Coach Van Gaal has spoken to His assistant Ryan Giggs about the future of several first team players at united and thinks some need to be offloaded to fund coming player.Ryan Giggs is known as a fan of Danny Welbeck but the English player might have to be off-loaded this summer to fund for coming players.With rumors that Edinson Cavani and Kevin Strootman are linked to a Manchester United this transfer window,for sure Welbeck might not have a chance.The best thing is for Him to accept a move to Everton were He will be assured of enough playing time.(soccerheatbase)

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone is worried about loosing His player to big clubs this summer.Atletico had an amazing season beating Barcelona and Real Madrid to the La Liga crown this season.After some outstanding performances by the Atletico squad it seems the big clubs of world football are interested in buying the players.Diego Simeone has told the Atletico board to please try and keep the team together so they can build on the successful season they had.

DIEGO COSTA-The Spaniard is set to join Chelsea anytime soon ,only the preparations of the World Cup has got in His way.He already signed a pre-contract, if anything gets in the way of His move to Chelsea he will be charged.

THIBAUT COURTOIS- The young goalkeeper is set to return to Chelsea and take Petr Ceck's place as first selection goalkeeper.He would have been happy to stay at Atletico but with Mourinho creating a much younger squad He is needed at Chelsea.

ARDA TURAN-The midfielder is on high demand.With teams like Manchester United and Real Madrid hunting the midfielder.Its hard to say they will not bid after the world cup.

KOKE-The 22 year old midfielder is highly rated and would add to any squad.He is wanted by Manchester united,Chelsea and Barcelona.With all teams ready to bid just after the World cup
RAUL GARCIA-The midfielder is uncertain with His future,But if a big clubs comes along we cant say if He will still be with Atletico.

FILIPE LUIS-The defender is being watched by Chelsea.Jose Mourinho is ready to spend big on the defender but Diego Simeone said the defender is not for sale.Will He be able to say no to Chelsea.
We are all wondering if the Atletico Madrid squad we saw this season will still be around come 3rd September.(soccerheatbase)

SANCHEZ LINKED WITH MOVE TO PREMIER LEAGUE

                         

Alexis Sanchez has been linked to several teams in the Premier League,it seems the Chilean has failed to adapt to the playing style of Barcelona.The Chilean has found it difficult breaking it to the starting line-up for Barcelona,He is usually used as a substitute.With the arrival of Neymar last season limited several forward's playing time at Barcelona.It seems Sanchez can not adapt to the tick-tack playing style of Barcelona,He would do better in the Premier League because His playing style is common in the League,He enjoys taking the ball wide and running against defenders,His not a player who will stop look up and pass the ball here and there no.He has great speed,accuracy and power and would do great in the Premier League.

The Chilean striker netted 21 goals and had 17 assists last season but for a player of his quality that is not good enough,He lucks playing time and would do better at a team were He is considered the way Messi is considered at Barcelona.With Liverpool and Manchester united as the main teams interested in Him its hard to say that He will not consider the move to England.Barcelona's new coach also searching for a striker,they would consider selling Sanchez as a funding for the new striker.Its sad to see such talent go to waste,but under management like Liverpool's or Manchester's its hard to say He will still be in the shadows but we all know its better for the Chilean striker to leave the catalans.

We have all noticed Sanchez plays some of His best football with the Chilean national team and can still improve,lets hope it wont be to late when He will realize its time to move on and improve His career.They have been no comments from the striker yet as He is training with His national team for the World cup.

LIVERPOOL AND TOTTENHAM BATTLE FOR RYAN BERTRAND SIGNATURE

                   

Spurs are set to try and sneak Chelsea left-back Ryan Bertrand to white hart lane.Pochettino is set to start strengthening His squad starting from the back line,with Chelsea's 24 year old left back set to leave Stamford bridge,Liverpool were the first to show interest in the player but it seems Tottenham are ready to battle for His services,The Tottenham manager was set to bring Luke Shaw to White hart lane but with the player linked to united the manager has thought of Ryan as a perfect replacement.

The left-back, who spent the second half of last season on loan with Aston Villa.With the departure of Ashley Cole and Ivanovic a doubt for next season.We thought Mourinho would look at the player as a suitable replacement for one of the two departing defenders.But with the Chelsea defender being worth 6 million pounds,He would add on to the money Mourinho wants to reshape His whole team.The Manager is looking to reduce the age of his players and has turned to Madrid defender Varane as the chosen replacement for the departing Ashley Cole.

