope Licht stays and I don't want Maicon.

Wenger:

"We will only take players who have something special," said the Arsenal manager, who takes his side to Stoke on Sunday.

"We are still in the market in some positions, but overall we believe we have a very strong squad.

Bologna President Albano Guaraldi warns talks with Southampton have collapsed, even if “Gaston Ramirez threatened me and said he won’t play here anymore.”

The Uruguayan international had claimed in several interviews last week that his move to the Saints was down to the final details, but the club was stunned and insisted no deal had been struck.

“There are no negotiations for Ramirez. Either he goes on our conditions or he stays here,” declared President Guaraldi on Sky Sport Italia.

“He is a player wanted above all abroad, but we want €15m net. Any other players included in the move have to be very interesting for us to accept them.

“Southampton did not give us guarantees and the talks for Ramirez’s transfer have been interrupted.”

The Bologna patron revealed Ramirez is trying every trick in the book to force through the transfer.

“The player is very angry with me, but he has to understand that his agent negotiated without our knowledge.

“Then Ramirez threatened me and said he won’t play here anymore, but I tried to explain the situation to me.

“I would’ve respected my promise to sell him, but his behaviour cannot be justified without guarantees. Players receive bad advice and I hope at the end of the transfer session everything can be sorted out.”

Would be a good signing. I'm sure AVB likes him quite a bit, and I'd love to have him for rotation.
