Monday Transfer Gossip

First off, Ole (Spanish link) report that River Plate are in discussions with Lazio over the possible transfer of Argentine goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo to the Italian side. River are in a position where they don't necessarily have to sell the player, so it may take a higher than expected offer from Lazio to prise him away from Los Millionairos.

In fact, River have been involved in a lot of wheeling and dealing recently, too much to describe here without it becoming a River Plate blog. Luckily though, such a blog does exist, giving full details of all their recent transfer moves.

Marca (Spanish link) report that Barcelona have put an 8million Euro price tag on Brazilian midfielder Thiago Motta, despite freely admitting that he will be sold this summer. It is thought that an offer in the region of 5million Euros may tempt them to do business though.

Finally, Sky Sports report that Levante are close to agreeing a deal with Liverpool to take Argentine defender Gabriel Paletta on loan for next season.
