28/05/2004. Selon Olivier Jouannaux, l´agent de Philippe Mexès, le transfert du libéro auxerrois à Rome n´est pas acquis. Malgré la présence de l´international français en Italie ces derniers jours, aucun accord définitif n´aurait été scellé.

« Pour Mexès, il y a aussi la Juventus et l´un des trois plus grands clubs du championnat d´Angleterre sur les rangs » a déclaré l´agent. Selon lui, le grand espoir du football français n´aurait aucune préférence entre ces différents clubs, souhaitant seulement « faire progresser sa carrière ».

L´hypothèse de la Juventus se serait renforcée en même temps qu´aurait refroidie celle de la Roma, en raison de la nomination de Fabio Capello à la tête de la Vieille Dame. Le technicien apprécierait beaucoup Mexès qu´il voulait faire venir à Rome comme successeur de Samuel.

En ce qui concerne le club anglais concerné, il s´agirait soit de Manchester United, Alex Ferguson suivant le joueur depuis plusieurs années, soit d´Arsenal, qui cherche un partenaire à Sol Campbell en défense centrale.

ya des rumeurs pour nous sur tous les defenseurs qui sont sur le marché.

05/28/2004. Serbia and Montenegro striker Savo Milosevic is close to joining Atletico Madrid.

The player impressed on loan at Celta Vigo last season, and it is believed that he has almost agreed to join the Calderon club.

However, before he does so, he must negotiate his departure from Parma - the club that own him.

Atletico coach in waiting Cesar Ferrado has approved the deal.

GRAILLE: UNITED TO SIGN HEINZE

Paris Saint Germain president Francis Graille thinks Gabriel Heinze is likely to complete his proposed move to Manchester United, even though Valencia are also reportedly keen on the Argentina international.

Sir Alex Ferguson has targeted the unspectacular 26-year-old stopper, who will miss the French Cup final with Chateauroux due to his international commitments.

Graille is ready to do business with United despite relations between the two clubs becoming strained during The Red Devils´ failed bid to land PSG´s star turn Ronaldinho last summer.

" We are keeping in touch with Manchester United´s chief executive ( David Gill)," Graille told PA International.

" I am confident but we will see what happens in the coming days."

Chelsea tried to sign Heinze in January and the player expressed a determination to represent a major club.

" Now Chelsea is the chance of my whole life," he said at the time.

" It is a massive club with very important ambitions.

" Everyone dreams of one day playing for a big team."

The former Real Valladolid man is capable of playing in his usual role of centre back or also at left back which could explain Ferguson´s interest in the player.

The Scot has been using John O´Shea as a makeshift left back since Mikael Silvestre´s switch to the middle and it may transpire, when Rio Ferdinand returns from suspension, that Heinze is being earmarked for a left-sided role at Old Trafford.

05/17/2004. The draw for the first and second round of the Champions League preliminary round will be held on the 30th of June and the matches held on the 14th and 21st of July ( first round) and 28th of July and 4th of August ( second round).

From these encounters, there will be 16 teams which will play 16 other teams who have qualified directly to the third round, including Manchester United, Liverpool, Juventus, Inter and Rangers.

The draw for the third round will be held on the 30th of July.

Forlan admits defeat at United
Diego Forlan has accepted his Manchester United days are over following Alan Smith´s arrival - but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has vowed to stay and fight for a place. United expect to make a big loss on Forlan, who joined for £7million from Independiente in 2002. They will be lucky to recoup £2m and may have to let him go out on a season-long loan. Solskjaer wants to stay to convince Sir Alex Ferguson he can rediscover his best form after five months out with a knee injury.

Forlan to Copa a transfer
Diego Forlan hopes playing in the Copa America with Uruguay this summer will help him get a move away from Manchester United. Forlan has been pushed down the pecking order at Old Trafford by Alan Smith´s arrival and Villareal have joined Real Zaragoza and Malaga in the hunt for the striker.

Fergie´s big sell
Sir Alex Ferguson will start his Old Trafford clearout after splashing out £7m on Leeds striker Alan Smith this week. And that spells the end for a host of under-achieving fringe players headed by England star Nicky Butt and £7.5m misfit Diego Forlan. A major question mark hangs over David Bellion who has been a major flop since signing from Sunderland.

Liam Miller produced a man-of-the-match performance against Romania and then hailed Roy Keane, the man many believe he will replace at Old Trafford.
Miller, who is leaving Celtic to join Manchester United, was outstanding in his first home start for the Irish.

United linked with Monaco star

MANCHESTER United have been linked with a big money move for Monaco fullback Patrice Evra.

The Reds have already signed Alan Smith and are thought to be close to concluding a deal for centre back Gabriel Heinze, but, according to reports, they are also in the market for talented young defender Evra.

The left back was a key player as Monaco reached the Champions League final and was named as the French league´s Young Player of the Season following a series of mature displays.

However, United will face competition from Juventus should they try to sign the 23-year-old, the Italian giants having already made a reported £6 million bid.

Evra currently has three years left on his contract, but Monaco would accept a big offer and give the player the chance to test himself abroad.

alors s´en ait à ou Heinze?

Ben la rumeur annonce sa signature à son retour de sélection, on verra ^^

Bien je crois que Heinze sera un red devil avant la semaine prochaine car il parait que le PSG a accepter une offre de 6£ pour lui et qu´après le match contre le brésil il va aller signer a Old Trafford.
