De Laurentiis: I've only met Manchester City about Cavani

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed Manchester City are the only club he has met with to discuss Edinson Cavani, but says their offer was "inadequate".

Despite new boss Rafa Benitez insisting he wants to keep his star man, it is looking increasingly likely Cavani will depart San Paolo this summer, with Real Madrid, Chelsea and City all interested.

But the Uruguayan's £53.3 million release clause is proving a stumbling block to any deal, and De Laurentiis confirmed the offer City tabled fell significantly short of this asking price.

"The only meeting I've had has been with Manchester City, but the offer was inadequate," he told reporters.

Cavani recently voiced his discontent at Napoli's refusal to consider any offers lower than his buyout clause, and hinted he will seek talks with De Laurentiis now Uruguay's Confederations Cup campaign is over.

But De Laurentiis insists there is no need for any such meeting, and re-asserted his negotiating position.

"There is no need to have a face to face with Cavani," he added.

"If a club offers 63 million euros then we would allow him to leave. The release clause will have been activated.

"It's not fair that Cavani has distractions while he is playing in an important tournament like the Confederations Cup.

"Should we receive an offer, then fine. If this offer doesn't arrive the Cavani will stay in Italy with us."

Coment : Cavani is very appropriate in high esteem because of his game in the last season. many top clubs who want it. And salaries paid Equitable did not rule out a move away from Napoli Cavani

Zanetti targets Inter success under Mazzarri

Javier Zanetti is hopeful Inter can challenge for top honours again next season under Walter Mazzarri after a disappointing 2012-13 campaign.

The Giuseppe Meazza side had to settle for ninth spot in the table last term, but Zanetti has little doubt that they will be back among the Italian elite next season with the new boss at the helm.

"Mazzarri? We’re talking about a coach who has been successful wherever he’s been. I hope, indeed, I know, that he’ll do the same at Inter," Zanetti told reporters.

"We all want to bounce back and get back up to where we belong. Our president and the club will do everything in their power to make this a competitive team again.

"We’re setting out to be very competitive right from the start of the season: a club such as Inter should always be aiming to win the title. We’ll have to do that right down to the last kick of the season."

The Argentine, who is still recovering from an Achilles injury, then briefly discussed the situation of Antonio Cassano, who has been linked with a move away from Inter to Genoa.

He added: "Cassano to leave? I have a fantastic relationship with Antonio. He’s a true champion. I’ve read about the rumour, but I don’t have any idea about what’ll happen."

Coment : I hope Inter can be champions again next season with a new coach and Zanetti can play again after his injury healed and returned to lead his team mates

Pagliuca advises Inter to cash in on £25.6m Handanovic

Former Inter goalkeeper Gianluca Pagliuca has advised the Giuseppe Meazza side to cash in on Samir Handanovic if they receive a €30 million (£26.5m) offer for the Slovenia international.

The 28-year-old has recently been linked with a move to Barcelona as the Catalans prepare for life after Victor Valdes, whose contract runs out next summer, and the veteran feels that it would be in Inter's best interests to let go of the shot-stopper if a good offer comes in.

"I would sell him if someone offered €30m. That's a lot of money," Pagliuca told Sky Sport.

"He is one of the best goalkeepers of the younger generation alongside Manuel Neuer at Bayern Munich and then there's more experienced players like Iker Casillas and Gianluigi Buffon.

"Handanovic is a goalkeeper who has been doing very well in the past few years."

The Slovenian joined Inter from Udinese in the summer of 2012 and immediately became a key player at the Nerazzurri. His contract with the Giuseppe Meazza side is due to expire in 2016.

Coment :  I do not agree with the opinions Pagliuca, because if Inter sell Handanovic Inter will lose one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

David Villa says 'yes' to Tottenham ahead of summer move

EXCLUSIVE
By Greg Stobart in Rio de Janeiro

Tottenham are closing in on a deal to sign David Villa after the Barcelona star confirmed he would like to move to White Hart Lane during talks with the player and his representatives, Goal has learned.

The Spain striker has reached a broad agreement on personal terms to move to Spurs this summer and is eager to play in the Premier League.

Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has spoken informally to Villa on the phone while the club's new technical director, Franco Baldini, has held productive discussions with the 31-year-old's agent.

Spurs officials are understood to have been in Brazil last week, where they held talks over a deal for Villa - who is in the country for the Confederations Cup - while also reaching an agreement on a £17 million deal to sign Paulinho from Corinthians.

