Five in for Neymar


Sorry, we've been a little MIA lately. But we're back and our comeback post belongs to the hottest Brazilian property according to Europe. Brazilian giants Santos have confirmed that five, yes FIVE clubs have agreed to pay the 19-year old's release clause of a whooping €45 million. The five clubs apparently interested in the Santos ace are- Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City (No surprises) and Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala (Whooo?!) According to Santos' President, Luis Alvaro de Oliveira Ribeiro claims that all clubs' approach was ethical this time, unlike Chelsea's last year who contacted the player's representatives before having any talks with the club. All clubs will be allowed to agree terms with Neymar.


Verdict: Barcelona want a striker (not that they need one), Chelsea need a long-term partner for  Torres. Madrid and City want, well, everyone. And Anzhi Makhachkala, obviously need someone to make them famous. :P Barcelona should concentrate on Fabregas as their top summer target. Chelsea will be the front-runners


He may be brilliant, he may be young but he's not a proven European player yet, so don't pay too much for him.

Villa-for-real: Give us the money, and Rossi is yours






Villarreal coach Juan Carlos Garrido has indicated that striker Giuseppe Rossi will be sold this summer if the Yellow Submarines get a good offer for him. The front-runners are UEFA Champions' League winners Barcelona. The ex-Man United striker has been rated at between €25 million and €30 million. The Catalan giants are looking to add two new strikers to their squad and make it even stronger, if that's possible.

The Italian striker has scored 51 goals for Villarreal in 127 appearances, out of which 32 came this season in 56 games.
