Monday Transfer Gossip

Chelsea are being linked with a sensational move for Ronaldinho. The Daily Mail reports that Chelsea officials have met with Ronaldinho's brother and advisor Robert de Assis Moreira twice over the bank holiday weekend to try and sell Chelsea football club to the Brazilian. It seems Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is more than happy to pay the £85million buyout clause in order to capture the former World Player of the Year.

Sky Sports also report that Boca Junior's loan move to Liverpool defender Gabriel Paletta has turned into a permanent deal after Liverpool decided the player was surplus to requirements at Anfield.

Finally, it seems that Adriano could be on his way out of Inter before the transfer window shuts this week. The Gazzetta Della Sport (Italian link) reports that Parma are interested in taking the Brazilian on loan, with a number of English clubs, along with Real Madrid thought to be offering around 30million Euros for a permanant transfer.

First off, Boca Juniors have agreed a loan deal for Liverpool defender Gabriel Paletta. Ole (Spanish link) report that the former Banfield player will join the Buenos Aires club on a one year loan.

Jonas Gutierrez looks certain to stay with RCD Mallorca for at least one more season. Marca (Spanish link) report that Velez Sarsfield still own 50% of the rights to the player and do not wish to sell these rights as they hope for the player to play for them from June 2008 onwards.

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.