The Londoners believe that they are in a strong position to land Villa despite reported interest from Fiorentina but they hope to convince Barca to lower their £12m asking price.

Tottenham are ready to pay around £8m for Spain's all-time leading scorer, who has just one year left on his contract at Camp Nou and, due to his age, has little sell-on value.

Villa himself has said that he will decide on his future after the Confederations Cup, where Spain have booked a place in Sunday's final against hosts Brazil at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.

Spurs are willing to pay the attacker more than £100,000-a-week but the former Valencia man is understood to have accepted that he must take a reduction on his £140,000 weekly salary at Barcelona.

Villa-Boas has made Villa his top final-third target for the summer transfer window as he looks to boost the club's forward line and improve Spurs' chances of a top-four finish next season.

Spurs tried to rival Arsenal for the Spaniard's signature in the January transfer window but Barcelona refused to sell the forward midway through the season.

The Gunners have dropped their interest in Villa while Barcelona are now prepared to sell the striker, who would find his opportunities further limited next season following the arrival of Neymar at the Liga giants.

Tottenham are looking to conduct their major transfer business early this year and have agreed a deal of £15m plus £2m in add-ons to sign Paulinho.

The 24-year-old is expected to sign an initial four-year contract and undergo a medical after the Confederations Cup final on Sunday, having scored the late winner in Brazil's semi-final win over Uruguay on Wednesday.

Coment : Tottenham striker is very likely to get it because barcelona catalan club that has gained brazil striker. if it has been officially Villa will likely duetkan with Defoe up front.

The Real Madrid president says that the club are closing in on the signings of both the Paris Saint-Germain boss and the Malaga playmaker, and hopes to announce the deals soon

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has confirmed that the Liga runners-up are close to securing the signings of both Malaga star Isco and Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Premier League runners-up Manchester City had been confident of tying up a deal for the Spain Under-21 star, but were always worried by the interest from los Blancos for the talented playmaker.

Meanwhile, Ancelotti has long been touted as a replacement for Jose Mourinho at the Santiago Bernabeu, but a deal has been delayed while PSG try to secure a replacement for the Italian coach.

"Now nothing has been signed," Perez told 20Minutos about Ancelotti.

"PSG could announce an agreement tomorrow which would allow him to join Madrid. We hope that everything turns out well. My coach is Ancelotti.

"The signing depends on Paris Saint-Germain reaching an agreement with Ancelotti and announce their new coach, [Laurent] Blanc."

On the signing of Isco, he added: "He has a big chance to be a Real Madrid player because he wants to go to Madrid and Madrid want him too.

"Isco is one of Spain's best players and the coaching team believe he's good enough to play for Madrid. I know he's excited to come. It's the same with me.

"If all goes well, we can announce his signing soon. Always after announcing the coach."

Coment : If Real Madrid successfully brought both then this team will be stronger next season. Real Madrid will certainly return laliga title.

Favourites Spain will face Brazil in the Confederations Cup final after a dramatic 7-6 penalty shoot-out victory against Italy in Fortaleza.

Spain substitute Jesus Navas drilled in the decisive penalty after Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci missed.
Italy dominated much of the 90 minutes but were left to pay for their misses.

Emanuele Giaccherini hit the Spain post in extra-time, while Gianluigi Buffon pushed Xavi's shot on to the woodwork.
Each of the first 12 penalties were converted in a high-quality shoot-out before Bonucci blasted his effort over Iker Casillas's crossbar.
His miss allowed new Manchester City winger Navas to coolly convert past Buffon to set up an eagerly anticipated clash against the host nation, 2-1 winners against Uruguay in their semi-final, in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.
But the complexion of the match would have been totally different had Italy, without injured striker Mario Balotelli, not squandered a host of goalscoring chances.
The Azzurri dominated a high-tempo first half as the tactical instructions of boss Cesare Prandelli - to stay tight and compact defensively before breaking quickly down the Spanish flanks - were carried out to perfection.
Spain, who beat their opponents 4-0 in the Euro 2012 final, looked vulnerable as they failed to cope with the Italian raids, but were left unpunished.
Italy wing-back Christian Maggio was the outstanding performer in a frenetic first half as he worried Spanish left-back Jordi Alba with his pace and movement down the right flank.
The Napoli player missed three gilt-edged chances, notably when heading straight at Casillas from six yards when unmarked, as well as creating spurned opportunities for Alberto Gilardino and Claudio Marchisio.
The stern expression etched across coach Vincente del Bosque's face as the game approached half-time epitomised Spain's worries.

