It’s a bit of a rest day in the press following the big money deal of Kaka, who was signed and sealed yesterday. Whilst Madrid's Florentino has gone on record as saying that they will do anything and everything they can to get Cristiano Ronaldo's signature, there won't be any movement on that transfer until later in the summer.
Barcelona are staying 'calm' amidst Real Madrid's spending - but that’s probably only because they are signing Serie A's best player Zlatan Ibrahimovich in return for Samuel Eto'o and £10m. A good deal for all concerned, but it won't be confirmed until June 30th according to Italy's Gazzetta newspaper.
With the big deals on hold for the time being, its time for the smaller moves to take some of the limelight - apart from there aren't many of them either!? Welsh international Carl Fletcher is set to sign for Plymouth, and the wonderfully named Prince Tagoe (Ghanaian international) will sign for Hoffenheim, but they're not really the stories the press likes to cover!
The managerial merry-go-round continue, with Felipe Scolari now a manager in Uzbekistan, Tony Mowbray set for talks with Celtic, and Martinez confirmed at Wigan.
Setanta Sports' impending collapse will leave many Scottish Premier League and English Championship clubs struggling for cash, which makes signing players on free transfers and loans all the more important.
