Quote:[size=7] Milan Chase Liverpool Hitman Fernando Torres - Report[/size] The Italians have joined the race for the signature of Fernando Torres...According to a report in Corriere dello Sport, Italian titans Milan are considering making a move for highly rated Liverpool hitman Fernando Torres. The Rossoneri are eager to strengthen their attacking department and had initially set their sights on signing Wolfsburg's Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko. However, they appear to be reluctant to meet the forward's €40 million buy-out clause. Therefore, they have turned their attention to Fernando Torres. The Liverpool star won't come to Italy on the cheap either, but Milan are more willing to splash the cash on the Spaniard following his experience in one of Europe's biggest three leagues. Torres recently expressed his worries about Liverpool's performances so far this term and the prolific striker made it clear that he might leave Anfield Road if the Reds fail to qualify for next year's Champions League. Milan reportedly face stiff competition in the race for Torres' signature though, as Chelsea and Manchester City are closely monitoring the striker's situation too.

Quote:[size=7] Chelsea And Manchester City Would Have To Spend £140M To Lure Fernando Torres From Liverpool - Report[/size] News of the World claims that Fernando Torres will become the most expensive player in the history of football if he leaves Liverpool during the summer.Chelsea and Manchester City are both reported to be interested in the former Atletico Madrid man, with the Sky Blues said to have had a £70 million bid rejected. The Eastlands outfit will have to double to offer to get anywhere, as it is understood that it will take a £140m package to prise the Spanish superstar away from Anfield. That gargantuan figure - which far outstrips the total cost of Cristiano Ronaldo's world-record move from Manchester United to Real Madrid - includes projected wages of more than £280,000 per week. And while Torres has stressed time and again that his future is on Merseyside, that tune could change if the Reds' on- and off-field problems get any worse. Liverpool's inability to find any sort of form this season sees them in danger of missing out on the top four, while their financial situation has left fans baying for the blood of the club's owners. Manager Rafael Benitez has stressed that 'El Nino' must be considered unsellable, but his voice may count for little if performances don't improve and the club fail to secure big-money investment. http://goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2010/01/03/1722152/chelsea-and-manchester-city-would-have-to-spend-140m-to-lure Chelsea wouldn't stump up that sort of cash but Man City definitely would.

I would keep Torres rather than sell him for $140mil.
Him being my favourite player in the world might have something to do with that! :P

Here's a big one, might not come off but negotiations are ongoing...
Matty Upson, West Ham to Spurs, 10mill...
If that comes off, Michael Dawson, Spurs to Sunderland, 8 mill...
If THAT comes off, Anton Ferdinand, Sunderland to West Ham, 5 mill.
Sunderland continuing chase for Adam Johnson and Maynor Figueroa. Offers of 4 and 8 million have been made... If Figueroa joins, Ringo McCartney could be heading back to West Ham with Anton.

Quote:[size=7] Barcelona Chasing Veloso And Afellay - Report[/size] The Blaugrana are set to enter the winter window...Barcelona are set to enter the winter transfer market, with the Blaugrana reportedly preparing bids for Miguel Veloso and Ibrahim Afellay. With Seydou Keita and Yaya Toure away on African Nations Cup duty, Barca are in need of midfield re-enforcements, while they are also hoping for a left winger, with Thierry Henry likely to move on next year. According to Marca, their main target for the latter is Afellay, the 23-year-old Dutch international who plays for PSV Eindhoven, while their choice for the former is Veloso, also 23, who plays for Sporting Lisbon. Barcelona are aware that both players are in high demand, so they are eager to push through a move, with news to this regard expected before the end of the week. http://goal.com/en/news/12/spain/2010/01/04/1724102/barcelona-chasing-veloso-and-afellay-report If Veloso is smart he will stay put since he won't get any game time at Barca.

Quote:[size=7] Report: Nemanja Vidic Edges Toward Manchester United Exit As Sir Alex Ferguson Rages Over Mystery Injury[/size] Nemanja Vidic's future at Manchester United is looking more uncertain than ever following his late withdrawal from Sunday's FA Cup clash with Leeds United, The Mirror claims. The Serbian centre-back - who was replaced by Wes Brown - allegedly refused to play after complaining of an indeterminate ailment during the warm-up, and he received little sympathy from his manager. Talking to the press after the shock 1-0 defeat, Sir Alex Ferguson said: "I couldn't tell you what the situation is with Nemanja. I couldn't tell you at all." This mystery injury only adds to the confusion surrounding Vidic's present situation, as the 28-year-old is said to be deeply unsettled at Old Trafford. There is no lack of interest in the defender from abroad, with Spanish powerhouses Barcelona and Real Madrid both touted as likely buyers. http://goal.com/en/news/9/england/2010/01/04/1724009/report-nemanja-vidic-edges-toward-manchester-united-exit-as Would be a huge huge blow to Man Utd if he left. Would create a gaping hole in their backline. Rio's injury problems and loss of form this year doesn't help much.

