Manchester Utd make £63m Franck Ribery bid, David Villa to stay in Spain
The latest transfer gossip, rumours and damned lies
Franck Ribery to Manchester Utd
The Guardian claim that the Red Devils have put in a £63m bid for the handsome Bayern Munich midfielder. Sources in Germany confirm they have received the offer.
The Spoiler truth-o-meter: The sale is said to be contingent on Cristiano Ronaldo’s ungracious exit to Madrid, but the arrival of the Frenchman would surely also put a nail in the coffin of Carlos Tevez’s Old Trafford career.
David Villa to Real Madrid
After Florentino Perez “officially” announced his candidacy for the Real Madrid presidency job, a number of players are said to have made themselves available for Los Blancos. The front page of today’s Marca carries a picture of the Manchester City target under the headline “Florentino – sign me”.
The Spoiler truth-o-meter: Most believe David Villa would be happier to stay in Spain, and a bid from Madrid would surely kill any chances of a move to Eastlands.
Kaka to Manchester City
Speaking of Eastlands, The Sun are reporting that Milan officials have made a secret visit to Manchester City in the past fortnight, suggesting another ridiculous bid for the Brazilian is on the horizon.
The Spoiler truth-o-meter: Is it not possible that the Milan officials were discussing another player? Ronaldinho, perhaps? Or maybe there’s no deal on the table at all – if Mark Hughes is to be believed, City are in the habit of meeting with big clubs merely to build contacts.
