Football Transfers Thread

Milan keeps quelling the potential Kaka transfer. Madrid have made a self-imposed 9 August deadline to acquire him.

And a very interesting one here; according to one Spanish paper, Roberto Carlos will leave Madrid on Monday to sign for Fenerbah?e. :eek:

Madrid have signed players late before.
Any time after that date and he will be unable to play for Madrid in European competition (that's the date of Milan's first CL qualifier).

One Spanish TV-news agency says that the Kaka transfer is very much alive, saying that negotiations are "75% completed" and the transfer could be announced in the next few days. They also said that he has requested 17 as his shirt number (that's currently Woody's :D).

Rumors that Ashley Cole may replace Roberto Carlos are circulating.

"Seeing that the hiring of Robben is almost an impossible one, Capello has given the name him of Jose Antonio Reyes to Mijatovic. The Sevillian wants to play in Real Madrid and, mainly, he wants a change of airs and to forget London completely, where he is not happy. Arsenal paid Seville 20 million euros and the English would request that amount so as not to lose money." - AS

The Cesc transfer fee may be up around 30 million euros, if he gets transferred at all. Baptista may be used as collateral to lower that fee. But if Cesc cannot be obtained, Xabi Alonso looks to be another potential target. Rumors of around a 25 million euro transfer and a seven year contract if acquired.
 
GOd you are optimistic!You will not get Reyes,Cesc or Kaka,and it is also very unlikely that you will get Cole.Only an Idiot would want a move to Real Madrid.Especially from clubs such as Arsenal and Milan.

It's not me, it's the Spanish press. And they do this every year. Just off the top of my head, last season Madrid was linked to Edgar Davids, Michael Ballack, Francesco Totti, and Thierry Henry among others. They are very optomistic, and then criticize Madrid like nobodys business. That's just the way it works over there - I guess it sells papers.

Roberto Carlos is reportedly very close to staying in Madrid. Apparently he isn't too thrilled about a move to Turkey, and the Madrid organization is working hard to retain him.

Now here's an interesting one. Supposedly if Milan lose Kaka to Madrid, they will have enough cash to go out and buy Ronaldinho for around 100 million euros. :eek:
Here is the article (in Spanish).

What a load of rubbish!Saqve us from such drivel!~Ronaldinho has a five year contract at Barxca as i can recall.Barca won the Champs and the league last season,so why would he move to milan who have an 8 point deficit?He won't be moving,and Carlos staying is just a loss ofr Madrid as he's well past it.

Why did Figo leave Barca for Madrid despite having won two back to back La Liga titles?

Although I do agree that Ronaldinho leaving Barca looks highly unlikely.

Anyways news just in that Patrick Viera has made a ?6.5 million move from Juventus to Inter Milan.

Because Figo is a traitorous dog,and thats the kind of players you get at Real.Anybody with integrity and sense wouldn't go anywhere near Madrid.

Raul has integrity and sense, and he's still there :D.

Roberto Carlos cited family reasons when he declared that he is going to stay with Madrid until at least 2008. Here and here , both in Spanish.

Now, this is from Cicinho and not the Spanish press. He says that he spoke to Kaka, who said that a move to Madrid is something he wants and something that could happen.

Figo cited the Barca fans as crazy, and said that Madrid had a better chance of winning the Champions League than Barca at that time.

According to your statement you are accusing the following players of not having integrity and sense:

Raul
Zidane
Sergio Ramos
Ronaldo
Robinho
Julio Baptista
Antonio Cassano
 
I have to say I agree with Sachin. A lot of players are mad to join Real Madrid, they underachieve far to often. They are a team of individuals.

Raul has absolutely no sense...:rolleyes:
 
We can very well see "who" has sense now.

Chelsea have made a $49 million bid for Fernando Torres. RA has even offered El Nino the number 9 jersey, which is currently worn by Hernan Crespo.

I also read that Roberto Carlos has ended his contract at Real Madrid.

Could you post a link to that article, I'd really like to see that (and hopefully see Chelsea NOT get their man for once ;)).

I think you mean Roberto Carlos extended his contract. Unless something really big happened that I don't know about...
