To sign for Man United this summer:
Nasri 7/2, Modric 4/1 or Sneijder 1/5
Arsenal and Barcelona have officially reached an agreement in principle for the transfer of Spanish playmaker Cesc Fabregas. The Gunners made the announcement during Barca’s Spanish Super Cup tie against arch rivals Real Madrid, with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reiterating that the club did not wish for Fabregas to leave but had to accept the offer in light of the player’s wish to switch clubs.
The midfielder, who joined Arsenal from Barcelona in 2003, will now undergo a medical and agree personal terms on Monday before being officially presented to the press as a Barcelona player. The transfer fee agreed was not revealed, but is rumoured to be around £35m, with Arsenal initially holding out for somewhere close to £40m.
Fabregas was not included in the squad for Arsenal’s season opener against Newcastle on Saturday, a game the Gunners drew 0-0.

Man Utd turn attention to Goetze after cooling Sneijder interest

To sign for Man United this summer:
Nasri 7/2, Modric 4/1 or Sneijder 1/5
Manchester United have turned to rising German star Mario Goetze as a possible replacement for Paul Scholes after failing to make headway in bringing Wesley Sneijder to Old Trafford. Sneijder’s wage demands proved to be a stumbling block in a switch from Italy to England and media reports now say that Ferguson is looking to Goetze as a long term successor to the now retired Scholes.
Goetze was one the stars of Dortmund’s title winning campaign last season and is widely touted as the next big thing in German football. He turned in an accomplished performance way beyond his years when Germany beat Brazil in a recent friendly. Coach Jupp Heynckes is keen to hang on to Goetze if possible, having already lost Nuri Sahin to Jose Morinho’s Real Madrid earlier this summer.

Shakhtar coach- Arsenal interested in Jadson

Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu has officially claimed that Arsenal are interested in the services of the Ukrainian club’s Brazilian star Jadson. The playmaker’s name had been taken in the media a few days ago as a possible replacement for the outgoing duo of Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas but when quizzed about the link, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said that they were not in talks with Shakhtar.
But Shakhtar boss Lucescu has now officially gone on record to say that the Gunners want the 27 year old and now any potential transfer depended on the player himself. Jadson, who played for Brazil in this summer’s Copa America campaign, is valued at somewhere around £12m. Shakhtar signed the player from Atletico way back in 2005 for about a quarter of that amount.
