Not wishing to take such a big pay cut, Adebayor’s advisers then negotiated a pay-off with City. It is understood that is in the region of £4m paid in instalments over the two years — or approximately £40,000 a week.

Rumour Berbatov on loan to Spurs and Lewis Holtby going on loan to Fulham


It has been confirmed by @dimarzio that Pablo Daniel Osvaldo is "practically a Juve player". He arrives in Italy tomorrow. Loan with option to buy for €20 mill.

 

Porto fans must be desperate for end of transfer window. Press say they are facing a battle to keep hold of Fernando, Mangala & Otamendi.


Official: Portugal striker Hélder Postiga loaned to Lazio with option to make deal permanent at end of season.

Hugo Vieira back at club where he's always looked best, Gil Vicente. Loan deal from Braga. Straight into side to face Benfica Saturday.


The English newspaper also claims that the Premier League club has already held talks with the Finnish international, and could make a bid of around €3.5 million.

Moisander was linked with Barcelona earlier in the transfer window by Finnish media, and is highly expected to leave Ajax in the summer.

Ajax will be reluctant to allow the experienced defender to leave the club so close to the window closing, and with the club closing in on their fourth straight Eredivisie title. However should Moisander leave, Ajax have sufficient cover, with Stefano Denswil, Mike van der Hoorn, and Joel Veltman all pushing for the two centre back spots.

Any move may come down to whether Everton can offload Dutch defender John Heitinga before tomorrows deadline. According to Dutch media, Galatasaray have pulled out of any deal for the 30-year-old, and options seem to be running out for a move away from Goodison Park.

Pato's agent has revealed that Juventus have made an offer to sing him on loan, isn't happening. Deal more likely in summer.


Benfica are still trying to push Rodrigo toward Zenit, but he has Arsenal in his head, say O Jogo, and he'll wait.

Confirmed: Sporting have signed loan star Fredy Montero on a contract to 2018 from Seattle Sounders. €60m release clause. Rumored €2,5m fee. Great deal for Sporting Liga top scorer with 13 goals in 16 matches.

 

Saw that and thought it was mental. Taraabt is *, AC Milan have sunk so low.

 

Arsenal not signing Draxler. Was interest but AW unwilling to meet Schalke asking price. Only afc deal may be a loan arrival. Wenger not willing to pay the £37m release clause even tho board had given him green light to do it .

So Draxler has a decent world cup and someone will pay his £37m release clause.

 

Is it really down to the manager to decide whether a player is too expensive or not ?

 

So Spurs basically wait to see who Liverpool like and join the race for them, Holtby, Sigurdsson, Aspas, Downing, Borini, Coutinho, Sakho, Eriksen that's all the players Liverpool and Tottenham have both shown interest in 5 went to Liverpool 3 went to Spurs
