Football Rumours

It is that time of the season again when the rumour mill is abuzz with stories of players moving all around the place. The transfer window reopens in two days’ time and here is an attempt to keep you updated with the latest rumours.

Liverpool are looking to manufacture a loan move for former United hitman Ruud van Nistelrooy. United on the other hand are looking for goalkeeping reinforcements. They are readying a £20m bid for Lyon custodian Hugo Lloris. United are also keeping tabs on Everton’s Jack Rodwell and centre defender Bruno Alves, after it has emerged that Nemanja Vidic could jump ship and move to Real Madrid when the window opens.

Roberto Mancini’s arrival at Manchester City will surely spark a round of transfer deals. Mancini is reportedly interested in Palermo’s Danish centre half Simon Kjaer. Also on his list are Inter defender Ivan Cordoba, Juventus hard man Giorgio Chiellini, striker Antonio Cassano and veteran midfielder Dejan Stankovic. Mancini will also be forced to take a call on the Joe Hart situation, with Birmingham pushing to make his deal permanent. Arsene Wenger is thought to be interested in Craig Bellamy, but the Welsh international has expressed his desire to continue for City.

Owen Coyle’s Burnley are close to signing Algeria captain Yazid Mansouri for £1m from Lorient in the French League while Blackburn may lose Benni Mccarthy who is a surprise target for Birmingham City. Wolves are eyeing a move for Derby County winger Kris Commons.

Middlesbrough boss Gordon Strachan is set to raid his former club Celtic. He is readying a £6mn bid for the services of Stephen McManus, Barry Robson and Scott McDonald. And finally, it comes as no surprise that Wenger has his eyes on yet another young talent as he steps up his bid to sign 15-year-old QPR striker Raheem Sterling.
