De Gea, the goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid is going to be transfer to Manchester United for £16million.
A really good thing for ManU, De Gea is really awesome with his young age, probably the second best young goalkeeper after Neuer.

Proof? I can't read it anywhere. Marca, AS, Bild, Transfermarkt, TheSun, TheGuardian, atletico madrid homepage, Manchester United homepage, no news to be found.

And btw, Neuer is already 25 and a real worldclass goalkeeper, so you can say that de Gea is THE best young goalkeeper in the world

It's not "official", but really close.

I counter Neuer as young for a goal-keeper. I thought he was like 23.

Well, close and official are two very different things in football

This however is very official. Bayern München signed 22 year old Nils Petersen from Energie Cottbus for 3mio€. With 25 goals for his club he was the top-scorer of the 2nd Bundesliga this season. He'll be given the No.9 shirt, which was worn by players like Gerd Müller and Luca Toni

According to Spanish media Barca is preparing an offer on Villareal striker Rossi. Offer would be €30m + Krkic or €40m without any additional players.


Also read that City wants to sign Ronaldo, were making an 180m offer?

Rossi is a very good idea, but not with that price..
It's also "close".

I call bullshit on that. Real Madrid don't need the money and they would be crazy to let Ronaldo go.

Also guys, let's not post too much rumors here. If I would post all the rumors I read then this topic will get pretty overcrowded very quickly

Why would Bayern need a new striker? Gomez, Klose and probably Olic next season will make him warm the bench 24/7. However, let the Schikeria welcome the new Schlaudraff.

Klose will leave sometime within the next 2 years, same goes for Olic, who is already 31. Gomez would be the only one left then. Petersen has been signed to fill in that gap and potentially be the next big thing after that.
There may be parallels to players like Baumjohann or Schlaudraff, but with Jupp Heynkes we got a coach who knows how to properly treat young players. Just look at Bender, Schwaab, Reinartz and Sam at Leverkusen

Only Sam was really convincing this season.

Dutch international & midfielder Theo Janssen is really close to signing a contract with this season's champion Ajax. Janssen played for Twente the past 3 years, where he won the title in 2010 and was runner-up in 2009 and 2011. He had an option in his contract allowing him to leave in the summer of 2011 for €2.5m, the only thing that separates player & club is a few details now..

Only Sam was really convincing this season.

Reinartz - 2nd best centre back Leverkusen had, came right after Hyypiä. And now that he's gone, Reinartz is THE best CB they have right now. He played almost every match from January on.

Bender - Really good defensive midfielder, only hampered by the large competition (Rolfes, Vidal, Ballack). If Vidal really leaves, then he's the no.1 candidate for a starting place next to Rolfes.

Schwaab - First real season for the young right back and for that he got quite a lot of starts. Not REALLY convincing yet, but it shows that Heynkes doesn't let his young - or reserve players decay on the bench.

His first season for Leverkusen but he played for Freiburg before and he had a lot of starts there...
