Inter bid for Lampard
July 18, 2008
Inter Milan have upped their offer for Frank Lampard to £11m. Inter have been tracking Lampard for the majority of the summer but are becoming frustrated with bid after bid being rejected by Chelsea.
Inter’s chairmen Massimo Moratti said…
“Lampard is the priority but naturally in cases like this I have been looking around for some time. If it is not possible to sign Lampard, we would take a player with the most similar characteristics. Lampard is a very serious lad. Certainly he is torn between having the pleasure of doing something new and a sense of duty towards his club. In the end it’s up to him to find a solution.”
With Phil Scolari hoping to trim his squad the new bid may be accepted and Frank may move on to a leaf in his career.
Fergie reveals Berbatov bid
July 18, 2008
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed who his sole transfer target is after signalling his intent to sign Dimitar Berbatov. Fergie revealed that Man Utd have made an offer to Tottenham for the Bulgarian striker.
He said…
”We have made Tottenham an offer on Berbatov and we have good expectations that this deal will go through. Berbatov has been impressive during a long time and would be a great addition to our attack.”
Man Utd’s only obstacle is the continued interest by Barcelona. They are monitoring the situation with Berbatov and may pounce after the sale of Ronaldhino to AC Milan.
Fergie continued…
“I think time will work for us more than against us. We will not stress this situation. We are hoping to have a constructive conversation with Tottenham in the near future.”
Many believe the signing of Berbatov may be to replace Ronaldo who has been strongly linked with Real Madrid.
