Internacional president Giovanni Luigi has stated that the club would only be willing to sell their star striker Leandro Damião if they receive an ''exceptional'' offer.

It is believed that representatives of Tottenham Hotspur are currently in Porte Alegre trying to thrash out a deal with Inter for the highly-rated 23-year-old.

Luigi, however, insists that he is not willing to comment on Damião's situation this week as he wants everyone at Internacional to be fully focused on Sunday's Brasileirão clash against the club's local rivals Grêmio.

''I would never speak about anything involving the negotiation of an important player like Leandro Damião, especially during the week leading up to the Gre-Nal derby,'' the Colorado chief told Rádio Gaucha.

''Next week, Internacional will only negotiate if the offer was exceptional, which does not seem to be the case for what has been said until now.

''Today, Internacional are fortunate enough to be in a position where they do not need to negotiate unless it's an extraordinary offer for the club.''

A source close to Damião revealed on Tuesday that Tottenham are ready to make the Brazil international their record signing, meaning that they would be willing to spend at least £16.5 million for his services.

However the player's contract with Inter includes a buy-out clause of £47 million, which runs until 2016.

AS Roma have been linked with a move for unsettled Fulham star Clint Dempsey. The Serie A side is looking to sell Bojan and like the look of the American forward as his replacement.

Yeah that ain't happening. We're in the same boat as Liverpool in that we cannot offer him CL football this season, which he appears all too eager to want.

2 Americans would be a marketing masterclass for us though.

Alvaro Pereira is heading to San Siro after his agent confirmed “Porto are negotiating with Inter” for a €13m move.

The Uruguayan international can play on the left of defence or midfield, so essentially sharing the role with Javier Zanetti.

“You’d have to ask his club about the status of talks,” agent Flavio Perchman told Calciomercato.it.

“Porto are negotiating with Inter. Are we confident? I don’t know, you’d have to ask Porto.”

It is reported the deal will be worth around €13m and a four-year contract offered to the 26-year-old.

Representative Perchman also spoke to Portuguese radio station Radio Renascença.

“There are negotiations happening now, but as soon as Porto reach an agreement with the club, then we will enter the fray.

“It is an Italian team, but I cannot say which one...”

By Football Italia staff

Danubio goalkeeper Mauro Goicoechea has revealed that he is set to join Italian giants Roma this summer.

“I’m really happy,” he told a website in his homeland of Uruguay. “I’m living through a really important moment.

“I’ve had to wait for 15 days, but fortunately everything has been concluded in the best manner possible.

Only because you're probably offering something near £60k p/w while Lille's highest earner (Mavuba) is on something around £30k p/w.

Wouldn't even give you the time of day if a real big club were interested tbh. But no sensible club would be interested in a player who gets out-muscled by Jordi Alba.

Alba ffs.

ALBA!!!!

Shite club.

Are you from London ? Or just trolling ? No club is shit, every club is important to their supporter. Stop shitting on fans and calling clubs shit unless you are from London and go to Chelsea games, because if not then your a glory hunter!

According to Spanish sports news website AS.com, Arsène Wenger has highlighted the name of Sevilla winger Jesus Navas on his list of players who could be brought in to further strengthen the Arsenal squad.

Wenger is apparently preparing a €15 million (roughly £11.8m) bid for the Spanish international in order to test the water and see if Sevilla are willing to negotiate.

Navas has a buy-out-clause of £27 million, but it is reported that Sevilla could settle for around half that.

Llorente pushes for Juve?

It’s reported Fernando Llorente is edging closer to Juventus after putting in a transfer request to Athletic Bilbao.

The striker has been pinpointed as their main target for the summer and he was dropped from Marcelo Bielsa’s side in the opening Liga game of the season.

According to the latest rumours from Spain, agent and brother Jesus Llorente is expected to arrive for a crucial meeting later today.

