The Manchester City ace, 29, is likely to be sold this summer, and with both Ligue 1 moneybags in the market for a new striker, Tevez insists he would have no qualms about joining either side.

‘For me, Monaco is one of the largest French clubs, and any player would go there,’ he said.

‘I have a one-year contract left at City and I am happy, and I love playing in the Premier League – but a project like Monaco I really like.

‘I know [Claudio] Ranieri [Monaco coach] and he has proven he is a great coach so for me this would be great.’

Likewise, he admits that PSG would be equally as desirable – a club he almost joined when he was in dispute with City last season.

‘There was interest from PSG for me, and we talked with Leonardo, but we could not reach an agreement,’ he said.

‘But it remains an interesting option as the French championship is moving very fast. If Leonardo called me, it’s not a problem for me to come, really no problem to come to Paris and France.’

According to Mercato365.com, Pjanic’s entourage have met with Rossoneri officials to discuss a move away from the capital.

The Bosnian has a contract with Roma until 2015 and could available for Milan for a relatively cheap sum.

However, before Pjanic decides on an exit, he would prefer to see who takes over at Roma and what direction the team could take next year.

Pjanic has attracted interest from Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Arsenal as well as AC Milan.

The 21-year-old has just one year remaining on his current Arsenal contract and reports have suggested that PSG could make a move to sign him in the summer. Jenkinson has admitted that he is keen to establish himself as the Gunners’ number one right-back but could also be interested in a move away if a club like PSG made an approach. “Of course it makes me proud to read PSG are interested,” Jenkinson told the Daily Star Sunday. “They are a very attractive club. Personally, I’ve not been approached by PSG. I don’t know if they have contacted my agent or if these are rumours. “I don’t close any door. I could very well extend my contract here in London but equally I could leave at the end of the season. I only have one year left on my contract – we will see.” Much could depend on the future of Bacary Sagna, who is also being linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium, and if he leaves, that could mean more opportunities for Jenkinson.

Antonio Conte says there will be no “fantasy football” transfer spending at Juventus as he bids to bolster the club’s ranks.

The Serie A champions have already secured the signature of Fernando Llorente from Athletic Bilbao but have also been linked with a number of big-name signings in recent weeks, including Carlos Tevez and Gonzalo Higuain.
“I like them a lot,” the 43-year-old Italian was quoted by Gazzetta dello Sport when asked about Higuain and Tevez.
“But I also like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar. You can throw names around like fantasy football but you have to deal with the budget, which is very tight this year.
“We will have to be careful, maybe even go after loan signings. I don’t think it will be easy.
Conte’s charges ended the season with a 3-2 defeat away at Sampdoria on Saturday but had already secured a second title in as many years- something their coach is eager to build on.

“If we win a third consecutive championship, it would be a major undertaking, something which was managed 80 years ago at this club [Juventus won five on the trot between 1931 and 1935],” the former Bianconeri player added.
“So we have to give it our all, starting with me.
“I have an agreement with Juventus until 2015- my contract was neither renegotiated nor renewed. My wages, contrary to what may have been reported, remain the same. We want to continue to build at the club.”

Despite enjoying his best season at Stamford Bridge this term with 22 goals  to his name, it’s his consistent lack of form in the Premier League that  concerns the Chelsea hierarchy. He has scored just 7 times in the league this  season, none of which have been struck in this calendar year. His last league  strike came in a game against Aston Villa way back in December.

Overall for Chelsea, Torres has netted 34 times in 103 appearances. This  currently results in £2 million a goal for if you add his reported £22 million  wages (The Sun claim he is on £175,000 per week) and bonuses to his £50 million  transfer fee and at 29-years-old, Chelsea could feel it’s the most valuable time  they could sell their striker.

The Sun claim that expected returning Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho would prefer  the funds to form a new strike force at Stamford Bridge and would use the Torres  cash to part-fund the signings of £70 million rated pair Bayer Leverkusen’s  Andre Schurrle and Napoli forward Edison Cavani.

Fernando Torres meanwhile is believed to be hoping that he can stay at  Stamford Bridge and take his good cup form into the new Premier League  season.

Moyes will take charge of Everton for the final time on Sunday before he replaces Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford and it has not taken long for rumours to start over who he may try and take with him.

Fellaini has now emerged as a target and the Belgium midfielder would no doubt jump at the chance of a move to United after admitting he wants Champions League football.

