1.Robinho has urged Manchester City to launch a bid for Argentina star
Carlos Tevez, as his future is uncertain while he nears the end of a two-year loan agreement at Manchester United.
City have been linked with a bid for the striker, although the Red Devils appear keen to strike fresh terms with Tevez's representatives, with
Cristiano Ronaldo set for Real Madrid.
2.Yuri Zhirkov has reiterated that his dream move this summer would be to European champions Barcelona.
The CSKA Moscow midfielder has been linked with a number of clubs over the last month, including Chelsea and Juventus, but it is the Nou Camp that has a special draw for the 25-year-old.
Zhirkov revealed he has had a soft spot for Barcelona since he was small and was an avid viewer last season as Pep Guardiola's side became the first Spanish team to win the treble of Primera Division, Copa del Rey and European Cup.
3.Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho has said he would welcome the chance to be reunited with Chelsea midfielder Deco, who wants out of Stamford Bridge.
The Portugal international, who has been strongly linked with a move to Inter, revealed on Thursday he wants to quit Chelsea following an indifferent first season in London and the self-proclaimed 'Special One' has now intensified rumours of a move by claiming he would relish the chance to coach the ex-Barcelona star once again.
4.Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan has confirmed that Manchester United have made a series of bids for Ecuador winger
Antonio Valencia and he expects another cash offer to arrive shortly.
United, who accepted a world-record £80m bid from Real Madrid for
Cristiano Ronaldo on Thursday, are in the market for a replacement for the Bernabeu-bound World Player of the Year and Valencia is one of the names on their hit-list.
5.Bayern Munich are determined to keep hold of star midifielder Franck Ribery, but must now be aware that the new wave of cash flooding the transfer market will make him more affordable to interested clubs.
The Bundesliga side have already stated the France international will not leave unless a rival club comes up with an offer they cannot refuse, which general manager Uli Hoeness now says will have to be a ''crazy'' bid.
The press in Germany claim €75m - around £65m - would be enough to get the playmaker. However, it is highly unlikely any club, be it Chelsea, Manchester United or Real Madrid, would do business at that price.
6.Yossi Benayoun has distanced himself from the prospect of a shock move to Barcelona, but admits he will have to discuss his future with Liverpool.
It has been claimed that the European champions have enquired about Benayoun, in the same week that fellow Reds midfielder Javier Mascherano was linked with the Catalan giants.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez killed off that suggestion by saying Barca could not afford Mascherano and he would reject even £50m for the player.
7.Lyon director Bernard Lacombe is confident
Karim Benzema will still be at the Stade Gerland next season.
The young striker is one of the world's hottest properties at the moment, with Inter Milan and Real Madrid among the clubs reportedly considering tabling a 40m euro bid.
Speculation is also rife that Manchester United are ready to use some of the money earned from the impending sale of
Cristiano Ronaldo to bring Benzema to Old Trafford.
8.Portsmouth have just confirmed that they have received a bid for Glen Johnson. It was reported this morning that Manchester City had made an £18m offer for the England full-back. If it's true then Spurs, Liverpool and even Chelsea are highly unlikely to match that sort of cash.

10.Manchester United are lining up a move to take Samuel Eto'o to Old Trafford as they prepare to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo's impending departure. Eto'o is one of Manchester City's leading summer transfer targets, but United look like beating their rivals to the Cameroon player's signature. (The Times)
Samuel Eto'o has been offered to Liverpool by Barcelona in a swap deal as the European Champions step up their bid to land Javier Mascherano. Barca believe offering him to Liverpool for unsettled Mascherano could help to smooth a deal. Reds boss Rafa Benitez insisted earlier this week that he wasn't willing to sell his Argentine defensive midfielder to Barca "at any price" - even £50m. (Daily Mirror)
11.Real Madrid are offering Arjen Robben to Liverpool in a straight swap for Xabi Alonso. Rafa Benitez is reluctant to sell Spanish midfield star Alonso and has already turned down an £18million bid. But Real will also try to tempt Benitez by offering an alternative deal of £18m cash plus Gabriel Heinze if he turns down Dutch winger Robben. (The Sun)
12.Real Madrid are set to step up their astonishing spending spree — after an £8million offer for LiverpoolÂ’s Alvaro Arbeloa. There is even speculation the Spanish billionaires will bid £15m for ChelseaÂ’s Ashley Cole to keep him away from Barcelona. (The Sun)