So far Athletic have demanded the €36m buy-out clause even though Llorente only has a year left to run on his contract.

However, the Spain international is set to put in a transfer request and hope to force down the price-tag so he can complete the move to Juventus.

Southampton's pursuit of Bologna midfielder Gaston Ramirez has come to an unsuccessful end, according to the player's agent.


The south-coast side were believed to have agreed a fee with the Serie A club and terms with the player several days ago, but Saints' proposal has since been rejected.

It had looked as though the newly promoted team had pulled off a major coup by landing the highly rated Uruguayan from under the noses of Champions League-chasing sides Liverpool and Tottenham.

"The negotiations with Southampton have ended," Ramirez's agent, Oscar Betancourt, told calciomercatoweb.it.

M'Vila:

“In France we have until September four, [when the transfer window closes],”M’Vila told Sport 24.

“If I have to stay with Rennes for another year, I’ll stay- if I go that’s life – but whilst I am here I am 100% focussed.”

Forget that shit

With a little over a week left there might be some nice transfers going through.

I like how arsenal are buying great players. Sahin and now interest in navas is awesome. I hope they sign a proper dm and they will be contenders always nice to see arsenal on top (Henry one of my favorite players so I follow arsenal)

I want juve to get llorente because juventus need to be back on top of seria a(Boniek affiliation)

I am surprised that Madrid, barca, and city have been so quit thi transfer market. IMO Madrid and city don't need anyone but they always seem to spend no matter their team. Barcelona does need a cb so I was surprised they didn't get anyone.

[Onyx]

If Sahin leaves I think we do need a midfielder. Last season our midfield play wasn't the best.

Russian club, Anzhi Makhachkala have reportedly made a €68 million offer to Atletico Madrid for Colombian striker, Radamel Falcao in their bid to win the Russian League.

According to Portuguese newspaper, A Bola, Kerminov has offered €68 million for the Europa League two-time leading goal-scorer, which would be €7 million short of the Colombian`s €75 million buy-out clause.

“You read many things in the media but from the information I have, Luka will move to Real Madrid for sure,” Mamic told 24sata.

"I've heard it's almost done, so I don't have any doubts Luka will play for Real Madrid next season,” Mamic continued.

"It is just a question of when the official announcement will be."

Bielsa:



"Athletic is going through a difficult time and it is not helped by malicious information," Bielsa told Marca.

"I asked Llorente and Martinez if I was the reason why they do not want to stay at the club, and they both said 'no'.

"Had they answered 'yes', then I would have acted accordingly."

Bielsa:

"I asked Llorente and Martinez if I was the reason why they do not want to stay at the club, and they both said 'no'.

"Had they answered 'yes', then I would have acted accordingly."

It doesn't matter the reason why they want to leave, the players will still be unhappy. Just sell Llorente to Juventus and Martinez to Bayern Munchen and face the consequences of signing only local players.

Douglas:

FC Twente chairman Joop Munsterman has dismissed reports that Fulham have made an offer for Douglas, and warns suitors that the player's cost will be inflated by agent's fees.

"[It's] absolutely not true [that an offer was received from Fulham]. We didn't receive a bid at all," Munsterman told reporters.

"Media are writing that we want to sell Douglas because he's out of contract in a year, but that's not true."

The chairman went on to indicate that the fee they require for Douglas – who is out of contract next summer and open to a move to England – will be affected by the high price of the player's agent.

A potential move to Fulham has emerged in the media recently due to the changing status of the player's nationality. From August 26, Douglas will have lived in Holland for five years, awarding him a Dutch passport that will allow him easy access to England via a labour permit.

Having been selected in Louis van Gaal's preliminary squad for his new country's game against Turkey, Douglas may soon start making headlines in a Holland shirt. Munsterman is keen not to let go of his star defender without a fight.

He continued: "We won't agree with these kind of offers. To us it's not about losing a player on a free agent, but what the result is after we've paid agents and such."
