Barcelona Interested in Pavlyuchenko

Goal.com has reported that Barcelona management is very much keen to bring the Spartak Moscow forward Roman Pavlyuchenko to Nou Camp. Roman Anatolevich Pavlyuchenko performance in Euro 2008 is reported to be the reason why the club is interested iun him. It is also reported that Real Madrid and Sevilla are both intersted in signing him. Barcelona could sign the striker for 10 million euros and that makes him more favourite than the 38 million Euro Adebayor. He is not a bad striker either. He joined Spartak in 2003 and has scored 67 goals in 136 appearance.I think he was the one who scored both the Goals against England in their Euro qualifying match. Apart from these reports, the transfer rumour regarding Barbatov is emerging as the front runner.

Barcelona sports chief Txiki Begiristain is supposed to fly to Brazil to continue talks with Hernanes club Sao Paulo. It is reported that barcelona has already struck peronal deal with the player, which will see him pocketing £1.5 million per year. Ok, Now to the biggest surprise - La galaxy is interested in signing Ronaldinho. They will table an offer which will result in Barcelona getting £18 million for the striker. Ronaldinho will be pocketing £12 million-a-year PLUS another £12 million for his image rights.

Berbatov to Barcelona?

The Mirror published reports about a possible 25 million pound bid by Barcelona for the Bulgarian,Dimitar Berbatov. Report suggest that the Totenham star striker prefer to a move to Camp Noyu rather than to Madrid or Trafford. Both these clubs are repostedly interested in him. But Barcelona believes their sale of Dos Santos to Totenham may already have put them in driving seat. Inter Milan is also keen to sign him.

Guardiola's ex-team mate Hristov Stoichkov is the one who recommended the striker to Pep. Totenham anyway are reluctant to let go their favourite player; but Berbatov wants to leave.This one news excites me as I like the striker very much. He could be the perfect centre forward for Barcelona as he is more creative than all those name which were being linked to Barcelona. And more over he comes with a proven goal scoring record. The other news in transfer market is the interest of Lyon to bring back Abidal.But this will only be materializing if Barcelona is able to find a similiar quality Left Back.

Barcelona Going For Hernanes

Have to admit that i haven't got any serious news to report on after the Euro has started. The transfer market has suddenly went a bit quiet and there was serious shortage of rumours. Anyway got hold of the some happening rumours. If you carefully analyse the rumours, Barcelona haven't shown great interest in changing the midfield too much. This may have been due to the fact that we still could not find a club for Deco. But with Scolari taking over from Grant at Chelsea, there is a high chance that Deco would move to Chelsea.So with Deco expected to move, Barcelona have approached the Sao Paulo midfielder Hernanes. It is rumoured that Barcelon would approch with a 10 million Euro bid for him. He may not be playing in the first team from the first year. So as an immediate replacement for Deco Barcelona looks more than interested in another Portugese midfielder Moutinho. Moutinho has welcomed Barcelona interest and only time will tell what will emerge from these two rumours. In case of Hernanes, Barcelona could end up spending a bit more as both Milan clubs are also interested in him.

With Scolari taking charge Chelsea has revised their interest in Ronaldinho. But Manchester City looks more determined to sign him as they are more than willing to match Barcelona's asking price. Inter Milan is interested in signing Xavi, Mourinho was not able to sign lampard and it is rumoured that he seems Xavi as an excellent prospect in that midfield. But I can write off this rumour as Barcelona will not let their hands off the club's next captain. Next in the line is the news that barcelona is going to approach valencia with a 40 million bid for Villa.

Rumours, Rumours Everywhere - Barcelona Closing on Dani Alves

After weeks of considerable and hard negotiations, Barcelona might be close to signing the Brazilian Right Back. Reports from Spain suggest that Jose Maria del Nido, president of Sevilla, might give go ahead for Barcelona signing Alves. Jose has yesterday suggested that Barcelona's interest in the player makes it difficult for him to keep the player happy in the club, especially in the wake of not qualifying for Champions League. Goal.com suggest that Sevilla demanded 35 million euros but the final deal agreed is aroud 32 million Euros.

MundoDeportivo reports that the club might have agreed to leave the player for 32 million as there was a chance of the player invoking the Article 17 of Fifa rules. From the outside 32 million could be considered a bit high for a right back, but Barcelona was desperate to sign a quality right back as Zambrotta will be leaving this season.

