That Wayne Rooney is a prodigious talent is of no doubt. The player is versatile, adaptable and on his day, the world’s deadliest striker. But in comparison to players like Messi and Ronaldo, Rooney’s still not done justice to his enormous talent. Paris St. Germain are keen on rectifying that and the club are ready to offer a total package of €100 million to Wayne Rooney and Manchester United to see the 27 year old move to the City of Love. This includes a four year deal worth £15 million a year after tax cuts.

Most factions in the red half of Manchester will be glad to see the player’s back due to his topsy-turvy love affair with the club. The player was a fan favourite before he demanded a transfer request in the fall of 2010, citing the club’s apparent lack of motivation as his reason. Then he made a dramatic U-turn and signed a lucrative five year deal with the Red Devils.

Arsenal’s hopes of bagging Montpellier’s 23 year old playmaker Remy Cabella have hit a major roadblock. The Ligue 1 side have slapped an insane €100m (about 85.5million GBP) price tag on their player, which clearly indicates that the club are in no mood to even discuss the availability of their midfielder with the Gunners, let alone negotiating.

Montpellier’s Deputy Chairman Laurent Nicollin was quoted as having told RMC: "He is non-transferable. We try to anticipate and plan things, even in football, but it's complicated. The desire of the club is to keep Remy - he was told and knows this. If a club arrives and offers 100m euros, it will be discussed though."

The transfer window wars continue to get waged, with The Daily Express reporting that Liverpool and Juventus are about to go one on one over St Etienne prodigy Kurt Zouma.

The Merseyside club are desperately looking for a replacement for their retired centre back Jamie Carragher, and were reported to be going in for former Arsenal and Man City defender Kolo Toure. But Toure, on account of his age, would not be a permanent solution, and the Reds would certainly want to find a more viable long term option and are reportedly chasing some promising youngsters, including Kurt Zouma and Tiago Llori.

The Blues have made it a habit to be big movers in the transfer market every season. They are again aiming for big names this transfer market. However, sometimes the big signings (read: Fernando Torres) aren’t always the ones who make the difference in the team. Sometimes its the cheap economical buys like Cahill and Azpilicueta who prove to be important acquisitions for the long haul. Another such possible target is Porto defender Eliaquim Mangala.

French coach Didier Deschamps has adopted a new strategy of bringing young French players to the fore. For the tour of South America, Deschamps has called up Mangala in an attempt to give him exposure to top-flight international football. Mangala has already notched up 23 appearances for the U-21 French team and is surely ready for a shot at the big time. Deschamps hopes that Mangala will bring along the good form and skill he’s shown with the Portuguese champions to the French national team.

Aleksander Dragovic may not be a very well-known name around Europe as yet, but the young Austrian is the name on everyone’s lips in Switzerland. The FC Basel defender has put in a series of brilliant performances for his club and is already attracting big attention from top European clubs including AC Milan and Arsenal. Everton were earlier believed to be the front runners to sign the strong, 1.84 metre tall defender. However, the task of dressing him up in the blue of Merseyside just got transferred to the Red of Manchester with David Moyes' move across the land.

The player is a key member of the Swiss team and played a crucial role as the club unexpectedly fought their way to the Europa league semi-finals, beating European bigwigs like Tottenham Hotspur and Zenit St. Petersburg on its way. He was a mainstay in a miserly defence which has conceded the fewest goals (30) in the high scoring Swiss league. The young Austrian was also the recipient of the Swiss Golden Player of the year 2012 for the best defender in the league. The club has earlier said that it wants to keep the player on for at least a few more seasons. But this looks like an uphill task given the present situation.

Ramon Calderon, a former Real Madrid president, in an interview with talkSPORT revealed that Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo might leave Los Blancos in the summer owing to his unsatisfactory relationship with the current president Florentino Perez, and that he could be heading to one of the big spenders in the transfer market.

Talking about Perez, Calderon said “Cristiano Ronaldo said he was sad at the beginning of the season. I think the relationship with the current president is not a good one, maybe because the president doesn’t like the players he inherited. He did the same with Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder. It was unbelievable that when he came he decided to give them away.”
