Transfer Market: all the January 2010 trades in Serie A

Transfer market Juventus: Juventus reached an agreement with Udinese for the transfer of the young midfielder Antonio Candreva, whose property is splitted with Livorno.

Juventus, in the middle of a crisis with 4 loss in the last 5 matches, try to repair the emergency in the middle of the field. The “bianconeri” want Candreva, a young player of Livorno that has already two presences in the National team with Marcello Lippi.

Candreva is actually in Livorno, but the property is splitted half and half with Udinese. Juventus just reached an agreement with Udinese for 8,5 millions. To close the negotiation they have to satisfy the requests of Livorno. The tuscany team ask for players: probably Albin Ekdal (actually in Siena) and Marcelo Zalyeta. In the next hours we will see if the negotiation ends with a positive result for Juventus.

2010 football free agents in Serie A

Transfer market Inter: Wesley Sneijder leaves Real Madrid and lands Inter.

After a long, exhausting shilly-shally, Sneijder finally signed a contract with Inter. The Dutch midfielder left Madrid and will be soon available for Mourinho. He will probably play Saturday the derby against AC Milan.

Inter payed for Sneijder 15 million Euros. For him a 5 years contract worth 4 millions per year. This is probably going to be the last market operation for Inter this year.

Sneijder, born 1984, is an offensive midfielder, but he can play also back. He has a good set pieces skill. Before Real Madrid he played in Ajax and with the national team. With the “Orange” he played 55 matches and scored 11 goals.

Sneijder lands Inter

Transfer Market: it’s Chelsea time. Abramovic is ready to spend more than 100 million Euros to have Andrea Pirlo from A.C. Milan, Frank Ribery and Sergio Aguero.

The news came out on the Daily Mail: Andrea Pirlo is going to land Chelsea. That’s what Mr. Ancelotti asked to Abramovic. The russian President of the London team wants a competitive team for the next year. For this reason is ready to sell Pizarro and 15 millions to Milan for Andrea Pirlo.

Chelsea is also interested to buy Ribery from Bayern Munich and Aguero from Atlético de Madrid. But for the first one an agreement seems to be difficult.

Milan transfer: Pirlo soon to Chelsea

Inter transfer market: the Italian champions reached an official agreement with Samuel Eto’o, Barcelona bomber, who’s going to substitute Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The news was known, but seemed that Inter and the player were far to reach an agreement. Today is official: Eto’o signed for the Moratti’s team a contract of 10,5 million Euros p/year for the next 5 years. Eto’o agent, Mesalles, said:

“It’s done, we reached an agreement with Inter. The only problem is the golden handshake of Barcelona. This should be solved in a week”.

This agreement now open the door for the transfer of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona (the clubs already reached an agreement) for 50 million Euros (plus Eto’o and the loan of Hleb). The swedish didn’t sing yet for the Barça, but his agent is working to define the terms. This will be one of the greatest market operation of this year, together with the transfers of Kakà, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema to Real Madrid of Perez.

Inter transfer: reached an agreement with Eto’o

Transfer market Internazionale Fc: in these days Inter made several market operations that completely changed the team. The last news was the sale of Ibrahimovic to Barcelona.

Internazionale had in the last few days a lot of contacts with the Barcelona for several players. Yesterday officialized the sale of Maxwell to Blaugrana. The brazilian left-back signed a contract with Barca for 4 million Euros per year. To Internazionale 4,5 millions.

Also yesterday Bayern Munich officialized the transfer of Lucio to Internazionale. However this news is not officialized yet by the Milan’s team.

But the last news is the most important: Zlatan Ibrahimovic lands Barcelona. The spanish team buyed him for 45 million Euros, the player Samuel Eto’o and the loan of Hleb. The final decision will be taken after the acceptance of the players involved in the trade.

Barcelona signed Ibrahimovic

Milan transfers: the society of Silvio Berlusconi, finally, accomplished its first big market purchase. A.C. Milan signed the free agent, american defender, Oguchi Onyewu.

A.C. Milan officialized the purchase of the 27 years old Onyewu. The player was at the end of the contract with the Standard Liège. The central defender is originally from Nigeria (with belgium passport), but plays in the US national team. He recently impressed during the last Confederations Cup.

Onyewu signed a 3 years contract, and will be a Milan player until June the 30th 2012.

Here the official announcement on the AC Milan website:

AC Milan announces to have signed defender OGUCHI ONYEWU, from Standard Liège, at the end of his contract. The player, who played the American national team, is also in possession of the Belgian passport and signed a contract which expires on June 30 2012. This operation proves once again the excellent friendship between our club and Standard Liege, and in particular, with vice president Luciano D’Onofrio.

It is too hard to think that Onyewy will replace the departure of Kakà. But this is the first piece of a series of purchases. Good news for Leonardo and his defense.

Milan tranfer: signed Onyewu.

Juventus transfers: it seems that “bianconeri” have decided which will be the next additional support for the midfield, Felipe Melo (player of Fiorentina).

After the exhausting negotiation with Udinese for Gaetano D’Agostino, Juventus changed its plans for the midfielder to buy for Ciro Ferrara. The target is now Felipe Melo.

Melo has recently signed a new contract with Fiorentina that include a rescission clause of 25 million Euros. It seems that Juventus has a deal with the player, while the two societies are starting now the negotiation. For this reason the first step has been the transfer and the co-ownership of Marco Marchionni to Fiorentina.

On the Fiorentina’s website there’s the following dispatch:

Fiorentina has defined the agreement for the acquisition as co-ownership of Marco Marchionni from Juventus Fc. In the followin days will be defined the terms with the player.

The negotiation for Felipe Melo seems now possible, also because Juventus could gives to Fiorentina also Grygera (Fiorentina is searching for a left-back) and, probably, the young Michele Paolucci, who played this year in Catania. Juventus can also put a sum from 10 to 15 million Euros. Next wednesday Secco and Corvino are going to meet each other. Melo is going to be a Juventus player.

Juventus transfer: Felipe Melo get closer, Marchionni to Fiorentina

Transfer Market: Real Madrid marked another great purchase buying Karim Benzema from Lyon for 35 million euros.

The news is official, the Real of Florentino Perez, after the sign of Kakà (presented yesterday at Santiago Bernabeu) from AC Milan for 68 million euros and the record of Cristiano Ronaldo for 93 milions, signed another Galactico: the french scorer Karim Benzema. Benzema has been requested also from Manchester Unitesd, but merengues come first.

Lyon officialized today on its website the transfer. Benzema is now a Real Madrid player for 35 millions. But for some clause the sum could reach 41 millions.

Florentino Perez is building an incredible team. Besides Kakà, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, Perez bought also the defender Albiol and follows the spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso of Liverpool (also Juventus has a contact). Galacticos are coming back; for sure Real Madrid needs now to sell someone: these could be Diarra, Sneijder, Van Nistelrooy and Drenthe.

Who will stop Real Madrid next year?
