Europe biggest clubs are after a young goalkeeper from Romania who is considered a big talent with a bright future and considered by the Italian press the “new Buffon”.

At only 16 years old Laurentiu Branescu is the first choice for CSM Ramnicu Valcea, a Romanian team from second division. Branescu is also the first choice for Romania U-17.

The Romanian youngster was on trial at Manchester United. The English side officials were impressed by his qualities and started the negotiations with the Romanian club but eventually this runaway was abandoned. Chelsea, Liverpool and Juventus were also interested and at some point the Italian newspapers were suggesting that Juventus have managed to reach an agreement with the Romanian club for a sum of around €900000.

However the player’s agent infirm this news and suggest that he is still a player of the Romanian side.

Laurentiu Branescu is playing for CSM Ramnicu Valcea since 2004 and made his senior debut at the age of 15 in the second league.

Jose Mourinho complained since last summer that he would need another striker. Now the only available options are Benzema and Ronaldo but the last one is not a natural striker.

The latest news from Spain suggest that Mourinho wants to loan Adebayor until the summer with the option to buy him at the end of the period.

Adebayor came at Manchester City from Arsenal for a sum of around €30 millions but failed to establish himself as a regular starter in Mancini’s squad.

The 26 years old striker scored 15 goals in 34 appearances for City. This year Adebayor scored only one goal in 8 appearances and a move a way from City is very likely.

Benitez failed to continue Mourinho’s work as Inter are seventh in the Italian Serie A with 13 points behind their rivals from Milan but with 2 games less. Inter failed to win the European Super Cup against Atletico Madrid and finished second in Champions League group behind Tottenham. The only trophy for Benitez at Inter is the Club World Cup.

There is no official statement regarding the Spanish coach situation. More than that Inter president Massimo Moratti declared that he is unaware of the situation :”All this is unexpected and I have not had a chance to hear anyone” .

The president also declared that he had no meetings or discussion with other coaches to take the Inter job. However there are three candidates: Leonardo, Zenga and Spalletti.

The Brazilian has the biggest chances as both Spalletti and Zenga have contracts in Russia and Saudi Arabia respectively. Spalletti is the fresh winner of Russian championship with Zenit and the Russian club declared that they will not allow their coach to leave  the club now.