The Chelsea manager wants to re-structure his back line and sees no future for Ryan Bertrand in his future plans.So we might see the defender join either Liverpool or Tottenham before 2nd September unless a better offer comes along.

ROBIN VAN PERSIE SAYS HE DOES NOT REGRET LEAVING ARSENAL FOR MANCHESTER UNITED

The dutch striker says He does not regret leaving Arsenal for Manchester united.The 30 year old won His first league title with united just 12 months after joining old trafford,netting 26 premier league goals and being awarded the golden boot.

The striker repeatedly said that he did not go for the money,but thought Manchester united would take his career a bit more further and was happy winning a medal just after 1 season with the mighty club,and he continued by saying am a gunner and a part of me will always miss playing at arsenal,i love Arsene Wenga,i love Arsenal,i love the players,but am also a winner and i thought it was time for me to win some trophies.

The striker that costed Sir Alex Ferguson 24 million pounds had impressed Ferguson with his strike rate that he had the last 18 months he spent with Arsenal.

But no matter what Van Persie says the Arsenal fans still think of him as a traitor and will always say he walked out on them when they needed him the most

United have struggled since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson,netting only the community shield in there trophy cabinet.The replacement of Ferguson failed to live up to expectations,being sucked only after 10 months.with Robin Van Persie being sidelined for most of the crucial points of the season,it still leaves the people to wonder if the striker was always available for David Moyes he might have just been the one to save Moyes's job.

Now Robin Van Persie will have to look forward to impressing the new Manchester United manager,who is no stranger to Him.Louis Van Gaal is the current Netherlands coach and gives Van Persie an upper hand against the other Manchester players,because if he can impress him at the World Cup.Only time will tell.(soccerheatbase.com)

MANCHESTER UNITED HUNT ARJEN ROBBEN

                                               

New Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal is interested in Dutch winger Robben.He plans on making Him His main target for the summer. Robben's contract does not expire until 2017 but that does not seem to change the mind of of the Manchester United coach,as he tries to make Robben his first major signing after taking over from David Moyes.

Since the appointment of Van Gaal united are looking foward to signing big names from the Netherlands World Cup squad including Bruno Martins Indi,Daley Blind and Wesley Sneijder, but is seems Robben who won the Champions league with Bayern by beating Dortmund,is highly rated and could cost united over 30 million pounds.

Louis Van Gaal thinks Arjen Robben would add to his attacking force of Rooney and Van Persie who is in the same National Team as Robben and this would be an advantage for Van Gaal to use come next season if he signs Robben

But with them in the same camp Van Persie and Van Gaal might just convince Robben to sign for united.We have all been expecting some comments on the interest of Robben from Bayern coach Pep Guardiola,the former Barcelona coach has been quet after hearing the interest from united,might this mean He might be interested in selling the winger while His still highly rated and might cost united a lot of money to bring to the theater of dreams.I guess we have to wait for the end of 2nd September if Robben will wear a Bayern badge or United badge.(soccerheatbase)

ARSENE WENGER TRIES TO HOLD ON TO RAMSEY

.
Barcelona are not the only team interested in signing the player,rumors say even Bayern are hunting the midfielder,there doubts weather Toni Kroos will join united or not,new manager Van Gaal does not seem interested in the German midfielder,Toni Kroos was a target for former Manchester manager David Moyes,it seems Real Madrid are also interested in the midfielder and Bayern see Ramsey as a suitable replacement for the midfielder.

Barcelona is offering Arsenal there former captain Fabregas back to the Emirates and are willing to woo Arsene Wenger by offering Fabregas plus top-up for Ramsey.But the Arsenal Manager will not give up without a fight for his player.Arsene Wenger has said he is not interested in signing his former Captain back to the club,but would be forced to do so if Ramsey was to decide to leave the London club.with to giant clubs after you we doubt if Ramsey will manage to turn down Barcelona and Bayern when they make official bids.

PETR CECH MIGHT NOT BE A CHELSEA PLAYER NEXT SEASON

There are rumors surrounding Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech that Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho does not need Him at Stamford bridge anymore,the 32 year old goalkeeper joined Chelsea in 2004 winning three Premier league,a Champions league,Europa league and 2 FA cups.

