After having such a glorious year at club level, helping Inter Milan winning the treble last season, Dutch midfielder, Wesley Sneijder looks ready to lead his country for a World Cup glory in South Africa. This fine showing for both country and club have eventually set the midfielder as a top candidate to win the upcoming best player award, the new FIFA-Ballon d’Or, which recently has been combined into one award.

The 2010 World Cup has been the stage for some players to achieve higher stardom status and getting more interest from other clubs, that pretty much what happens to Bayern Muenchen’s midfielder, Bastian Schweinsteiger. After another exciting performance in South Africa, Schweinsteigger has once again attract the interest of two Milan clubs, Ac Milan and Inter Milan, who if my memories are correct have also set eyes couple of years back right after the 2006 WC.
Last season wasn’t all glorious and fun for Mario Balotelli as he has had such a troubling time with Inter Milan after his fall out with the fans and some of Inter players, this fact has pretty much caused many speculation regarding his future at the club. Although the arrival of new coach could give Balo a chance to restart everything once again, it seems that the Nerazzuri’s fans and management staff cant really tolerate his unpredictable behavior for another season as the club’s president, Massimo Moratti, has recently stated that the young striker could be leaving next summer.
“We’ll listen to offers for Mario Balotelli. This team is strong and can repeat its success, even without Balotelli and Maicon.” Moratti said to the press, “We will not abandon any type of negotiation and won’t slam the phone down on anyone,” added the President.”
It’s no secret that the possibilities of Inter Milan keeping Douglas Maicon next season are very slim as the players himself has already revealed his wish to play for Real Madrid next season. However, despite ready to part ways with the Brazilian international, it seems that Inter doesn’t want to loose one of their best player without getting something rewarding. Report said that due to the persistence of both parties in setting up their offer, Inter have offered another solution to reduce the gap between Madrid’s offer and Inter’s demand which is by asking a player from Los Blancos.
After rumors about the possibilities of loosing one of their best players, Douglas Maicon, emerged from the media, it looks like Inter Milan is already preparing life without the Brazilian International. Although theres haven’t been any agreement reached by both Real Madrid and Inter regarding the possible transfer, the media in Spain in Italy believe it will only a matter of time before the deal is struck and as a step forward the Italian giant reportedly has line up a replacement for the 29-years-old right back.
It looks like the rumors about Inter Milan’s right back, Douglas Maicon’s departure from last season’s treble winners could be realized soon after the player’s agent, Antonio Caliendo, reveals Maicon’s interest in joining his former coach Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid. Caliendo stated to the press in Spain that at the moment he is waiting for both teams’ president, Florentino Perez and Massimo Moratti to make an agreement about the deal, as there is still a gap between Madrid’s offer and Inter’s demands.