Quote:[size=7] Goran Pandev Signs Five Year Inter Contract - Report[/size] The Macedonian hitman has penned a deal after passing a medical and an official announcement is expected this afternoon...Goran Pandev has began his new adventure with Inter after passing his medical before signing terms that will tie him to the club, according to Sky Sport Italia. The report claims Pandev arrived at the Nerazzurri's Appiano Gentile training ground at 11:22CET. He was whisked in by a car laid on by the club which did not stop for the gathered press gang. After passing a brief medical while the rest of the squad trained on the pitch, Pandev signed his new deal that will keep him there for the next five seasons. The club have not substantiated the move, but they are expected to announce it officially on their website later today. The former Lazio man has been a free agent since December 23 when he rescinded his contract in Rome. http://goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2010/01/04/1724431/goran-pandev-signs-five-year-inter-contract-report Jimsmith will be devastated :lol: :lol: :lol:

Quote:[size=7] Milan Offer €25 Million Plus Klaas-Jan Huntelaar For Wolfsburg Striker Edin Dzeko - Report[/size] The Rossoneri have not given up hope of landing the hitman...Milan are ready to leap into the transfer market and offer Wolfsburg €25 miliion cash and striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in exchange for Edin Dzeko. L'Equipe reports the Rossoneri have opened up dialogue with the German side and are ready to throw the dice for the powerful Bosnian striker. Milan have been chasing Dzeko since early on in last summer's transfer window, and although a move couldn't be agreed before the first September deadline, they now appear confident of clinching a deal. To help facilitate the move, Huntelaar will be used as bait to entice the German outfit into reaching an agreement. Adriano Galliani has always maintained there would be no major spending this winter, but reports would suggest that Milan may now make their move. http://goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2010/01/04/1724487/milan-offer-25-million-plus-klaas-jan-huntelaar-for Would be a massive massive transfer if it went through.

Quote:[size=7] Stoke City Goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen Hints At Exit[/size] Potters keeper tempted by European move...Stoke City goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen has revealed he could be tempted to leave the Britannia Stadium in order to play European football. The 33-year-old, who signed a new two-year contract with the Potters in November, claims he has recently rejected an offer from a top European club. He told spn.dk: "It wasn't long ago and it was an unofficial enquiry. "It was from one of the biggest clubs (in Europe), but it was not what I am looking for at the moment." Sorensen is hoping to be included in Denmark’s World Cup squad in the summer and he admits he could leave the Britannia Stadium if the right offer comes along. "My ambition is to play at the highest possible level. That is the World Cup with the national team and European competitions with the club. "I am happy where I am, but does an offer come, it will be hard to refuse." The Denmark international joined Stoke on a free transfer from Aston Villa in 2008 and he has made 55 appearances for the club. http://goal.com/en/news/9/england/2010/01/04/1724926/stoke-city-goalkeeper-thomas-sorensen-hints-at-exit Would be a massive loss for Stoke one of the best keepers in the league this season.

Quote:[size=7] Liverpool Defender Andrea Dossena To Sign For Napoli For €5m[/size] The transfer is imminent...Liverpool's Andrea Dossena will shortly sign for Napoli in a €5 million deal, according to various reports in the Italian press. Napoli's sporting director, Riccardo Bigon, arrived in Merseyside on Monday for talks that have apparently borne fruit. Dossena, 28, arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2008 but has failed to settle into the rhythm of the English game. With Fabio Aurelio dominating the left-back position, and other places in the squad also being unavailable, Dossena in fact made fewer than 20 first team appearances in two and a half season. However, Liverpool held out on a sale until they were able to recoup some of their original outlay, which was in the region of €8.75m at contemporary prices. http://goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2010/01/04/1725644/liverpool-defender-andrea-dossena-to-sign-for-napoli-for-5m
