Re: 2012 Rumor Mill/Transfers Daily Mail reported that Wolfsburg and Barca were interested in Denilson. Sunday Mirror says contract talks with Nasri have stalled and he may look for a move to Inter, who are also interested in Fabregas. Mail on Sunday says Per Mertesacker from Werder Bremen is our top target for the summer. News of the World says Carl Jenkinson from Charlton will be coming to the Arsenal this summer. They also claim we're looking at Stewart Downing from Aston Villa.
Re: 2012 Rumor Mill/Transfers Jenkinson looks quite likely to happen. Free transfer, young and a semi-trustworthy source. Oh, updated.
Re: 2012 Rumor Mill/Transfers The Sun thinks we're interested in Diego Milito for 5m. Daily Telegraph thinks Gary Cahill is our answer in the central defence. His expected price is in the 15m range.
Re: 2012 Rumor Mill/Transfers Arsene is reportedly interested in Morgan Amalfitano, a French midfielder from Lorient who is available on a free.
Re: 2012 Rumor Mill/Transfers Arsenal interested in Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema for 40m Arsenal interested in Lorient striker Kevin Gameiro for 12m Arsenal interested in Stuttgart defender Serdar Tasci Arsenal making overtures for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Goetze Arsenal interested in Everton left back Leighton Baines and centre back Phil Jagielka Arsenal keeping tabs on Ajax holding midfielder Jan Vertonghen Arsenal still negotiating for Southampton teenager Alex Chamberlain Bayern Munich interested in Nicklas Bendtner and Bacary Sagna Lazio interested in Marouane Chamakh for 9m Carlos Vela can't get playing time in the Championship and seems unlikely to factor into Arsenal's long-term plans Liverpool and Real Madrid are interested in out-of-favour left back Gael Clichy
Re: 2012 Rumor Mill/Transfers Arsenal are keeping an eye on award-winning midfielder Scott Parker, who likely won't go with relegated West Ham down to the Championship Arsenal looking at Standard Liege midfielder Eliaquim Mangala Contract negotiations with Samir Nasri haven't progressed with an 80,000/week offer being rejected recently
Re: 2012 Rumor Mill/Transfers Real Madrid willing to sell Karim Benzema to Arsenal for 25m Arsenal willing to out bid other teams for Everton defender Leighton Baines; City reportedly offering 18m Arsenal interested in Scott Parker but Liverpool and Sp*rs also in the hunt Sp*rs also interested in Arsenal target, Standard Liege midfielder Eliaquim Mangala Interested in Blackburn defender Christopher Samba at 12m Interested in Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila Andrey Arshavin expected to be on the transfer market this summer Samir Nasri a 30m target of Bayern Munich Jack Wilshire set to be named to U21s despite Arsenal not wanting it
Re: 2012 Rumor Mill/Transfers Interested in Lille winger Gervinho Denilson has asked to be moved to Italy or Spain. No word whether his contract is up or if he will be sold.
Re: 2012 Rumor Mill/Transfers Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is preparing a bid for Stuttgart centre-back Serdar Tasci and Bayer Leverkusen goakeeper Rene Adler, 25, and hopes that an outlay of £22m will seal deals for the German duo. Arsenal are looking at Montpellier's 29-year-old Bosnia international centre-back Emir Spahic. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is thought to prefer Germany star Per Mertesacker but is looking at alternatives if a deal cannot be struck with Werder Bremen to sign the 25-year-old. (we'd have to splash out 25-30m to buy Mertesacker so...) Adebayor is on his way to Italy. Says something that Balotelli is preferred. Adebayor will be playing for Staines Town in no time. Speaking of out of favour, "worst career move possible" Hleb is probably going to sign with Sp*urs or some other middling Premership team now that Birming**** City are relegated (joy). We're still interested in Mark Schwartzer because we're pathetic.
Re: 2012 Rumor Mill/Transfers Inter Milan have offered 5.5m for Gael Clichy and the French left back wants to go Real Madrid like right back Bacary Sagna Zenit St-Petersburg would like to sign Andrey Arshavin back for 7m Nicklas Bendtner would like to move on with Bayern Munich interested for 9m
Re: 2012 Rumor Mill/Transfers Arsenal will announce the signing of Carl Jenkinson from Charlton for a compensation fee of 1m.
