The latest transfer gossip, rumours and damned lies
Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona
Spanish paper Sport believe the Catalonians have already signed the over-rated Swede for €40m plus Samuel Eto’o and Alexander Hleb on loan. Joan Laporta and his cronies reportedly reached an agreement at around midnight last night. The Spoiler truth-o-meter: The rest of the Spanish press are saying the deal is imminent rather than complete, but it looks like it’s happening. Inter won’t be detterred by Eto’o’s greed as Mourinho loves him almost as much as he loves Drogba.
Alvaro Negredo to Tottenham
Determined to sign some sort of Real Madrid striker this summer, Spurs are set to shell out £15m for the 23-year-old. Spanish paper AS say a deal based around a four-year contract will be complete within 48 hours.
As Fabiana Andrade, Veronica Araujo, Ellen Cardoso and Joana Machado ably demonstrate, Adriano keeps the company of a very certain type of lady. Dani Bolina is another beauty who fulfills all three of the Flamengo striker’s strict WAG criteria: she is Brazilian, she is a dancer and she is willing to discard her clothes if a lens is pointed at her.
Model, samba dancer and TV personality Fabiana Andrade rose to fame in her native Brazil, when she claimed to have had an affair with Diego Maradona at a carnival. She hit international headlines last month when she attended Adriano’stwelve hour transvestite party. She later complimented her accommodating host:
“He is pretty and is the dream of any woman. Who would not like to be with Adriano?”
Yet another Brazilian beauty to have fallen for Adriano’s charm
This avid thong wearer (note the tan lines) goes by the name Veronica Araujo, and she shares three things in common with WAG No. 319 Ellen Cardoso and WAG No. 320 Joana Machado: she is Brazilian, she isn’t shy and she has been steamrollered by troubled Inter Milan striker Adriano.
Yesterday, we revealed the carnival dancer who is helping Adriano recover from his depression, so today it seems fitting to consider the carnival dancer who caused it. Brazilian beauty Joana Machoado has the wayward Internazionale star’s name permanently etched onto her skin, and once said:
“Adriano owns me, owns my life: if he signs for Flamengo or Chelsea, I sign for them too.”
At some point in the past few weeks, however, it appears the striker denounced ownership of his devoted lady. Joana left her ten-year-old daughter and three-year-old son in Brazil to go and live with Adriano, but now admits that this was “crazy” and that she was “not respected”.
