Obviously the biggest transfer news of the day is Manchester United accepting an 80m offer from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo, and justifiably so.

However, there's a lot more going on than Ronaldo's impending world-record dream move to Real, and in today's transfer news and rumors roundup, there's a wealth of tidbits to discuss.

We've got a couple of new signings to add to our lists of confirmed summer transfers this morning, and those new additions could soon be followed by a few more, according to the latest transfer speculation.

Who's on the move, and who could be on the move soon? Find out here.

Chelsea To Land Sturridge

Chelsea are set to sign young Manchester City striker Daniel Sturridge.

MADRID —Soccer legend Diego Maradona is a grandpa (or "abuelo" as they say in his native land). The current Argentina national team coach became a grandfather when his youngest daughter Giannina, 21,  gave birth baby Benjamin Aguero Maradona was born at Madrid's Monteprincipe hospital on Thursday.

Man Utd seems to be keen on landing Sergio "Kun" Aguero and will be willing to include Nani and Berbatov in a potential deal if the Spanish media are to be believed. He has a 60 million euros buy out clause. The latest offer for the Argentinian support striker has Nani and 40 million euros in cash for his services.

Atletico Madrid have clearly stated that one of their star players Sergio Aguero is not for sale. Man United are preparing a high bid for the player and they hope that Atletico won't be able to turn...

Well that was quite a month, wasn't it? We're already at the end of June, believe it or not, and it was quite the busy month in the transfers world.

Many pounds and euros have exchanged hands around Europe already, and it's no surprise that the month ends with a couple more new signings to add to our summer transfer lists.

A model named Luisana Varacalli has been going around telling people that she spent a hot night with Kun Aguero at a nightclub, thus cheating on Gianina behind her back. Varacalli also confirmed that she has "photos" of their time spent together.

Kun Aguero, who is being tracked by a number of big European clubs, has made the headlines once again, but this time for all the wrong reasons. The reports in Argentina are suggesting that Atletico Madrid striker is in danger of being dropped from the national team, since Maradona believes that the player is cheating on his pregnant daughter Giannina.

Altogether now..... awwwwww! What a lovely photo of Niño Torres and his daughter, Nora! Ignore the new papa's hair though it looks straight out of a 1970s-based comic featuring neon yellow pants. Olala looks exhausted but who cares?

The club seem to have narrowed their search for a top hitman down to two, but who will they choose, Sergio Aguero or Samuel Eto'o? Inter's vision to create a far more competitive squad and increase fire-power up front has left them with a tough decision - they will have to choose between Atletico Madrid ace [.

Everybody's favorite international star-to-MLS rumor re-appeared over the weekend, and while nothing has really changed with regard to the long-discussed potential THierry Henry to New York Red Bull rumor, it still managed to resurface and create a little more buzz.

This time around it was the Daily Mail with a story on how Henry is set to pass on a move to Manchester City in order to join the Red Bulls after the 2010 World Cup.

Four games played on Saturday of Round 10 in "La Liga". Here is aquick & brief summary of events.Once again REAL MADRID defeated ATLETICO DE MADRID at the"Vicente Calderon" Stadium 2-3 in a dramatic game. Real started without Raúl & Atletico left Sergio Aguero on the bench, the latterdue to leg muscle worries which has caused controversy.

Some links to feed your mouse with 1. David Beckham to follow Carlo Ancelotti to Chelsea. Hmm, Becks has no loyalty, so yeah, I could see that... [@ BigSoccer] 2. Ribery, Villa or Aguero (or all three)? How Chelsea should...

The likely departure of Cristiano Ronaldo is sure to leave a huge gap in the Manchester United team, but that gap can always be filled with the £80m in exchange for Ronaldo. Who will the Red Devils bring in this summer?

Frank Ribery, Bayern Munich: Well, here is a quality winger that may just be able to fill Ronaldo's boots, but he definitely won't come cheap.

Come on Rafa!

David Silva has been linked with us longer than Bill Shankly it feels, but can anyone really see him coming to Anfield? surely by the time we sign him he will be past his prime, Aquilani I personally find a strange fit, I admit that I haven't seen that much of him and when I have seen him he seems ok rather than outstanding, his fitness record isn't great plus the success of the Italians in the EPL isn't fantastic.

For the second time in a row, Atletico Madrid's visit to Camp NOu turned out to be a nightmare. But it was better than last time, I mean they score one more and conceded one less too this time around. With this heavy defeat Atletico's start to the season has gone from bad to worse. First half goals from Ibrahmovic, Messi, Alves and Keita, and an injury time strike from Messi condemned Atletico's to their heaviest defeat this season.

Now according to ESPN, the not so "Great One" Jose Mourinho is looking to add both Antonio Cassano and Deco to Diego Milito and Thiago Motta as Inter Milan continue to add to their collection of talented, but miscast players. Exactly how many players does this team need? Are they trying to build a third team in Milan?

