The real deals
Summer's arrival means Europe's footballing money men will spend the next
few months chasing after anyone remotely rumoured to be capable of kicking a
ball. Observer Sport profiles the top 20 players they should be should be
shaking their tic-tacs at
Sunday May 23, 2004
The Observer
FERNANDO TORRES (20)
POSITION: STRIKER
CLUB: ATLETICO MADRID
RATED : £18M
Rated the best young player in Europe and the one name every one of the top
clubs would love to sign. Made captain of his club at 19, he is on a long
contract and will not be a free agent until he is 24. Atlético have already
rejected huge offers from Manchester United, Chelsea and Milan, but they
failed to qualify for Europe and need the money. Atlético president Enrique
Cerezo says: 'They can keep knocking at the door, but we will continue to
refuse to open it. Some of the money that has already been offered to us has
been crazy.' Torres was a European champion with Spain under-16s and
under-19s and hopes to add the senior title this summer when he partners
Raúl in Portugal. Scored 17 league goals for Atlético this season.
RUMOUR HAS IT: Torres follows the English game very closely and would love
to come here at some point. He is less interested in Italy and would not
want to play for Real Madrid. It all depends on how deep United's pockets
are.
PABLO (22)
POSITION: CENTRE-BACK
CLUB: ALBACETE
RATED: £5m
One of the Primera Liga 's best centre-backs, who has been followed by Real
Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Newcastle and Bayern Munich since he started
showing his class in the second division last year. Solid, quick and a great
marker.
RUMOUR HAS IT: Nearly joined Newcastle last summer. His contract ends next
season and he's keen to move - Arsenal watched him last week.
GERARD PIQUE (17)
POSITION: CENTRE-BACK
CLUB: BARCELONA
RATED: <£1m
The best under-17 centre-half in Spain. Still developing: has the physique,
skill on the ball and good anticipation. A mixture of John Terry and
Fernando Hierro. Played in the recent European youth championship (Spain
lost in the final against France).
RUMOUR HAS IT: Manchester United lead Arsenal and Chelsea in the race for
his signature.
RONALDINHO (24)
POSITION: FORWARD
CLUB: BARCELONA
RATED: £25m
Ronaldinho wants an extra bonus for his fantastic season - if they had a
footballer of the year in Spain it would be the Brazilian - but Barça aren't
keen to offer it. He insists he wants to stay for a long time and return the
love of the fans. 'It makes me happy if clubs are watching me and want me
because it means that what I am doing is being recognised,' he says. 'But I
see my future at Barcelona.'
RUMOUR HAS IT: Barcelona might be keen to sell - despite denials - to wipe
out their debts. Manchester United would love to have him.
DAVID TREZEGUET
(26) POSITION: STRIKER
CLUB: JUVENTUS
RATED: £8m
France's Euro 2000 golden-goal hero has looked increasingly disgruntled
since Juve refused to award him a new contract. 'I'm not getting the money I
deserve.'
RUMOUR HAS IT: Juventus thought they had agreed a deal to sell him to
Barcelona - but Trezeguet isn't convinced after Chelsea confirmed their
interest. The possible deal - worth £15m - could take Hernán Crespo to Juve.
JOAQUIN (22)
POSITION: RIGHT-WINGER
CLUB: BETIS
RATED: £13m
Since signing a new deal till 2010 (that will put the transfer price up) his
form has suffered, but a move seems closer than ever. Nobody of his
generation takes players on like he does. Seven goals this season make him
top scorer for Betis.
RUMOUR HAS IT: Says he would prefer to stay in Spain - but wouldn't mind
Chelsea either. 'It seems they are negotiating with the president. I can't
really say any more - only that I don't dislike Chelsea...'
SAMUEL ETO'O (23)
POSITION: FORWARD
CLUB: MALLORCA
RATED: £15m
Still half-owned by Real Madrid and in his last season at Mallorca. Real's
new coach, José Antonio Camacho, will decide if he goes back or not. Chelsea
nearly signed him last summer but went for Hernán Crespo instead. With
Cameroon he has won the African Cup of Nations twice and Olympic gold in
Atlanta. He has the skill to succeed everywhere.
RUMOUR HAS IT: Barcelona have approached him - but he wants to go back to
Real: 'It would enchant me to return to Madrid.'
ALBERTO GILARDINO (21)
POSITION: STRIKER
CLUB: PARMA
RATED: £20m
The most talented young striker in Italy who has somehow managed to replace
both Adrian Mutu and Adriano at Parma this season, scoring 23 in 34 games.
'I know that there are teams in Italy and abroad who follow me and I read
all about it in the papers,' he says. 'It makes me smile.'
RUMOUR HAS IT: Parma are desperate for cash after the Parmalat meltdown
earlier this season and after missing out on the Champions League. Only a
few clubs could afford him and it would be tempting for Chelsea to swap him
for Mutu, but Gilardino is keen on Italy or Spain. 'If no one in Serie A
wants me, I would be very happy to join Real Madrid.'

 RATED: £8m
