speculation from Tottenham Hotspur at the start of the transfer window but after being out priced in the deal, Spurs have backed out of a move.

of Porto striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276, for a fee close to 35-million-pounds and have reportedly had a €20 million bid accepted for Osvaldo.

will try his best to lure him to the Stadio Olimpico Rome in the next few days. Enrique was initially interested in signing Villarreal striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nilmar-c28044, but it seems that the two clubs have failed to agree terms for him.

disciplinary proceedings, according to the internal rulebook the players with a contract must respect."
Osvaldo joined the Parakeets on-loan from Bologna in the January transfer window of 2010 and was signed permanently at the end of the season. The former Atlanta star had a fantastic 2010/11 campaign and scored 13 goals in 24 appearances.
