Mourinho: Give me Maicon and Kolarov

Jose Mourinho told the press that he doesn’t count much on Marcelo, and that Ramos is better as central defender along with Pepe.

He wanted Kolarov at Inter, the same situation is here: “I like that player a lot.”

But before Jose took Real M., Kolarov said: “I only want Inter Milan!”

We will see if he’s gonna change his mind now, otherwise, they will sign Vargas from Fiorentina. The price for both (each) is around €20m.

About Maicon: “I would lie if I would say I don’t want Douglas. Maybe it’s time for him to change environment.”

Agent of Maicon said that he could be Real Madrid’s player for €30m, but Inter won’t even talk under €40m bid.

Agent was spoted these days at Inter FC office, closing deal with them about “new Maicon” from Uruguay.

But, until now, Maicon only said: “I’m happy here at Inter, and I’ll only leave if Inter want’s to sell me. I won triple, and all I can say is that I want to win this season one more, and that’s with Brazil on WC.”

Two season’s ago, Real Madrid offered €50m for Brazilian, but Inter refused to sell him. Now when they are Champions League winners, it would be silly to sell him for €30m, more likely, they will ask €60m.

But FC Internazionale still has no coach, so they won’t rush, as they want to talk with the new coach about transfer plans.

In four seasons at FC Inter, Maicon played 174 times. We suggest you watch this video clip (goals and assists for Inter this season):

Mourinho official Real Madrid coach

Jose Mourinho was presented today as new Real Madrid manager, this is what he told media’s about transfer romours:

“A club’s identity has nothing to do with nationality. The club’s identity is never going to change and the footballing identity is something I will develop with my players. I don’t want to speak of players because when Real Madrid’s coach speaks about a player, that player’s price goes up €10 million more. I am happy with the basic squad from last year and we don’t need dramatic changes, just three or four players to make a team with better chances of adapting to an ideal style of play. It will not be a summer to write about new signings at Real Madrid; I think it will be a bit more calm.”

City on Spain and Italy market

Manchester City are launching a £65 million bid for Barcelona pair Yaya Toure and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Daily Star says Roberto Mancini wants to make sure the team never miss out on Champions League football again.

He has targeted Swedish striker Ibrahimovic, who Barca are prepared to sell for £50m.

They only snapped him up last summer for £60m from Inter Milan, with Samuel Eto’o going the other way.

Mancini has worked with Ibrahimovic at the San Siro, and would like him to lead the line at Eastlands.

While City have tentatively looked at 28-year-old Ibrahimovic, they are further down the road with Toure.

Central defender Kolo Toure has talked to Mancini about bringing his brother to the club. The fact City are not in the Champions League could be a problem, but the £150,000-a-week wages on offer to both players could overcome that issue.

Manchester City remain hopeful of convincing Valencia winger David Silva about a move to Eastlands.

The Guardian says Silva is known to favour a move to Real Madrid but City are hoping their financial muscle can persuade him to move to Manchester as part of a projected new-look midfield.

City’s manager, Roberto Mancini, stressed during an end-of-season meeting with Garry Cook, Brian Marwood and the chairman, Khaldoon al-Mubarak, in Abu Dhabi that his team needed more creativity.

Transfer romours with AC Milan:

AC Milan are launching a bid for Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Mail on Sunday says the Italians made their first move for Manchester City’s powerful African forward earlier this week when the two clubs met to consider an offer for AC’s Brazilian forward Alexandre Pato.

The bid for the 20-year-old was dismissed by Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani, who then enquired about Adebayor, the highest-paid player on the Eastlands staff.

Milan accept the Togo international will cost them at least the £25million City paid Arsenal for him a year ago.

Judging by the approach the Eastlands club made for Nikola Zigic before the Valencia striker joined Birmingham for £6m, however, it is clear they are prepared to offload Adebayor. He scored 14 goals in 25 Premier League appearances last season.

The agent of Ronaldinho admits his future at AC Milan remains in doubt.

Ronie is unhappy at proposals to reduce his wages over the final few years of his contract.

“We have no meeting planned with Milan, so we must wait and see what happens,” said agent Roberto De Assis.

“Clearly Milan must decide what to do. Any offers come in to the club and not to us, so it’s entirely up to them on how to proceed.”

Manchester City were linked with Ronaldinho last week. (Source)

Agent: Dzeko close to City

Edin Dzeko is very close to sign for Manchester City according to popular agent from west Europe.

“Edin Dzeko is closer to Manchester City then AC Milan. Even if Russian investitor came in for AC Milan it will be hard to offer what Vlf asks. I think he will end in Man City.”

Asking Edin when and where he will end:

“Nogotiations – until the end of next month. Where – I can’t tell you.”

Jose Mourinho decided – time for next challenge

“My work here is done. I have made history with this club. I will find motivations in another big club. Playing against Barcelona in Spain? That would be a big challenge,” he told the Rai Sport after the game.

“I have been very happy at Inter, but not in the world of Italian football because I don’t like all the comments from presidents, coaches and papers. But, I will always like Inter,” he added.

“I want to thank Italian football because I have become a better coach for it. Now it’s time for me to take a day or two to think about a new challenge in another country.

“I have given everything for this team and I feel free to make a decision on my future. I want to become the first coach to win the Champions League with three different clubs. Only Real Madrid are interested in me but I have not signed any contract yet.”

Asked whether he would be joining Real Madrid he told Sat.1: “Yes.”

Captain Javier Zanetti: “I am really sad that Mourinho has decided to leave, but this is his choice. We must respect his decision, and unfortunately we are saying goodbye to a great coach and a great man.”
