As we all know, Citizens are trying for a while to sign Inter’s problematic wonderkid Mario Balotelli, but they think that his price is to big. Rumours are saying that City has reduced the price from 30m€ to 25m€ with including Robinho, who doesnt want to return to Manchester, in a deal.

Inter would get 25m€ plus Robinho on loan for 1 year, and then if he fits fine in a team, Inter could buy him from City next year. Inter and Manchester City are playing friendly match today in Philadelphia, so it could happen that this saga will end today or maybe tomorrow.

We will inform you as soon as something happens.

Ronaldo said, Raul will also feel happy if i would wear number 7 as the player knows about my ability and what i feel about it. Ronaldo is also confident about newly appointed coach Jose Mourinho, he said the coach is the best and players in the team are also at their best level.

Vfb Stuttgart announced that Sami Khedira is no longer their player. Khedira will sign with Real Madrid for 5 years. Stuttgart will get between 10 and 14 million euros.

After Roy Hodgson left Fulham for Liverpool, Fulham already found the replacement. New coach is Mark Hughes former Manchester city manager.

“Last two seasons under Roy Hodgson were two most successfull seasons in this clubs history. I am sure that with few reinforcements in our squad we can continue on this level,” said Mark Hughes to the english press.

Now that City is buying players like there is now tommorow and with Hughes saying that he will bring some new players, it could happen that Hughes will bring some of his former players to Fulham, especcialy those, who will not be happy with their status in Manchester City.

A surprising news came from Portugal this morning. We found that Bruno Alves, the captain of Porto has signed with Zenit for a fee of €23m. Zenit also signed the serbian international and former Udinese defender, Aleksandar Lukovi?.

Alves was playing for Porto since 2001, and now 9 years later he is leaving the most sucessfull portuguese club in the last decade.

Claudio said there is a story behind every champion, whether it is easy or difficult we have to play with all the team in the tournament. In the same way Del Neri said, Inter and Roma will be facing in the fifth week which will be very interesting as both teams’ wishes to win the title.

Milan’s manager Allegri said, the opening matches are very important as many new teams have entered the tournament but we have to play with power and passion. Rafael Benitez who is new to Inter said, there are two important games which are against Roma and Juventus, we have to be ready to play with any team which is on the list and start the playing matches positively.

The team after reaching the final of Champions League in 2006 and a year later in League Cup lost had failed to get the title. Even there is criticisms about the manager that he has not spend money to get more players, but Clichy expects that the team has got some young players who can get the title this time.

He also said that a few years ago I heard that the team has to end its poor performance and start winning the matches but it still remains the same. We are always not far from the victory but end of the season we stay on the losing side. The team was 11 points behind from Chelsea in last years Premier League last season finishing third.

-Inter offered €15m + Sulley Muntari for Javier Mascherano. We are waiting for Liverpool’s response.

-Khedira almost a galactico. Sami and Real reached an agreement, now Biancos have to offer enough money to Stuttgart and Sami will be free to go.

-Maicon is very close to Real Madrid, but if things with Maicon dont turn out as Real is expecting, they already have B plan. In worst case scenario they will try to get Thiago Silva from AC Milan.

Arsene Wenger, the manager of Arsenal, has backed down the speculations regarding Fabregas’s transfer to Barcelona. Rumours from Spain were saying, that Arsenal and Barcelona found an agreement, but Wenger denied all of that.

“This is not true. Cesc is staying with us, i am 100% convinced in that. Barcelona is making noise throught the press, but we know what we want, Barcelona can forget on Fabregas,” said Wenger after being asked about Cesc’s future.

It is obvious that Barcelona will have to turn to some other player to replace Yaya Toure in the midfield. Now that Cesc is officialy unavaliable, first candidate to sign with Barca is Villareal’s midfielder Marcos Senna. We will see if that will hapen.

Real and Inter had agreed on a fee for Maicon’s transfer.  Only details are now separating Maicon to reunite with former coach at Inter, Jose Mourinho.

Balotelli on the other side, was also very close to Manchester City and he still is, but the negotiations are still undergoing, it is likely that he will sign with Citizens, but for now he is staying in Milano.

According to Gazzetta, possible replacement for Balotelli is Aguero. Inter is also very close to sign Mascherano form Liverpool.
