Inter Milan and AC Milan are set to battle it out over signing Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor. (Daily Mail)

Couldn’t see Inter Milan going for Adebayor unless a certain Swedish striker moves on this summer. Adebayor to A.C Milan is nothing new but it would all depend on if A.C Milian is willing to spend the near 30 million pound figure Arsenal will be sure to ask for.

Manchester City are stepping up their bid to take on former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan for £20m from Villarreal.
(Daily Mirror)

I’m sure the Daily Mirror means Atletico Madrid who Forlan currently plays for and not Villarreal. Anyone who scores 28 goals in La Liga will surely draw interest despire Forlan never adapting to life in England while playing for Manchester United.

Wigan have lined up a deal with Real Madrid to receive £21.5m for Latics winger Antonio Valencia. (Daily Mail)

Can’t see Real Madrid making a major move before their presidential elections are decided. Doesn’t take a physic to see Antonio Valencia’s future being away from Wigan but I have a feeling he might end up on those worst transfer of the season lists come next year.

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso could be on his way to Real Madrid for £21m if Florentino Perez returns as club president. (Daily Star)

Iker Casillas has called for more Spanish players at Real Madrid and signing Xabi Alonso would be a great place to start.

Spurs are lining up a bid for Wolfsburg’s Bosnia striker Edin Dzeko. (Daily Mail)

Thing rumors trend to happen when you score a hat trick on the weekend and have your club in first place.

Wolves are set to swoop for Standard Liege centre-half Oguchi Onyewu. (Daily Mirror)

Onyewu got a raw deal during his previous loan stint with Newcastle at the end of Glenn Roeder’s reign in 2007. The combo of his size and the fact he can be signed as a free transfer should make him appealing to Wolves and a host of other teams.

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti’s proposed move to the Chelsea managerial helm has taken a twist, with the London club reluctant to employ the Italian’s assistants Mauro Tassotti and Filippo Galli. (The Times)

I’m sure Chelsea loved signing million dollar cheques when they had to pay off Scolari’s assistants. Still would be foolish telling Ancelotti that he couldn’t bring over his back room staff to Chelsea.

Carlos Tevez’s exit from Old Trafford looks sealed after the Argentine forward failed to attend Manchester United’s player of the year dinner. (The Sun)

It was sealed when they spent 32 million on Berbatov. I’m shocked it took this long for things to get heated and public between Manchester United and Carlos Tevez.

Wigan striker Amr Zaki, who is on loan from Zamalek, insists he was the one to pull the plug on a permanent move. (Daily Mirror)

Either way Zaki was a non factor since the turn of the year. Wigan may miss his goals but won’t miss his attitude.

England midfielder David Beckham, who is on loan at AC Milan from Los Angeles Galaxy, has warned Chelsea about their potential new manager Carlo Ancelotti. Beckham said of the Milan coach: “While I have never had the hairdryer treatment from him I have seen it from him.” (The Sun)

At least never took a boot to the face from Ancelotti.

The way they run things in the back rooms at Chelsea is all kind of strange. Another case of Roman playing fantasy football? I'm surprised he isn't forcing Ancellotti to bring Shevchenko back with him.

I'm setting the over/under of players rumored to be going to Madrid at 15 this summer.

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!!!!!!!
