Diarra linked with United move

Real Madrid midfielder Mahamadou Diarra is being linked with a move to Manchester United. The Mali international has revealed that he could leave the Spanish giants this summer for regular first team football.

It’s being reported in the Spanish media that the defensive midfielder is on Sir Alex Ferguson’s summer wish list. United have also been linked with teammate Lassana Diarra, who was formerly with Premier League clubs Chelsea and Portsmouth.

Lassana is however believed to carry a larger price tag than his older namesake. The 29 year-old has been out of favour this season with former-Liverpool star Xabi Alonso replacing him in the centre of the Real midfield.

He has admitted that he could make the move to the English champions. He told media:“I am very flattered to be linked with a prestigious club like Manchester United. They are a top team and on a same level as Madrid. The Premier League is also the top league in the world, so let’s wait and see”

Diarra has also been linked with a move to French side PSG. However it’s unlikely that the midfielder would choose Ligue One ahead of the Premier League.

Liverpool Managing Director Christian Purslow told Liverpool’s official website: “Jonjo is an exciting young England international. His signing is part of our long-term strategic recruitment plan and we all look forward to welcoming him to Melwood.”

Meanwhile Charlton chairman Richard Murray revealed that the club didn’t want to sell Shelvey but felt that they couldn’t afford to turn the offer down.

Murray said: No club likes to lose such a talented prospect, but the overall package is one we couldn’t refuse, and one which was very attractive to Jonjo. It is with the greatest reluctance that we have accepted an offer for Jonjo from Liverpool.”Liverpool are going to develop him over the next few years to be a top player, and I can’t think of a better place for him to go to.”

Fulop interested in Manchester City move

Sunderland goalkeeper Martin Fulop has revealed that he would interested in a short-term move to Manchester City. City boss Roberto Mancini has lost first choice keeper Shay Given with a dislocated  shoulder and has now asked the Premier League to sign a keeper on an emergency-loan deal.

City are also without second choice keeper Stuart Taylor who is also on the injury-list. England keeper Joe Hart is currently on-loan at Birmingham from City but it remains to be seen if the Blues will allow the keeper to return to his parent club before the end of the season.

Fulop has emerged as the most likely recruit as he’s currently second choice to Craig Gordon at Sunderland and wasn’t even on the bench for the Mackems 1-0 victory at Hull City on Saturday. The move seems to suit all parties involved.

Fulop told Skysports: “I can’t confirm officially any approach because personally I haven’t been contacted by anyone. But if the news is true then I’d go there happily and I would be hungry to play for Manchester City. This is an enormous honour for me that my name has been linked with a club which has such a great history.”

Atletico Madrid starlet Sergio ‘Kun’ Aguero has confirmed he would relish playing for Chelsea. Aguero has been linked with a number of the top clubs in Europe. The latest club to be linked with the 21 year-old is Italian giants Inter Milan.

Atletico have struggled this season to hit the heights of last season’s fourth place finish in La Liga and currently sit midtable in the Spanish top flight. This disappointing form has prompted the youngster to decide that its the right time to move on.

With that decision Chelsea seem to head the queue of likely destinations for the Argentinian international. Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti will be given a major transfer war chest to strengthen his squad this summer. Its now believed that Aguero is their biggest transfer target.

Aguero told the Daily Express: “Chelsea are a great club. They have become one of the most feared in Europe over recent years. I look at players like Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard and they have been, and still are, the best players in their positions in the world. I could really learn from players like that, there is no doubt.”

If an offer has come to the club, I don’t know about it. When I first came to the Premier League I wanted to learn, and of course I thought of playing for a bigger team.

Arsenal have also been linked with Arsene Wenger’s compatriot Charles N’Zogbia. The winger wouldn’t have done his chances of a move any harm with a superb injury-time winner against the Gunners. Wenger may chose to pursuit a summer swoop for the duo.

Championship side Watford are taking a look at trialists in a bid to improve their squad. The two most high-profile are Everton youngsters Moses Barnett and John Nolan. The duo are set to be released by the Premier League club this summer.

Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema Possibly Heading to Man Utd

Football players in this day and age are straight commodities. Your hometown hero this season could catch the twenty-million-pound bus next and leave you bitter and jaded. It’s always fun to watch your favorite footy star while he’s suited up for your squad.

Players are transferred today like it’s the London Stock Exchange, and Real Madrid’s French forward Karim Benzema certainly doesn’t appear to be an exception to the rule.

No stranger to the transfer game, Manchester United is currently in negotiations that would hopefully send Karim, along with Valencia’s David Silva, to the team. So far, the news is only on the rumor mill, but United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is attempting to shore-up funding for the acquirement by sweet-talking American owner Malcolm Irving Glazer out of 60 million.

Glazer, who also owns the American NFL franchise the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, certainly has the funding available to sign Real Madrid’s ultra-talented forward to a lucrative deal – and gain a solid utility player in the process on the cheap. But whether or not Ferguson will receive funding for his selected stock remains to be seen.

Some speculate that, instead of Glazer parting with such a sweet chunk of change, he will instead pinch his pennies and force Ferguson to make lemonade from lemons by acquiring lesser players.

Benzema and Silva both would be welcomed additions to Manchester, but only time will tell if the deal can be made.

Speroni open to Palace move as Boro eye Dutchman

Crystal Palace keeper Julian Speroni has refused to rule out a move to fellow Championship side Queens Park Rangers. The Argentinian’s former-boss Neil Warnock is with the London club and he’s hoping to add him to his squad in the summer.

Warnock once talked about Speroni as the ‘best keeper in the Championship’. Warnock knows all too well the financial problems Palace are in as he only left the club a few months ago. However the financial situation is believed to be far better at his new club and he will be given money to spend to mount a promotion challenge next season.

Speroni’s contract expires in a year and is believed to be interested in working with Warnock again. He revealed: “I had a good time with Neil Warnock while he was here. I’ve got one more season on my contract here. Then, whatever happens will happen.”

Meanwhile Middlesbrough are being linked with a move for Dutch striker Ruud ter Heide. The 27 year-old is currently on-loan at second tier Dutch side Emmen from Cambuur.However he has a poor relationship with his Cambuur boss Stanley Menzo.

He told RTV: “I hope my future will be decided in the next few weeks. Things are also dependent on the trainer at Cambuur. If he stays, I would rather not go back again. It is no secret that we don’t like each other.”
