Chelsea will make a final £80m bid for AC Milan’s Kaka, with the Brazil star reportedly keen on a move after the arrival of compatriot Ronaldinho at the San Siro, whose lifestyle does not meet with Kaka’s approval. (Daily Mail)
This is just stupid on so many fronts. If Kaka had an issue with Ronaldinho’s lifestyle then A.C Milan would never of made a move for him in the first place. Also I highly doubt all the Chelsea players are choirboys.
One Brazilian who looks certain to move to Stamford Bridge is Robinho after Chelsea agreed a £28.6m deal with Real Madrid. The Spanish club are preparing to replace the striker with Valencia’s David Villa or Villareal’s Santi Cazorla. (The Guardian)
Robinho was never going to leave up to exceptions at Real Madrid. At Chelsea the demand won’t be there to be a Messi or Ronaldo.
Meanwhile Blues winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has been told to choose between a move to former club Manchester City or Everton, with Portsmouth deterred by the £10m price tag. (The Guardian)
Stay as far away from Manchester City as possible. Don’t care if you’ve played there before.
Espanyol midfielder Albert Riera moved a step closer to becoming a Liverpool player in an £8m switch, with Liverpool set to recoup that money should they qualify for the Champions League group stage. (The Times)
Mentioned this a couple of months ago and I’ll mention it again. Why does Liverpool keep on buying players that haven’t won a thing in their careers. Yes, he is talented but the next big game Riera will play in will be his first.
Aston Villa will press ahead with plans to sign James Milner for £9m from Newcastle. (Guardian)
Newcastle should try their best to keep Milner. Four points from their first two games plus Milner makes a good midfield partnership with Jonás Gutiérrez on the flanks.
