Real's President Perez has a Plan to kept Ramos and get De Gea



Florentino Perez has found a way to keep Sergio Ramos and bring in David De Gea on the cheap.

Reports in Spain claim De Gea and Real have reached an agreement that would see the 10-time European champions pay him a £3.5m signing on fee next summer.

In return, De Gea would not be able to negotiate a new, long term contract with United and would join Real on a free transfer.

De Gea, who is currently on United's pre-season tour of America, will be free to hold official talks with other clubs in January but has set his heart on joining Real.

Perez has guaranteed De Gea the lump tax-free lump sum and is prepared to wait until the start of next season to get the goalkeeper.

Now United chief executive Ed Woodward fears Perez will hold out for £45m for Ramos and refuse to sell him unless the Premier League giants meet the asking price.

Though Woodward is not afraid to splash the cash, but knows £45m is too much for a defender who is 29 and will have no sell-on value once he comes to the end of his Old Trafford contract.

Chelsea expected to win Arsenal and Liverpool For Pedro in £22m deal next week



CHELSEA were given the green light to sign Barcelona star Pedro and expect to complete a £22m deal next week.

Barca boss Luis Enrique admitted he will not stand in the Spain winger's way should he decides to quit for Stamford Bridge.

Enrique said: "My wish is that Pedro stays, but there are circumstances in his contract and I will respect his opinion if he wants to leave."

The Blues have already offered the 27-year-old a four-year contract and are confident of completing the transfer without a hitch.

But it cannot be finalised until after Barcelona's presidential elections take place this weekend. Anything could happen as that.

Sunday Oliseh as Nigeria's new Coach



Sunday Ogorchukwu Oliseh was born on 14 September 1974 in Abavo, Delta State. Oliseh is a former Nigerian footballer and coach, who in his active player career played as a midfielder. He recently moved to Nigeria to coach the country’s national team

A physical, technical defensive midfielder, Oliseh played for well known clubs such as AFC Ajax, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus F.C..

Oliseh played 54 international matches and scored two goals for Nigeria, and played at the Football World Cups of 1994 and 1998.
Oliseh also participated in the Olympic gold medal winning team of 1996.

He is mostly remembered for scoring the winning goal in the group stage match against Spain in the 1998 World Cup, as Nigeria prevailed 3–2. A throw-in deep in the Spanish half was headed clear by a defender – Oliseh ran and fired an explosive shot from 25 yards and took Spanish goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta completely by surprise.

In spite of being the captain for the Nigeria team during the 2002 African Cup of Nations, Oliseh was omitted from his country’s World Cup squad later that year for disciplinary reasons. After missing out on World Cup selection, Oliseh retired from international football in June 2002.
In March 2004, Oliseh was sacked by Borussia Dortmund after punching team-mate Vahid Hashemian while on loan at VfL Bochum.

In January 2006, at the age of 31, Oliseh retired from professional football after playing a half season for Belgian top club K.R.C. Genk.

Man U wants Cavani for Di Maria



Argentina international Di Maria had claimed he was keen to stay at Old Trafford and fight for a place after a miserable debut season at Old Trafford but is understood to have changed his mind following PSG's approach and is now keen to move to France after failing to settle in England.

United have spent £80m on Bastian Schweinsteiger, Morgan Schneiderlin, matteo Darmian and Memphis Depay but are still in pursue of a striker following Robin van Persie's move to Fenerbahce.

Edinson Cavani could join Manchester United if Angel Di Maria goes the other way in a £50m move
Even though manager Louis van Gaal is reluctant to sell Di Maria - who he bought for a British record (ransfer fee of £59.7m 11 months ago - he will sanction a move if the player tells him he wants to go and he can land Cavani in return.

PSG bosses have held provisional talks with Di Maria's representatives and are willing to meet his wage demands of £200,000 a week.

Di Maria is on a three-week break after the Copa America but could join United's tour here in time for their friendly with PSG in Chicago on July 26.

Roma start Dzeko chase



The Italian team, Roma, has jetted into Manchester to attempt to finalise a deal for Edin Dzeko.
Manchester Evening News reports that Edin Dzeko could be heading to the Serie A this summer.

The Premier League giants reportedly rejected Roma’s initial £9 million offer after setting the Bosnian's valuation at least £21 million.

Dzeko's place in the City squad has come under increased scrutiny after the arrivals of first, Wilfried Bony, and now Raheem Sterling..

Dzeko joined City in 2011 for £27 million and has gone on to score 50 goals in 130 appearances in the light blue of Manchester City.

The 29-year-old striker may now be let go this summer if Roma can agree a fee.

Roma want City to compromise at £12 million which will allow the Citizens to reduce their wage bill by £160,000-a-week
