Ronaldo to leave Real for £150 million - Following a reported fallout with The Special One, Real are supposedly ready to listen to offers of around £150 million for their world record signing and club season record goalscorer. When you throw in a wage demand of anything north of £250,000 per week, then there is only one, even remotely, possibly destination. New FA Cup holders, Manchester City, have dismissed any and all speculation that discussions between the two clubs has taken place. However with Carlos Tevez again expressing a desire to leave maybe a player plus cash deal could be on the cards. In the crazy worlds of City, Ronaldo and Real anything is possible!

Denilson wants away - Arsenal's 23 year old former under-18 Brazilain captain is the first of Wenger's first team squad to openly state that he is leaving the club. The wantaway Samba star has spoken openly of his desire to win silverware and it seems like the Gunners' six year trophy drought has finally got to him. Always on the periphery of the first team, Denilson has failed to live up to the hype surrounding him and is known to want to leave the Premier League. Although undoubtably talented, his inconsistant performances are unlikely to have whetted the appetite of any of the European giants, however one of the lesser lights of Italy or Spain are bound to find him an attractive proposition.

De Gea to United - It seems that only a failure to agree personal terms at Old Trafford can now stop Spanish 'keeper David de Gea leaving Athelico Madrid at the end of the season. It has been reported that a fee of between £15 million and £17 million has been agreed between the clubs and that once the i's have been dotted and the t's have been crossed De Gea will become the annoited successor to Edwin van Der Saar. The transfer would appear to be a dream move for De Gea and United, however a couple of words of caution - Tiabi and Bosnich.

Parker's decision to be swayed by European football - Whilst it is considered to be a cast iron certainty that FWA Footballer of the Year Scott Parker will leave Upton Park this summer, his port of desitination is yet to be determined. However the 29 year old England International has spoken of his desire to play in Europe next season and with none of Chelsea, United or City showing any interest in the midfielder, the field is significantly narrowed down. With due respect to Stoke, Birmingham or Fulham, Parker is not going to want to spend the autumn of his career in perrenial relegation battles and so the big guns of Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham remain. The draw of Champions League football coupled with Arsene Wenger's about turn on giving long term contracts to players over 30 is expected to be the determining factor and so expect to see Parker patrolling the lush Emirates turf wearing the red and white of Arsenal. Look out for £8 million sealing the deal.
