Real Madrid has made a sensational swoop for Liverpool's out of favour goalkeeper, Jerzy Dudek. The Polish keeper has acquired a cult status among Liverpool fans for his heroics during the 'Istanbul Miracle' Champions League final match. However, since then, he has been out of favour at Merseyside, having had to play second fiddle to Spanish keeper 'Pepe' Reina.
Real, oh Real. Did you guys blunder or what? The club has admitted to 'mishandling the David Beckham situation', leading him to sign a lucrative contract for LA Galaxy. Real's president had called Becks a 'half-baked actor heading to Hollywood' and Fabio Capello, Real's manager, vowed Becks would not play for Real again, saying 'He can't be trusted'. Now, however, Real Madrid wants to keep Becks with the president announcing that 'they are going to do all they can to keep Becks' and Capello saying he would 'love for Becks to stay'. This is all in the wake of top class performances by Becks which has virtually secured the Primera Liga title for Madrid. Hmmm... They probably should have said that before Becks bought an 11 million pound house in LA. Anyway, Becks has already blasted Madrid at a press conference for LA Galaxy, saying Madrid's failure to offer him a contract was the main reason he signed for LA Galaxy. That and of course, the 128 million pounds. Lucky guy.
Arsenal's Tomas Rosicky has confirmed his interest to stay at Arsenal following reported interest from Atletico Madrid. Rosicky has just been at the Emirates for one season. He says he wants to continue being a Gunner. Oh, well, you never understand some people.
Valencia's highly rated David Villa has also said that he wants to stay at Valencia, despite interest from Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool.
In the Serie A, Juventus has agreed to sign Italian international striker, Vincenzo Iaquinta from Udinese.
Inter Milan's Sweden striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovich has been linked to a move to city rivals, AC Milan. However, Zlatan's agent has poured cold water onto the rumour, saying that Inter president, Massimo Moratti would never let that happen. Short of saying, "Over my dead body." The rumour follows Ibrahimovich's criticism of the organisation and mentality at Inter, comparing it unfavourably to his former club, Juventus.
Speaking of Inter, it has been reported that Inter has signed Cagliari striker David Suazo for 6.7 million pounds. Since the 27 year old Suazo is coming, Inter's 31 year old striker Alvaro Recoba has indicated he will leave, most possible for Atletico Madrid in Spain. Also, veteran Luis Figo has opted to stay at Inter, cancelling a move to Al-Ittihad in the Middle East.
