INTER MILAN FC PORTUGUESE BID

Inter Milan FC is offering to take Ricardo Carvalho and Deco to Italy. Carvalho has stated that he is willing to leave Stamford Bridge. The “SPECIAL ONE” Jose Mourinho who had coached the two Portuguese internationals at FC Porto is a keen admirer of Carvalho and Deco was instrumental to the signing of Carvalho in 2004 from FC Porto when he became gaffer at Stamford Bridge.
Deco had preferred a move to FC Barcelona rather than move to Stamford Bridge with Jose Mourinho.
Carvalho had cost Chelsea FC GBP 19.85m but the Italians are offering GBP 9.3m. The Italians also believe that the value of Deco has dropped since he had not had enough playing time at Stamford Bridge. Deco had cost Chelsea FC GBP 8m during the regime of Luis Felipe Scolari but could not get enough playing time.
Chelsea FC is asking Inter Milan FC to increase their price for the two Portuguese players but only time will tell if they will be able to come to a compromise deal.

ANTONIO VALENCIA DEAL

Manchester United FC witnessed another transfer dilemma as they faced stiff competition from Real Madrid FC over Wigan FC’s Antonio Valencia. Sir Alex Ferguson had chosen to sign Valencia as a replacement for Christiano Ronaldo in the wake of Ronaldo’s eminent departure to Santiago Bernabeu but like a flick in a movie scene Real Madrid FC has showed interest in Valencia.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been in a row before with the Santiago Bernabeu Outfit as he had refused to sell Christiano Ronaldo to them last season. Antonio Valencia may favour a move to Old-Trafford as he may not want to play second fiddle to Christiano Ronaldo in Madrid.

However, Valencia has chosen Manchester United FC over Real Madrid FC.
