Transfer Gossip, 4th November
Forlan To Stay At Atletico Madrid
According to recent reports Diego Forlan has every intention of staying at Atletico Madrid. The Liverpool, Tottenham and Inter Milan target has supposedly decided against a move away from Atletico Madrid, claimed his agent in an interview.
He told reporters, “We have not had, and we do not have contacts with Inter or with other teams. Diego is focused exclusively on Atletico Madrid, to whom he is tied until 2013. The Premier League is a great league, but saying this I am expressing my personal
opinion.”
The former Manchester United striker fuelled speculation that he could possibly be leaving Atletico Madrid, if any good offers came along. The Uruguayan said in a statement that he was open to good offers and would consider a move in the January transfer
window.
Forlan has an efficiency ratio this term of a goal of assist ever 207.7 minutes this season and despite being 31 years old, he is considered one of the best strikers. Forlan won the Golden Ball award in the 2010 World Cup and since then has been in demand
by Europe’s elite.
Suarez Wants To Join Barcelona Not Manchester United
According to Luis Suarez’s brother, the player is dying to join Spanish giants Barcelona. Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus have all been linked with the 23 year old Uruguayan player and he had previously hinted that he would like to move to
United, but now he seems to have changed his mind.
Paolo Suarez told reporters, “It is his dream to play there,” He was of course referring to Barcelona. He said his brother always dreamed of playing with Lionel Messi, David Villa and the rest of the team. The 23 year old is well aware that he has what it
takes to play for Europe’s elite and apparently the Uruguayan would prefer Barcelona over Manchester United.
Suarez is having yet another amazing season with Ajax; he has an efficiency ratio of a goal or assist every 75 minutes this season. His contract will expire at the end of the 2012-2013 season and is valued at around €20 million - 30 million. Since Ajax are
having financial issues, there is a possibility that they could be forced to sell their star striker.
