Juventus not interested in Liverpool midfielder

Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli insists the Serie A giants are not interested in signing Liverpool midfielder.

Speculation is rife that Juventus have joined the race to sign Xabi Alonso, who they tried to tempt to the Stadio Olimpico last year.

  “For the midfield, there are many names. But Xabi Alonso's not one of those",

"I read in the press about our interest for him. He's a good player, but I think that saying I've read his name in papers is where it ends." – Cobolli Gigli.

Cobolli Gigli also revealed that Juventus are still interested in Udinese playmaker Gaetano D'Agostino despite their bid hitting several stumbling blocks.

However, Cobolli Gigli claims they are not in the hunt for Alonso, who has also been linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Juventus wouldn't be able to match the amount that Real Madrid would bid, which is rumoured to be between £25m and £35m, with it now looking increasingly like the Spanish international is actually going to be leaving Anfield?

Javier Mascherano going nowhere

Liverpool FC and Rafael Benitez has moved in to dismissed the speculation surrounding Javier Mascherano moving away this summer.

"Mascherano has no price,"

"Barcelona could not afford to match his value to Liverpool Football Club.
"We do not want to sell and Javier is very happy here.

"I have spoken to Javier two or three times this summer – the last time was only last week – and he was very happy, very positive.

"He gave me the private number of his agent, Walter Tamer, and again the conversation was very positive and was all about football.

"Walter told me that two clubs with big, big names were asking after Mascherano – and I told him to forget it, that Javier was happy in Liverpool and he was not for sale.

"So I was surprised to see the agent's comments today.

"He has a long contract and any club can forget about bidding for him. They can offer £40m or even £50m, we don’t want to sell." – Rafa Benitez, Liverpoolfc.tv.

While, Rafa will definitely keeping Mascherano at Anfield but the future of a Spaniard are still hanging in the balance. After Manchester United agreed to sell their prized asset to Real Madrid last Thursday, Alonso will be featured in Florentino Perez’s wish-list of building another era of Galactico.

I expect Liverpool wouldn’t accept nothing less than £30million for Alonso’s fee.

Should Liverpool let Alonso go to Real Madrid? Have your say here.

Agent comment lands Liverpool midfielder in trouble

A comment made from Walter Tamer on Catalan radio station RAC-1 has angered Liverpool’s manager, Rafa Benitez as he contempt to keep his squad together for next season.

"If a club like Barcelona want to bring you into their ranks after having completed such a brilliant season and having won everything, obviously as a player you are going to say 'Yes, I want to play there'.

"It is an honour for Javier that a club like Barca pay such close attention to him, especially after the incredible season they had. I believe that a transfer would be feasible. If Barca really want him, he will sign for them.

"He would have a very easy job at Barca. Sometimes we talk and joke that the only thing he has to do is run, rob the ball, and pass it on to all the superstars in front of him."

"What if Xabi Alonso also leaves? Surely, Rafa Benitez would not want to have both his central midfielders go. It will be difficult, although Xabi's future does not depend on Mascherano and vice-versa,"

"The transaction would certainly happen, but the first to leave will have more options." – Mascherano’s agent, RAC-1.

Aren’t we fed-up with these kind of rumours? First, Xabi Alonso linked with a move to Real Madrid and now Javier Mascherano to Barcelona.

Au revoir Gunners, Bonjour Barca!

Bonjour Barca! Thierry Henry has admitted his love for Barcelona and a switch to Camp Nou are imminent now. Barcelona has reportedly agreed to pay Gunners £16million for Henry and only medical examination yet to be done before the Catalan club parade him later today in a press conference. Barcelona is building a new galacticos at Camp Nou with a strike force of Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Henry and Messi. Frank Rijkaard summer spending doesn't end here, there are more players to be sign. But where is our signing?

Henry, Arsenal's all-time record goalscorer with 226 goals from 364 appearances was signed by Arsene Wenger in 1999 from Juventus will be deeply miss by Gunners fans. He's truly a gentleman and a professional footballer on and off the pitch. All I can say about Henry is, he's a true servant and loyal to Arsenal through thicks and thins but now it's time for him to move on as his age is catching up. He'll be 30 year old in two months time.

Chill out Gunners, at least you'll see new players coming in or may I say former player in the likes of Nicolas Anelka cos we still left clueless by the owners on who's going to join us.
