Football transfer news

After a meeting with Roy Hodgson and Javier Mascherano on Monday, Liverpool announced that Javier Mascherano can leave, if club (Inter) offers the right amount of money to Liverpool.

“Last year, he was asked to stay on for one more year, he agreed, so now it is time for him to go. It was all very pleasant and it is now a question of the two clubs who are interested in him making an acceptable offer to Liverpool,” said Roy Hodgson after the meeting.

It looks like that its just a matter of time before Mascherano signs for Inter, and with this, Liverpool will lose first and maybe not last of their main players.

Transfers expert of Sky Sports 24, Luca Marchetti, took time to speak briefly about the situation of Maicon: “Real Madrid is approaching an agreement with Inter, now the only thing missing is one with the player, but they are working on it. We know that Real was always focused on Maicon, with Mourinho pushing for his arrival, but meanwhile, the Blancos really tried to take a central defender instead. First was Vidic, but he renewed with Manchester United, then Chiellini, who renewed with Juventus, and finally Thiago Silva, who does not want to move. David Luiz remains, but he is not a big enough name for the ‘Casa Blanca’. Because of that, there was a new sharp tack…Maicon.”

The great Raul is ready to leave the Madrid club after playing in it for 15 years, the club have declared that there is going to be a farewell party for the leading goal scorer on Monday. The player had made his debut in the team in 1994 with Los Blancos, but the player had made his first appearance with Atletico Madrid.

Even though the player has a very good record playing in the club team, he never had a chance to show his performance as there were new players selected to play for the club in the last few seasons. This has been one of the reason for the player to leave the club.

Harry Redknapp was aiming to get Raul to play for his side but the player is expected to join the Schalke club in Germany. Raul leaving the club was confirmed by the officials this weekend and even Guti the midfielder is also ready to quit from team.

While City is close to signing Balotelli, it is expected that Super Mario will sign this week, Mancini is already trying to get Fernando Torres from Liverpool. Torres is not in good relationship with the owners, so his transfer to City is not so unlikely.

Rumours are saying that Liverpool wants £60million for Torres, and this is not to much for City owners. With Torres as a central forward and with Tevez and Balotelli on the side, City’s attack would be one of the best in the world.

“Torres is one of the best strikers in Europe and is already playing in the Premier League for three years and knows it very well. But it depends on his situation – his price and whether he wants to come,” said Mancini.

City are still tracking Milner but if they manage to sign both Torres and Balotelli, Milner will probably stay in Aston Villa.