Everybody began the Atletico year talking about Kun Aguero. We did. And rightfully so. But nose into a discussion about Madrid's second team and you'll hear them gushing on one name - and it ain't Kun. It's Diego Forlan, the 2008/09 ESM Golden Boot winner for the second time in five years and perhaps the [.

Chelsea's bid for Sergio Aguero has stalled over the striker's incredible wage demands. The Argentina star wants a staggering £10million a year to quit Spaniards Atletico Madrid for the Premier League. That would easily make him the highest-paid player in England on a whopping £200,000 A WEEK. Chelsea's top earners at the moment are skipper John Terry and [.

Spanish sports daily "Marca" in its afternoon digital edition gives thenews that MANCHESTER UNITED maybe elaborating a plan to takeover to Old Trafford ATLETICO DE MADRID Argentine InternationalSERGIO "KUN" AGÜERO.Atletico has informed all Clubs interestedthat Aguero has a contractual release clause of 60M€ (+ VAT) &that this is the figure in any negotiation.

The real ‘fireworks' of our pre-season will kick off tomorrow at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal will entertain Athletico Madrid and Rangers on Saturday and Sunday respectively in order to retain the Emirates Cup.

This year's competition will kick off with Paris Saint Germain against Rangers but then the host will play Spanish outfit Athletico Madrid in what is to believe going to be an entertaining encounter.

Sergio Aguero celebrates Argentina's 3-0 rout of Brazil at the Beijing Olympics

There are matches being played all over the world. Then there is the Brazil vs Argentina encounter.

Diego Maradona on the day before the match praised the thousands of fans who had shown up at the Ros Tower Hotel.

According to the Madrid newspaper Diario AS, Maradona does not want the upcoming friendly against Spain to be played in Atletico de Madrid's stadium.

Maradona wants the game to be played in Real Madrid's stadium because he does not want to be in a stadium full of Atletico fans and have to deal with being pressured by the fans to include Sergio Aguero in the lineup.

In form Bellamy will stay at Manchester City
As we mentioned a few weeks ago, last January in the Premier League we were treated to a handful of major transfers. I mean, some massive, massive moves: Arshavin, Heskey, Given, Beattie, Defoe, Bellamy, etc. all moved clubs...
So, who will make the move in 2010?

In the lead up to this weekend's Madrid derby, los Blancos' top hitman has praised his opponents' own Argentine hot-shot. Two of Argentina's hottest young forwards, Gonzalo Higuain and Sergio Aguero, will square off for bragging rights this weekend when their respective clubs, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, collide in the local derby.

The World Cup is always a great stage for players to go out and make a real name for themselves. Remember an 18-year-old Michael Owen bursting onto the scene with a fantastic solo goal against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup? Or how about Sunday Oliseh and Jay Jay Okocha bursting into prominence in the 1994 tournament in America.

First off, congrats to the Blues for a 2-1 FA Cup final victory against Everton. Though Timmy's squad looked a bit uninterested throughout most of the game -- particularly on Lampard's game-winner.
Also, Stamford Bridge is certainly expecting the arrival of now ex-AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, who recently announced he's leaving the club (and will be replaced by Leonardo).

Carlos Tevez (Manchester United):
Tevez had a tremendous impact in Manchester's 5-2 victory over Tottenham. He didn't score any goals but created a goal conducive environment during the second half once he substituted for Nani. All five goals came in the second half. What makes Tevez such a special player is his ability to switch from striker to playmaker whenever the need arises.

Atletico Madrid last night told Manchester United it will cost them at least £52m to sign Sergio Aguero.

But Atletico will hold out for the full release clause in [.

1. Real Madrid have agreed to sign defender Raul Albiol from Valencia on a five-year contract, the Primera Liga club said on Thursday, for around 15million euros. (Reuters)
2. Chelsea's summer of frustration in the transfer market deepened when Adriano Galliani, the Milan vice-president, said that Alexandre Pato will remain at San Siro while Valencia's David Villa, another to have attracted covetous glances from Stamford Bridge, ruled out a move to England.

The big news of the weekend thus far is the completion of the formality that was Cristiano Ronaldo's world-record £80m transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid. In case you hadn't heard though, Ronaldo has signed a six-year deal with Real, and he'll officially be unveiled as a Real player on July 6.

Lot of 'em today:

• Has the Xabi-to-Real Madrid move been agreed on?
  
• Chelsea won't sell Joe Cole.
  
• Senderos to Everton?
  
• Blackburn gets Blues' Di Santo.
  
• Messi gets new Barca offer.
  
• Sunderland nearly has Bent.
  
• Trezeguet staying at Juve.

The Clock is, as ever, ticking!

First off, a happy Eid to all who celebrate it, and particularly to Barca's muslim players, Keita, Yaya and Abidal! Right now we're running late and you'll have to excuse us the match report for Barca-Atletico; but we've rounded up all the post-match tidbits:
