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.

Manchester United are set to hijack Chelsea's bid for Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero. Atletico have said that they will not be accepting any bids for Aguero, that means that any club who want to buy...

Sir Alex Ferguson is planning an audacious raid on Liverpool for Kop striking hero Fernando Torres.
Armed with the £80 million windfall from Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Real Madrid, the Manchester United boss is determined to make his own impact in a transfer market which is becoming bloated with money from the big clubs.

This source comes up with a rumour so outrageously unlikely I just had to speak out against it!

Man Utd are being linked with a triple £100m raid on La Liga for David Silva, David Villa and Sergio Aguero.

Old Trafford chief Sir Alex Ferguson has already publicly declared his major summer transfer business is over but it has not stopped rumours of a double swoop on Valencia for striker Villa and winger Silva.

We're into a new week, and this is a week that could get off to a big bang in the transfers world. AC Milan star Kaka could very well make the switch to Real Madrid in the coming days, and a few other top European clubs could nail down a few new squad additions sometime this week as well.

Cristiano Ronaldo's £80million transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid will be the catalyst for massive round of transfers. Here are today's latest transfer rumours.

El Blaugrana reported that Barcelona's third uniform for the 2009-10 season will be quite controversial. Some who might get caught off-guard, might think that Palermo have invaded the Nou Camp. That will be part of the controversy as Barcelona will be wearing pink in addition to their orange away kits as divulged [.

The biggest news in the football world is still the impending sale of Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid for a world-record £80m.

However, in this morning's transfer roundup, you won't find any Ronaldo-related news, though there is a mention of someone that Manchester United could go after with the money they're set to soon receive from Real.

It's a busy time in Manchester, as the red side and the blue side are both busy trying to bolster their squads ahead of next season.

But they're not the only clubs being linked with big-money purchases in this morning's transfer news roundup, though the other club mentioned is having nothing to do with said big-money move.

You knew it was only a matter of time before it would happen, even with the world's current economical state. Real Madrid have broken the world transfer record that they already held by landing Kaka from AC Milan for £59m.

That signing looks to be only the start of Real's monster summer spending spree, and if they can land one of their prime targets (you should already know who I'm talking about without me having to mention him by name), we could see the above record broken once again before the end of the summer.

A new week stands to bring many more signings as the summer transfer window merrily rolls along, and according to the latest transfer news and rumors, we may expect to see a few big names make moves sometime this week.

Until they actually move, we can't add their names to our summer transfer lists, but this morning's roundup gives us at least one new name to add to the lists, with tidbits on several more who could be very, very soon.

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.

England

Chelsea To Land Sturridge

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

Several of England and Europe's top clubs already being proactive with their summer transfer plans. Who's making bids and trying to seal a few deals before the window officially opens?

Liverpool Make £15m Bid for Valencia's Silva

Liverpool have made a take-it-or-leave-it offer of £15m to Valencia for winger David Silva.

Stop the presses.
Our worst nightmare has come true.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
But being the Offside's Valencia CF blogger, it's my duty.

Take a seat. Take a deep breath.
Want a cup of tea to sooth your senses?
Comfortable? Breathe in, breathe out .

We're already in the middle of June, and though the signings haven't been coming hard and fast just yet, that doesn't mean that there's a shortage of action thus far in the summer transfer window.

In this morning's transfer news and rumors roundup, we've got tidbits from England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, and Greece, with many big names and big clubs looking to spend, spend, spend.

With Just two days left in the Summer Transfer Window, Clubs scramble to get their men.

I had been waiting and waiting for Rafael Van der Vaart to grace the English Premier League stage but the wait kept getting more and more frustrating. The reason? Well, I wanted to feature Sylvie Van der Vaart, Rafael's wife. She is THE WAG of all WAGs. See for yourself in this video by Vuicy.com.
And she looks real happy in Spain in this video by sporTVyou when Rafael signed for Real Madrid.

Another week, another rumor linking Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid. Will it ever end? Not until he actually moves to Madrid, which can't happen soon enough for some. But, until he moves, he'll still be popping up in our transfer news and rumors column, along with several other tidbits from around England and Europe.

It seems like the summer transfer window is opening up for the 2009/2010 season. Below are some major confirmed transfer & rumors that are in the works for high profile Argentine players.
Confirmed
Emanuel Villa (Forward - Derby, UK) >>> Cruz Azul, Mexico
Diego Milito (Forward - Genoa, Italy) >>> Inter Milan

Working as a freelance journalist has its perks but one of the drawbacks is having free time when the rest of the world is out there earning a crust. This time must be filled somehow and today I found myself perusing the BBC website checking the scores from the early kick offs in the Europa League qualifiers.

Update: Manchester City have signed Carlos Tevez on a 5-year deal.

It looks to be a busy week ahead in the transfers world. A lot of money could be set to change hands in the Premier League and across Europe, though if Sir Alex Ferguson is to be believed, none of that business will be taking place at Old Trafford.

I couldn't update regularly in last couple of days. But it looks like there was not much of development about Barca in Transfer Market. But the biggest news in Transfer Market as today is a reported 50 million bid for Valencia striker Villa. Valencia is reported to be asking for more but there is a high chance of Barca beating Real madrid to his signature.

Every transfer window, there are at least a few moves that completely catch you by surprise, which is surprising in itself, considering that there are so many deals that are public news well before they're actually completed.

We've got a few of those tidbits in this morning's roundup, and we've also got several new signings to report and to add to the summer transfer lists.

Who's being linked with moves in today's transfer gossip pages? In today's transfer news and rumors roundup, we've got a little something from several top European leagues to get you over the Wednesday hump.

England

Manchester City Deny Messi Move

Manchester City are denying that they've made an approach for Barcelona star Lionel Messi, after reports that City had offered 150m to buy out the remainder of Messi's contract.

It's a relatively light day in transfer news and rumors, but there are still rumors from England, Spain, Italy, and France to report on as we get ready for what should be a wild final day in the English Premier League.

England

O'Neill Puts £10m Price Tag on Barry

If Liverpool or anyone else want to land Aston Villa's Gareth Barry, they'll have to fork out at least £10m for the midfielder.

In case you may have missed anything over the weekend, we've got a nice fresh batch of transfer news and rumors to deliver bright and early this morning.

In the not-so-breaking news category, Manchester United aren't going to be signing Carlos Tevez permanently, but he may well have already agreed a move to a new destination not far from his old home.

Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan has revealed the reason on his Old Trafford departure football boots. The Uruguayan caught the infamous hair-dryer treatment from Sir Alex Ferguson after he ignored instructions on what studs to wear. On his last game for Manchester United, the striker was told to wear studs for soft-ground as the pitch [.

We've got a laundry list of transfer news and rumors in today's roundup, from England, Scotland, Spain, Italy, Germany, and France. Who's being linked with big (and small) moves for names from here and there? It's worth noting that Steve McClaren might not be too happy of a man if he read today's roundup.

Chances are you've forgotten and we could've gotten away without assuming any responsibility whatsoever, but there's no integrity in that and we're nothing if not...nevermind. Back in September we listed the ten biggest transfer bargains of the summer and though one year is hardly enough time to properly assess a player's impact on a squad, it's [.

Arsenal have announced a friendly on 29 July against Hannover 96. The game will take place in Hannover's AWD Arena. Hannover are a mid table Bundesliga team.

Arsenal will get back to pre-season training on 6 July with our traditional curtain raiser against Barnet on 18 July. Arsenal have not yet announced any other friendlies, but traditionally we go to Austria and have two games against minor opposition, before stepping up the process.

Frazier Campbell has joined Hull City for £6m from Manchester United

It's starting to get down to crunch time for sides looking to add the necessary reinforcements to their squads with races for titles, European places, and survival in mind. Of course, every signing this month isn't just about 'the now,' so make sure you watch this space daily so that you can say you [.

Tomorrow, all hell breaks loose. Well, not quite, but it's pretty close. The summer transfer window kicks off tomorrow, and though there's already been a little activity, the start of the window means that a number of signings will become official, and many more will get on their way to being so in short order.

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...

The Spanish Primera Division or La Liga begins it 2009-10 Season on Saturday August 29th with Real Madrid and FC Barcelona the clear favorites.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger originally sent his scouts to Ajax to look at centre-half Thomas Vermaelen, and his £10m raid ended up pretty well.

Pencil in the weekend of November 28/29. That is when Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and the rest of Real Madrid's high-priced roster takes on Lionel Messi and the defending Champions League Champions Barcelona at the Camp Nou. The return leg is April 10/11 at the Bernabeu.

It is usually the matchups between the big four in the Premier League that we look for first, but Real's spending this summer has been unprecedented and these two La Liga giants might well be the best two teams in Europe at the moment.

There's so much fatherly love today here, Futbolitas! That's a photo of Kun Agüero taken last Sunday after he scored the winning goal against Barcelona, which he dedicated to his son Benjie. "There was no crying. He's a genius and behaved well," said Aguero of his son. Let's ignore the fact that he's only 20 for now, [.

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.

In the midst of looking up all of the latest transfer news and rumors on footballers big and small, I often come across a talented unknown or little-known being linked with a certain club.

Are they going to be the next [insert legend past or present here]? Some do, some don't, it's just the hit or miss nature of the game.