Chelsea have been linked with the player for over 12 months but Fellaini would prefer to move to Manchester and continue his working relationship with Moyes.

Everton are bracing themselves for further interest in their star players with reports in the press also claiming Moyes could target Leighton Baines and youngster Ross Barkley.

The Frenchman has been told he can not only spend big, but also has the freedom to increase the Gunners’ current wage ceiling, giving the club more scope to compete with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City.

The north London outfit head into Sunday’s Premier League finale with their fate in their own hands, knowing a victory at Newcastle will guarantee a top four finish.

But if Arsenal slip-up at St James’ Park and rivals Tottenham beat Sunderland, the Gunners will miss out on UEFA’s elite club competition.

Wenger has admitted that a victory in the north east will help the club do ‘well’ in the transfer market this summer.

“Let’s finish well today, and then we’ll give ourselves a good ­potential chance to win the championship next season by doing well in the ­transfer market,” said the 63-year-old.

Part of Wenger’s summer budget comes from a new £150m deal with stadium sponsors Emirates, while the club are also set to confirm a record-breaking kit deal with Puma worth £170m.

In addition, the club will look to offload a number of high earners this summer, including Marouane Chamakh, Sebastian Squillaci and Andrei Arsharvin.

“Last summer, and the year before, were very ­difficult,” added Wenger.

“Last year we had the Robin van Persie case and before that it was Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri.

“We started pre-season, on camps, with every time a player being half in or half out and that is not the best way mentally to prepare.”

With Manchester United, City and Chelsea all ­changing managers this summer, Wenger is aware Arsenal may be able to take advantage.

“You can have a little ­advantage on some teams.

“If Mourinho comes back it will not be a totally new experience, but, yes, if ­Pellegrini comes it can be difficult in a new country.

“It’s very difficult to ­predict how it will work.”

The 22 year old playmaker has been an integral part of Sociedad’s impressive season that sees them on the verge of qualifying for next seasons Champions League ahead of Valencia, Sevilla and Malaga.

 Arsenal have been linked with a summer move for the Frenchman along with the likes of Marseille and AC Milan.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has a transfer kitty of £70million to spend this summer and a young attack minded talent like Griezmann could be the ideal signing after the likes of Lukas Podolski and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have failed to impress this season.

Griezmann is happy to stay in Spain and is not thinking about a summer move.

“Really, they are all rumours and I am fine,” he told El Mundo Deportivo.

“I’m happy and comfortable. I have a contract until 2016 and will not think about anything else.

“I am enjoying it here. I do not see myself anywhere other than Real.”

Speaking to the media, Mauro ICARDI mentioned about a possible move to Inter Milan and why it didn’t work out at Barcelona. Here’s what he had to say:

“Inter are a great team with a lot of Argentine players who are real champions. I try not to think about any transfer rumours, but it’s flattering to hear that Inter are interested. If a club like them want you, you can only be happy.”

“They have ZANETTI, who is a real myth for us Argentines. He is a great champions and I’m really sorry about his injury.”

On why he left Barcelona:
“Together with my agent and my father, we noticed that it’s hard for a certain type of striker to fit in at Barcelona. Even a world-class player like IBRAHIMOVIC struggled. If even someone like IBRA is having a difficult time, what would it be like for me… It was in my best interest to move on.” ]]> http://transfer-talk.com/seriea/mauro-icardi-reveals-interest-in-inter-move-and-why-he-left-barca/feed/ 0 http://transfer-talk.com/bbva/ac-milan-ponder-move-for-reals-xabi-alonso/ http://transfer-talk.com/bbva/ac-milan-ponder-move-for-reals-xabi-alonso/#comments Fri, 17 May 2013 16:12:16 +0000 transfertalk http://transfer-talk.com/?p=2769 AC Milan are pondering a swoop for Xabi Alonso as the midfielder is considering leaving Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.

The Serie A giants are keen to add some more experience to their squad ahead of next season and they see the Spain international as a valuable addition to their midfield.

Alonso has a contract with Madrid until June 2014 and would be open to a new challenge this summer after four seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Madrid have set a £12.6 million (€15m) asking price for Alonso and are ready to cash in on the midfielder if Milan were to meet that sum.

Nevertheless, Alonso’s personal demands could prove to be a stumbling block for Milan, with the former Liverpool man having set his sights on a three-year deal worth £3.3m per year.

The Spain international has also been linked with the likes of Chelsea and Inter, but no club has made a formal approach for the 31-year-old so far.
