Transfer News

Thought it would be an idea to give you a run down of some of the transfers that have been happening around the big euro clubs at the moment.

Real Madrid won't stop buying yet; after agreeing a €35m deal for Karim Benzema with Lyon, the Merengues are now expected to sign Franck Ribery from Bayern Munich. The Frenchman has told the press that if he leaves the Bavarians, it will only be to join Kaka, Ronaldo et al at the Bernabeu.

Also, Raul Albiol sailed through his medical at Los Blancos today. He will be unveiled soon as a €13m acquisition from Valencia. The Spain international could be joined in Manuel Pellegrini's back-line by Maicon, with the Inter defender's agent admitting that a 'transfer assault' from the Spanish capital was likely.

Less secure is a move for David Villa. The signs indicate that the Valencia front-man may join Barcelona over their eternal rivals but both player and club are remaining coy about the deal. Indeed, Barca could turn to Atletico Madrid's Diego Forlan if their overtures for 'Ej Guaje' bear no fruit. However, Villa's los Che colleague, David Silva is again being pursued by Real Madrid.

Florentino Perez's Galactico recruitment drive means that there is likely to be little space for the Dutch contingent at the Bernabeu but Wesley Sneijder has vowed to stay and fight for his place. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar's future is less clear; Milan maintain their interest in The Netherlands international. The Rossoneri haven't given up hope of landing Edin Dzeko either.

Meanwhile, Barcelona could be ready to lose Samuel Eto'o to Manchester City. The Blaugrana are said to be disappointed with the behaviour of the player's agent with regard to recent negotiations. Eidur Gudjohnsen, though, could remain at the club, along with Aliaksandr Hleb, despite interest from elsewhere.

Juventus could move in for the Fiorentina midfielder, Felipe Melo, despite the player signing a new contract but the Old Lady could be set to lose David Trezeguet to either Atletico Madrid or Lyon.

Inter are still seeking a clutch of reinforcements, with Bayern Munich's Lucio and Lille's Eden Hazard the latest names to be linked with Jose Mourinho's lot.

Across town and AC Milan are trying to ward off Chelsea interest in Alexandre Pato and on a low-key day of business in England, the Blues are set to announce the arrival of Ross Turnbull from Middlesbrough.

Still in Carlo Ancelotti's sights is Stephane Sessegnon and today, the Paris St Germain midfielder hinted that he could be ready to depart the French capital.

Also leaving Ligue 1 is Kader Keita; the Ivorian is close to sealing a switch to Galatasaray.

Finally, Ze Roberto has confirmed his Bosman transfer to Hamburg, but insists that money was not the prime factor in his decision.

Right that's the up date to the transfers and possibility's for today, keep looking there may be more tomorrow.
