Transfer Talk: Keirrison Almost Here... Villa On The Way?

We're sorry for the delay with this, but here we are! All the wacky transfer rumors from the past week...

Of course, again this week's reports have centered around Villa, and Barca have made a new bid of forty million for him. The player though, remains vague about his future. The club has also reached a confirmed deal on Palmeiras striker Keirrison, which is close to being finalized; Keirisson could be loaned out to Valencia as part of a deal for Villa. The latest is that Keirrison and Caceres would both be included in the negotiations.

Yaya Toure has signed his new contract with Barca, yet Manchester United are reported to be preparing a bid for him, for some reason. Renewal talks for Puyol are also underway, and reportedly Marquez will extend his contract in the coming week.

Manchester City have made a new offer for Eto'o, claiming that if he should sign for them, they'll make him the highest paid player in the world. We really do see him taking that deal; most rumors are that he'll go.

Henry is reported to want to finish his career in the United States, possibly joining the New York Red Bulls in 2011.

Barca's being linked to Ribery again, while Laporta claims that Bayern Munich refuse to sell him, and other reports sugges that he prefers Real Madrid.

Bruno Alves rumors continue, and now reports are that Henrique, whom Barca signed last year before loaning him out, could be included in the Bruno deal. Henrique however has expressed a desire to stay at Barca.

The Mascherano deal hasn't gotten anywhere, although the player himself says he's honored by Barca's interest, and now speculations are that De Rossi would be an alternative.

The deal to sign Luis Filipe was said to be close, before his club, Deportivo, claimed they want twenty million. And Txiki isn't willing to go that high.

Barca's supposed to be going for Robino again, while Ajax forward Suarez is being linked to us, as well as Belgian player Hazard, Chelsea's Essien, Ashley Young, Melo as well as Diego Forlan before his agent denied it. Shakhtar claimed that Chyhrynskiy is not for sail after Barca was said to be interested in him. More rumors suggest Cesc could be joining us, while others report that he'll stay at Arsenal.

Corinthians and Zaragoza are both interested in Sylvinho, while Gudjohnsen's been linked to several English clubs as well as Besiktas and Aston Villa and Independiente are after Milito. Zaragoza also want to get Cacereson loan, something that has been confirmed by his agent.

There's been a lot of interest from other clubs in Bojan and Pedro, though Bojan and Laporta both repeated that he'll be staying.

About the Barca B team, Corcoles and Verdes will officially be leaving. Gai Assulin wants to reach the first team, seven players have been promoted from Barca Juvenil to the B team, and Barca havesigned youth player Alejandro from Las Palmas.

Hopefully the coming week will settle our striker issue and Barca will make their first signing. And that that signing will be Villa...
