The things have started to go from bad to worse at AS Roma as the club is having large debs to pay.

Even if the club is owned by Sensi family for some time now, who are very attached to the club, it looks like they have no option but to sell the club. After a failed attempt this summer it seems like AS Roma is closer then ever to have a new owner.

The favorite to take the charge of the club is number 122 from the top with the richest men in the World, Leonid Fedun.

Fedun owns 9.2% of Lukoil, the Russian oil giant. Even if he owns also Spartak Moskova, Fedun wants to pay €200 millions plus debt for 50% stake in the club. He has plans that by 2012 to buy another 35% to have full control of the club.

After the success he had Abramovic at Chelsea more and more billionaires have started to invest in football

Milan were one of the most active team on the transfer market this summer.

The Rossoneri have secured the services of word class players like Ibrahimovic or Robinho while Inter have not made any important acquisition. Ibrahimovic arrival at AC Milan is seen as high treason by Inter fans and officials. Over time players like Seedorf, Pirlo, Ronaldo, Vieri arrived at Milan after playing for their biggest rivals Inter and Kaka move to Inter would be the best revenge.

Kaka did not make the best impression at Real Madrid as he was more injured then fit and Real Madrid could be tempted to give up on his services. Mourinho already has some backups for that position and considering his good relation with Moratti there could be some chances for the transfer to be done.

On the other hand if we consider the player high wages and Inter new policy regarding transfers the possibility is still low. Also Kaka‘s devotion for Milan fans would be a major obstacle.

Anyway Inter president Massimo Moratti declared that despite being an admirer of Kaka’s abilities he believes that the transfer has small chances to succeed.

Nicolas Anelka decided that is best for him to retire from national team.

This decision came after the 18 games ban applied by FFF after South Africa World Cup. Anelka had an altercation with former France coach, Raymond Domenech and refused to apologize.

From 1998 when he debuted at the national team Anelka scored 14 goals in 69 games and was among the players that won the European Championship in 2000.

The French striker is one of the few football players whose transfer amount exceeded €100 millions. He played during his career at clubs like PSG, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Liverpool, Fenerbahce, Manchester City and Bolton.

Since 2008 Anelka is a Chelsea player. The 31 years old striker declared that he is sure about his decision and that he plays in Blue every weekend with Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti, his current manager declared that he has a good relation with Anelka and that they never argue about anything.

AC Milan have managed to secure the services of another world-class forward, Robinho from Manchester City, after Ibrahimovic capture.

Robinho‘s transfer sum at Manchester City has beaten all the records for Premier League. The transfer sum was around £32.5 millions and if we consider also the players wages the sum reaches a very high amount.

The Brazilian superstar failed to confirm at City and was loaned at Santos for the second part of the last season.

The 26 years old forward signed a four year contract with Milan and the transfer sum was around £15 millions but the sum may rise depending on performances.

Milan gave up on Huntelaar who was sold to Shalke and Boriello who was loaned at Roma to make space for the Brazilian.

Milan will have a trio of Brazilians up front, with Ronaldinho, Robinho and Pato, and if we consider also Ibrahimovic then we can talk about one of the best attacking force in Europe.

Now the football betting sites consider them as the second favorites to win the title in this Serie A season.

The Rossoneri are trying to stop Inter dominance in Serie A and to become that feared Champions League team from few years ago.