Martin Caceres Becomes the third Barcelona Signing

Martin Caceres has officially become the third player Barcelona have signed this season. The young Uruguay defender was signed for a whooping 16.5 million euros. The 21 tyear old signed a deal which will keep him at Nou Camp for the next four years, which also include a buy-out clause of 50 million euros. Caceres becomes the 11th Uruguayan player to represent Barcelona. Caceres started his club career with Defensor Sporting Club in Montevideo, Uruguay. In february 2007, he was signed by Villareal for five years. Villareal subsequently loaned him out in the 2007-08 season to Recreativo de Huelva. His performance at Recreativo was enough for Barcelona to take notice of him.

For Barcelona he represent a long term investment. Usually defenders improve with age and this 21 year old is set to guard Barcelona defense for sometime. With his signing Barcelona can consider to have covered the void left by an injured Milito.

Rumours Rumours Everywhere - Barcelona going in for Inzaghi

Ok, this one is the latest edition, MundoDeportivo reports that barcelona would be making a surprise move to sign Inzaghi from Milan.The reports suggest that the club is looking forward for signing an alternate striker, who could play the role of an alternate scorer and would come cheap also.The club is planning to sign either Inzaghi or the Argentinian Julio Cruz to fit in to that role. Compared to Cruz I believe Inzaghi would be a better option. But one have to ask about the sense in such a move (if it takes place).

Barcelona is reported to be in the last stage negotiations to sign Martin Caceres.His signing could give the cover for Milito who is injured and will be missing the majority of next season. One also have to question the amount of defensive minded signings. Gives me the impression that we are trying buy out our way of trouble like last season. Last season we bought Milito, Yaya and Abidal. This season Pique, Keita and most probably Martin. Barcelona under Guardiola would be expected to play a 4-3-3 formation, which will not give space for both Yaya and Keita. Whatever happens Barcelona could be in dire straits as far as signing Alves is considered. Alves is a must as Zambrotta has already signed for Milan and Villareal will not let him go cheap. To make matter worse ManU an Chelsea is also reportedly interested in him. If we don't sign him the RB available in the club is Oleguer, think that?

A C Milan looks like no more interedted in signing Ronaldinho, instaed they have taken serious interest in signing Eto. This put them in collision path with Inter who has been interested in signing him. But the fact that A C Milan would not be in CL next season may tilt the deal in Inter's favour.By the way if Ronaldinho leaves there is a high chance that he would be goint to Manchester City.

Rumours, Rumours Everywhere - Dos Santos Moving to Totenham

Goal.com has broken a story of Barcelona accepting Totenham's bid for the talented Mexican - Giovani Dos Santos. It is reported that Barcelona will receive 8 million Euros from the sale of this wonderful kid. From the beginning of the transfer window, there were lots of rumours of Gio not being in the plans of Guardiola and would be moving on. As a Barcelona fan it saddens me to see one of the Gem from the Barcelona youth system being discarded like this by the club. He has been singled out by Barcelona fans for some rough treatment and the management seems to have overcome by the fan feelings rather than wisdom. I am pretty sure that this kid is going to make Barcelona pay for this stupidity. Juande Ramos, the Totenham Manger however has a different opinion to Barcelona management. He was keen to sign the kid from the moment the news broke out that he may not be in the plans of Guardiola. Giovani is currently recovering from the ankle operation he had in May.

Barcelona is very much interested in strengthening their defense. Inter Milan's Chivu has been linked many times, but now there are claims from his agent that Chivu would be moving to Barcelona for 20 million Euros. Mourinho's arrival in Inter means there would be a huge amount of players who is going to be off loaded; Chivu could be one of them, anothe one could be Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It is certain that Mourinho will bring Drogba from Chelsea and he would be the No.1 striker also. This has unsettled Ibrahmovic and he looks like keen to move to Barcelona. For all the initial link ups with strikers like Benezema; Ibrahmovic looks the only possible signing in the striker role this summer. Any way signing Benezema would be difficult as Manchester United is reportedly interested in him.

Another player Barcelona would be trying to sign is Martin Caceres. Barcelona's initial offer for the Uruguayan central defender was rejected by Villareal. But with A C Milan signing Zambrotta, Barcelona might be going all out for Dani Alves. In the midst of all the stories emerging, one has to wonder why there is no link up with any attacking midfielders - who could replace Ronaldinho and Deco. Deco and Ronaldinho were reportedly keen to move away from Barcelona, but now the scene looks like they might stay back.
