AS Roma is for sale
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
Is Frank Ribery really determined to stay at Bayern?
Frank Ribery is regarded as one of the best football players in activity.
The French international is considered by many the France leader the player that can decide the game by itself.
Of course Ribery is also one of the most hunted players with Real Madrid and Barcelona the big favorites to sign him. Ribery has stirred controversy when he refused to sign the contract extension last year and declared that his dream is to play in Spain for Barcelona or Real Madrid. But it looks that the things have changed now and Ribery has signed a contract extension until 2015.
The 27 years old winger declared that he feels good at Munchen and he always regarded Bayern as one of the biggest clubs in Europe. He also spoke about Real Madrid coach, Jose Mourinho, who is a keen admirer of his abilities.
Since 2007 when he joined Bayern Munchen, Ribery has scored 42 goals in 116 appearences. Ribery is currently suspended by FFF but the player insisted that he is eager to return to action with the France squad.
Would Kaka be a good transfer for Inter?
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.