Petr Cech has played 470 games for Chelsea and has a record were He kept a clean sheet for over nine games.But with Mourinho trying to freshen up his squad.Cech is not sure if he has a place in coach Mourinho's plans.He is very loved by the Chelsea supporters and by His teammates.but He does not want to play second choice for anyone.

With Chelsea's Belgium goalkeeper Thilbault Courtois set to return to the Bridge,Cech doubts if He will have the same playing time as He had in the past seasons. Thilbault Courtois enjoyed a superb season at Atletico Madrid winning the La Liga and runner ups to Real Madrid in the Champions League.The youngster might just take Cech's place.(soccerheatbase)

WHO IS THE RIGHT MAN TO PARTNER COSTA WITH.'MOURINHO WONDERS.'

Diego Costa is set to arrive in London after the World cup,an amount of 35 million pounds has been agreed by both clubs and Diego Costa is expected to join the players and staff of Chelsea after the world cup.Mourinho prefers a formation with 2 strikers leading the attack,but with Torres,Ba and Eto'o not expected to be at the bridge next season.The Chelsea manager wonders who will partner Costa up-front.

The Chelsea manager has had His eyes on 3 specific targets He thinks would be perfect to partner with Costa up-front these three targets are Loic Remy,Wilfried Bony and Romelu Lukaku,all players have been under the radar as Chelsea just waits for Mourinho to point 1 and make the expected bid.

Lukaku is back after a very impressive load-spell at Everton scoring 17 goals in 31 appearances for the club.But we are not sure if coach Jose Mourinho will give the Belgium a chance to prove him self this season.Wilfried Bony is another target for the Chelsea manager.The manager thinks the Ivorian striker would be a good addition to the squad,with Bony saying its a dream of his to play for Chelsea.Loic Remy currently with QPR is on Mourinho's wishlist with the striker seeking Champions League football the bridge might just be right for him.Mourinho understands that Arsenal are also on the tail of the duo trying ti sign both Loic Remy and Wilfried Bony so if the Chelsea manager would like to sign one of them He better act fast.(soccerheatbase)

Morata said,He respects both Arsenal and Juventus very much and thinks Italy is the next destination in his career,he said yes his sure one day he will want to play in England but not anytime soon,but with the transfer season full of surprises we might just see drama unfold between the three clubs we might see Morata with next season,its not confirmed that Morata has signed for Juventus but hopefully they will reach an agreement this Monday.(soccerheatbase)

LIVERPOOL TARGET MARCELO

Liverpool coach Brendan Rodgers is targeting Real Madrid left-back Marcelo.At the moment Juventus has an upper hand against Liverpool over signing Marcelo.Marcelo's contract runs out next year,so its better that Madrid cash in on the defender now,so they can have more income to sign other players.The Red's have made a £16 million pound bid for the services of Sevilla left-back Alberto Moreno and are also said to be keen on signing Marcelo aswell. With rumors saying Glen Johnson might leave the club this summer Brendan Rodgers sees Marcelo as a suitable replacement.

Marcelo did not get as much playing time as He is used to,Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti prefers Fabio Coentrao's defensive qualities compared to the brazilians and the defender spent most of his time on the bench.Real Madrid are ready to let go of the defender.The Brazilian has not commented on the rumors yet,He is currently training with his Brazilian teammates preparing for the World cup,he would be such a great addition to the Liverpool squad if he decided to come to England.(soccerheatbase)

LUKE SHAW SET TO SIGN FOR MANCHESTER DESPITE SOME RUMORED INTEREST FROM CHELSEA

18-year-old Southampton left-back is set to sign for Manchester United despite some interests from Chelsea. Manchester United are the only team who have shown major interest in Southampton  left-back Luke Shaw.Manchester United have placed a 27 million pound bid on the English youngster.With England coach Roy Hodgson banning the media and reporters from the camp no one has had a chance to get Shaw's views on the interest from united.

The last words Shaw said were that He was happy with the interest from united and is glad such an important team in World football is interested in Him,He would love to play beside the great players old trafford has to offer.

It is reported that Chelsea are planning to steal show's signature before he sign for united.Chelsea have released there long serving left-back Ashley Cole and with only Spain's Cesar Azpilicueta able to play the position as he did,although he is said to be a right back.Despite the renewal of Evra's contract almost both teams are certain that He will sign for United.

But with the World Cup just in a few days we can not be too sure he will sign for United, because the transfer window has shocked the world several times,but we just have to wait and see if He will sign for united before 2nd September which marks the end of the transfer window.(soccerheatbase.com)
