Blackburn and Benfica have tabled bid's for Witsel both around the 8 million euros mark.
That much I do know...
Ciprian (Probable misspell) Marica is about to be announced as a Lokomotiv Moscow player after he agreed a 9 million euros move from Stuttgart.
Few more transfers today (not many), I'll do a roundup later if I can...
Also Doni update:
Work permit not an issue at all, Liverpool football correspondents say he is booked for a medical on Monday and they expect Liverpool to announce him on Tuesday and most probably join up with the LFC squad in Asia by next Friday.(Think their first game is on Wednesday vs Guangdong Cave).
Will try to come on with a roundup later anyway...
Michael Essien news:
Hearing that its very serious, at least 7 months possibly the whole season very bad news for Essien.
Erik Lamela joins Roma on a 5 year contract.
Deal is structured so Roma pay River a 1.5 million euros fee for 5 years....So in total around 7.5 million euros. Genoa are about to sign Frey from Fiorentina after the clubs negotiated a fee, Jonathan Soriano is subject of a 3 million euros bid by Red Bull Salzburg of Austria. Juventus are making approaches to Poli of Sampdoria after the Vidal deal collapsed.
Here is what I understand on Liverpool/Bastos situation, OL have offered Bastos to Liverpool for 13 million pounds and they also offered Cissokho to them for 22 million euros now Cissokho wise I think that is dead but Bastos is a possibility since OL want rid quickly and since Juve are stalling on them if Liverpool take up negotiating the price/show interest it could happen relatively quickly.
Also there is some 'sources close to Aquilani' telling Italian media that SUNDERLAND have shown interest in him and have an 8 million pounds bid prepared should Liverpool show that he is available, whole story is based on an interview an advisor/family member gave Italian media so it could be 100 pct true or just a move to get Italian clubs bidding for him I'm not 100 pct sure on that.
