Roma target out of contract Gallas

05th March 2010

Roma are looking to snatch William Gallas from Arsenal on a Bosman free. The France defender is out of contract in the summer and the Gunners’ policy of only offering one-year deals to players over 30 could tempt Gallas to look elsewhere. Arsene Wenger is keen to hold on to his compatriot and may bend the rules by offering a two-year deal, but cash-strapped Roma are ready to pounce.

Juve eye Van Persie swap deal for Melo

05th March 2010

Juventus will test Arsene Wenger’s desire to sign Felipe Melo by insisting on an Arsenal star in exchange. The Gunners boss admits he is still interested in Melo, who he failed to land when the Brazil midfielder left Fiorentina for Juve in a players plus cash deal worth £21million. The Turin giants would be open to a deal, but are eyeing at least one of Robin van Persie, Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna as part of any transfer.

Cole set to leave Chelsea on a free

05th March 2010

Joe Cole fears a complete breakdown in his relationship with Roman Abramovich will result in the midfielder leaving Chelsea at the end of the season. Sources at Stamford Bridge claim Cole and his representatives infuriated the Russian with their hardline stance in contract negotiations which saw the player threaten to leave if Abramovich did not meet the 28-year-old’s wage demands. The tactic appears to have backfired, not least because the Chelsea owner does not consider Cole to be worth his salary demands which are in excess of £100,000 a week — especially as he has failed to regularly start in Carlo Ancelotti’s side since returning in September from a nine-month spell on the sidelines with a serious knee injury.
