Heinze says yes to OM

This is the surprise of Dassier Jean-Claude and Didier Deschamps ... In search of a central defender for a few weeks, Olympique de Marseille finally stopped his choice on Gabriel Heinze, ostracized from Real Madrid. Having first denied the Phocéens left and assault and convinced the Argentine international to join them for 1.5 million euros in compensation and a contract for three seasons in the key.

But where will stop Olympique Marseille? On Thursday, the White and Sky have announced the arrival for the next three seasons, Gabriel Heinze, who becomes the eleventh summer recruit Didier Deschamps, including the return of Garry Bocaly ready, to play first team this season, and Charley Fomena, and without taking into account the return of André Ayew and Elliot Grandin, pushed towards the exit.

No, Diakhate

While everyone has been waiting Diakhate Pope, the central defender of Dynamo Kiev, is finally Argentine international will strengthen the central defense of Heaven and White to the start of the season 2009-2010. A week ago or so, the player had refused to engage with the OM, eager to make a final season with Real Madrid before leaving in the summer of 2010, one year of the term of his lease.

But since the old Parisien has been excluded from the group by the new coach of the White House, Manuel Pellegrini, along with Rafael van der Vaart and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. In fact, the native Crespo returned to their initial position to operate, at 31, his return to Ligue 1.

Viewers of the French championship, and more specifically those of the Stade Velodrome, thus this fougeux central defender, also capable officer in the left lane, five years after his departure, he was the symbol par excellence of Paris Saint-Germain . Furthermore, it was in the club from the capital that the main interest was announced in early June.

A rookie shock

Supporters of Red and Blue dreamed of returning this land warrior, pugnacious, aggressive and never defeated. In the end, the latter again probably near Parc des Princes, but with the tunic of the enemy phocéens. Quite a blow ...

But no doubt that the Paris Club did little concerned about this and the White Sky and even less. Now, Didier Deschamps has obtained satisfaction and can count on four central defenders by trade, with Julien Rodriguez, Vitorino Hilton and Souleymane Diawara, the latter being required to hold in line to the side of the newcomer, which will cost 1.5 million euros to Marseille.

A very affordable price for a player if experienced compensated by a salary not disclosed but probably prohibitive (Heinze received more than 4 million per year on the other side of the Pyrenees). Remains how to "age" the new recruits over the next three seasons. At 31 years, Argentina is already in decline and has based his play on her looks, not particularly an ace of anticipation and placement. But in terms of duels and battles, Olympique de Marseille has undoubtedly made the right pick.

Real Madrid: a fourth Galactic in 48 hours?

Always looking for his fourth Galactic after Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, Real Madrid will finally be able to recruit. If the Spanish media have reported that the club merengue preparing the arrival of a world class player on this week, they did not Xabi Alonso in the case. But it is the middle of Liverpool, until perhaps the arrival of this mystery player, is more likely to be the fourth Galactico of Florentino Perez.

But everything will be done Thursday at the latest. Indeed, in its edition today, Marca revealed that the Reds have given 48 hours to their counterparts in Madrid to complete the transaction. Tired in this case, Rafa Benitez finally won the "yes" of the Roman Alberto Aquilani and may let the Spanish international.

If everything should settle Thursday, has yet to find a transfer satisfactory to Liverpool. The English club has recently refused an offer of € 27 million and require 41 million €. But the transfer could finally be around € 30 million. As everybody criticized Perez for his recruitment very offensive, there is no doubt that the arrival of Alonso should also give more substance to the Madrid entrejeu ... and especially a huge helping hand Lassana Diarra.
