Damn how are they able to do all of this? Their team can be crazy good this season, especially if they manage to keep Laba

MLS should do something about the whole Loan thing seeming to be a way to work around the cap. They need to figure something out next CBA

TFC finally using that financial muscle

Despite insisting he is very happy at Bayern Munich, reports have suggested that Javi Martinez will move to Real Madrid in the summer.

The midfielder claimed on Thursday that he was enjoying life with the European champions.

But El Chiringuito journalist Francois Gallardo has insisted that the Spain international is trying to force his way to Santiago Bernabeu.

“There is an international player who has told his club that he wants to play for Real Madrid,” Gallardo told the programme.

“He’s already been sounded out in the past by Real Madrid, and also Barcelona.

“It’s Javi Martinez, and he’s hoping to play for Real Madrid.”

Valencia sporting director Francisco Rufete has revealed that the club signed Nicolas Otamendi after Manchester United abandoned their interest in the player.

A deal failed to materialise, however, and rumours surfaced late on January 31 that Otamendi would be moving to Valencia, although the move was not completed until after the deadline passed and he has not been registered to play in La Liga this season.

Otamendi will now go out on loan until the end of the campaign, with the leatest reports suggesting Copa Libertadores champions Atletico Mineiro as his destination, but Rufete says that in spite of the complications, Valencia felt that they had to take the opportunity to sign the centre-half when they could.

"If I'd tried to buy Otamendi after the World Cup, it's possible he couldn't come," he told a club supporters' lunch.

"A great sacrifice and a lot work was necessary for him to come. He will explain that when he arrives. We saw that Manchester United pulled out and we moved in."

Porto confirmed to the stock exchange that they will receive €12m plus bonuses for Otamendi, who has agreed a five-year deal at Mestalla.

Uncertainty still surrounds the deal, however, with reports in Spain suggesting that Otamendi could not complete his move because the club already had a full quota of non-EU players on their books, while it has also been reported that he did not arrive for negotiations before the transfer window closed.

Napoli will try and sign Gonalons in the summer, according to Sky Italia.

Rubin Kazan interested in Zenit's Shirokov, according to Izvestia.

Barcelona have added Basel’s Fabian Schar to their list of defensive targets for the summer, according to reports.

Mundo Deportivo claim that the 22-year-old is the latest name to be added by sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta to bolster the backline.

The Blaugrana have been in the market for a centre-back for two years now, missing out on a number of targets, including Thiago Silva.

However, the paper claims that the Camp Nou outfit are determined to land a defender at the end of the season, with Schar added to a longlist.

Athletic Bilbao’s Aymeric Laporte, Inigo Martinez of Real Sociedad and Villarreal’s Mateo Musacchio have all also been linked.

the point was that valencia thought he had an italian passport, only it was revealed that he doesn't... now there's talk that mineiro (if he does go there) want to keep him until end of august when copa libertadores ends, but i have no idea how or why they can even request such a thing if the player doesn't belong to them

Inter director Piero Ausilio has confirmed the club would be interested in signing Nemanja Vidic this summer.

The defender revealed this week that he would not be extending his stay at Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of the season, with the Nerazzurri emerging as early frontrunners for the Serbian's signature.

Ausilio has now admitted the club see "a great opportunity" in 32-year-old Vidic but is expecting stern competition from across the rest of Europe.

"Vidic is an important player whose contract expires in June. Like other European clubs, we will try to get something from this great opportunity," he told Tuttosport.

"He is one of the players we are tracking. He has an interesting profile for Inter, as he has charisma and international experience.

"We will probably lose some players in his role because their contracts are up, so he is someone we are trying to pay attention to.

"However, we're a long way from saying we've already done something with regards to Vidic and I don't feel ready to confirm anything."

Hm. Lately, Fabian Schär was more of a supporting striker at Basel. His goals saved them quite some ponts XD

Porto midfielder Fernando has signed a new contract with the Primeira Liga champions.

The 26-year-old was heavily linked with a late switch to Manchester City towards the end of the January transfer window and speculation was rife that he would opt to join Manuel Pellegrini's side when his contract expired at the end of the season.

The player's brother, Joca Reges, claimed earlier this week that Fernando had already agreed to leave the club this summer, but Fernando has now ended talk over his immediate future by extending his deal with Porto until 2017, with the club confirming the news via their official Twitter account.

Fernando began his career with Vila Nova before joining Porto in 2007, where he has won 12 major honours to date including four Primeira Liga titles and the 2010-11 Europa League.

He has three caps to his name for the Brazil Under-20 side but has yet to earn a senior cap for the Selecao.

Reports in Portugal claim Fernando's new deal includes a €30 million buyout clause.

Thiago Silva has described how Paris Saint-Germain players are consulted on potential transfers, with Eden Hazard mooted as a possible target.

The wealthy Ligue 1 outfit were rumoured to be preparing a massive bid for the 23-year-old Chelsea attacker in January, but no official approach materialised in January.

However, speaking ahead of his side's clash with Monaco on Sunday, Thiago Silva suggested that he would be keen to see the Belgium attacker join les Rouge-et-Bleu and that he and his team-mates were capable of influencing the president Nasser Al-Khelaifi's dealings in the transfer market.

"It's normal that a president discusses [transfers] with the players," the Brazil defender told L'Equipe.

"When there is a new name that comes out in the press, the president discusses it with us. Sometimes, I speak directly to Zlatan [Ibrahimovic]. It's normal to ask ourselves if a player can make us us stronger.

"I would welcome [Hazard] with open arms, like we did with all our recruits. We need players like him to achieve our project and win everything. He is so strong tactically and technically. All the great players are welcome in Paris."

Daily Mail - Manchester United could invest approximately seventy million euro for Vidal and Pogba.While Shaw and Coleman on the other hand are valued at 55m euros.

Barcelona could sign Halilovic, according to Dinamo Zagreb's executive president:

It is true that everything you write. We have received an offer from Barcelona for Halilovic, but it was not accepted because neither Dinamo, nor the Halilovic family were not entirely satisfied with the terms. However, the story does not stop there. Barcelona are squeezes us to make the transfer happen.
