Liverpool eye Michel Bastos, Manchester United target Neven Subotic, Sergio Ramos to England?
Liverpool eye Lyon left-back Michel Bastos
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-Bastos-c25461, the Lyon left-back. The English Premier League side have been making inquiries about the Brazilian defender and are willing to spend about €17 million to bring him to Anfield during the summer transfer
window.
According to sources close to the club, caretaker manager Kenny Dalglish is close to getting a permanent post as the Reds boss. With his new position will come more funds to strengthen the squad, with which Dalglish is reportedly set to bring in Bastos.
Liverpool already spent a fortune, by their standards, in the January transfer window when they brought in Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll for a combined £58 million. They are set to continue their spending spree to reinforce their deteriorating defense.
Bastos would be the appropriate target and a comparatively reasonable one as compared to the previous signings. The 28-year-old Brazilian is fast and possesses attacking abilities, he has seven goals and five assists for the French outfit this season.
Manchester United interested in Neven Subotic
Premier League giants Manchester United are lining up a summer move for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neven-Subotic-c27632, the Borussia Dortmund centre back. Sources reveal Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is looking to strengthen his back four at the end of the season and thinks the
Serbian international will make an excellent addition to his side.
The 22-year-old central defender is one of the most exciting upcoming players in Europe and has been essential in the German outfit’s climb to the top this season. He is contracted to Dortmund until the end of the 2014 season and is valued at an estimated
€15-20 million.
His style of play has earned him comparisons to fellow countryman http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 which is why it is predicted that he too will do well at Old Trafford. He is strong and doesn’t shy away from a challenge and has been known to score from headers, making him
a threat in the opposition’s penalty box.
Sergio Ramos linked with England move
Real Madrid defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 has been linked with a move to England, with the player’s brother and agent Rene confirming there had been interest from England and Italy. The 24-year-old has been in talks with Madrid over a contract extension but nothing
has been agreed upon as yet.
If a deal is agreed with Madrid, it will keep the central defender at the Bernabeu until 2017, but a strong interest from the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, Manchester United and AC Milan might change his mind. It remains to be seen what Ramos eventually agrees upon
but there is no doubt he will be tempted by a move away.
Rene said while speaking to reporters, “Some big clubs in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and Italy have been interested in Sergio for some time. We expect to have a meeting with the club in the next few months and to analyze the future of Sergio.”