Having guided the world and European champions to a record 28 competitive matches without defeat, the veteran coach has rarely seen his side struggle. But, despite his half-time intervention, their lethargic approach continued after the interval.
Italy, backed by a large vocal support inside the Estadio Castelao, continued to press with Marchisio denied by a desperate block from Gerard Pique and Giorgio Chiellini heading Andrea Pirlo's corner onto the roof of the Spanish net.
However, the energy of the hard-working Italians started to wane as they felt the effects of sweltering temperatures in northern Brazil.
Spain found renewed energy as the game entered extra-time - Xavi and Andres Iniesta pushing and probing the tiring Italian defence with their slick interchanges.
Play media

Pique saw a shot blocked, Daniele De Rossi poked clear away from Sergio Ramos and the Real Madrid defender then lashed over as Spain piled on the pressure with a succession of corners.
In the final moments of extra-time, Italy captain Buffon unconvincingly pushed Xavi's arcing long-range shot onto his left-hand post and escaped further punishment when Javi Martinez steered the rebound wide.
Seconds later, Navas's drilled cross was palmed away by Buffon as the Italians held out for penalties after a breathless finale.
Buffon and Casillas were virtual bystanders in a shoot-out full of cool finishes, but it was Spain who were left celebrating after Navas's winner and they travel to Rio aiming to add the Confederations Cup to their trophy haul.
Ahead of the match, nearly 90 people were arrested for rioting outside the stadium in Fortaleza.

Coment : Both countries played very well for 120 minutes but Spain showed a winning mentality to win on penalties. Navas a decisive victory over the Spanish became the kicker last.

Neymar: Barcelona complete £49m signing of Brazil striker

Brazil striker Neymar completed his move from Santos to Barcelona for £48.6m (57m euros)  on Monday.
The 21-year-old, who agreed to join the Spanish champions in May, passed his medical and signed a five-year deal. 
He said: "Money is OK but happiness takes priority. We decided to come to Barcelona. I had a lot of offers but I followed my heart.


"I think adjusting to European football may be difficult but I hope to adjust quickly."
The player - who was a target for Real Madrid  - is to travel back to Brazil for the upcoming Confederations Cup.
After arriving in Catalonia on a specially chartered private jet on Monday afternoon, hundreds of photographers were waiting to take his picture as he posed in front of the club's emblem.
Neymar - who has scored 20 goals in 33 appearances for his country - then passed a two-part medical examination and put pen to paper on a deal which runs until 2018.
He was later presented on the Nou Camp pitch in front of tens of thousands of screaming supporters.
"The thrill of being cheered when I entered the Nou Camp - it was hard not to cry," added the Brazilian. "My dream has come true.
"I've never worried about being the best in the world. The best is already here and that's Messi.
"I'm one of the luckiest men in the world to be able to play with him and it's an honour. I'm very happy to be realising my life's dream.
"To have the opportunity to play with great players I admire like Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta - I've begun a new stage of my life and I'm going to be very happy and achieve a lot."

Neymar waves to the Barcelona supporters in the Nou Camp at his unveiling
The signing ends years of speculation about which team would be the first to persuade him to make the move to Europe.
As well as Real,  Neymar had also been linked with Chelsea  and Manchester United  since making his debut for Santos in 2009.
He led the club to their greatest run since Brazil legend Pele stopped playing for the club in the 1970s, helping them win the 2010 Brazilian Cup, the 2011 Copa Libertadores and three straight Sao Paulo state championships.
He is the club's leading scorer in the post-Pele era with 138 goals in 229 matches.
Neymar is also considered Brazil's key player for the 2014 World Cup, which they are hosting. Next on his agenda is the warm-up event for the tournament, the Confederations Cup, which runs from 15-30 June.

Coment : One more great players to the world join barcelona. there are no great players like Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and others. With the influx of barcelona Neymar up front will be sharp.

And when I look into your eyes, I fall in love with you 
I wish there was a greeting of love from you
I feel only you Perfect
And when I expressed all for you

Ve lost all hope that once you give
When you chose to be with you

maybe just a fantasy I can have you
still kept the flavor that makes you always in my heart
and all the memories that will be erased by time
