Analysing the Transfer Gossip – 27th July Part One

Arsenal playmaker Santi Cazorla has played down speculation linking him to a move to Atletico Madrid.

Full Story: ESPN FC

What’s the story? Loaded with money from the Falcao deal and with automatic Champions League qualification assured, Atletico have had a couple of dabbles at Cazorla.

Does it make sense? Arsenal obviously can’t sell Cazorla considering they are supposedly bidding over £40m for Suarez. Atletico do need a better option in attacking midfield though and have been linked with Gaston Ramirez also.

Is the price right? He’s probably worth something like £20m, maybe a touch more, but Arsenal cannot sell him.

Will it happen? 0/10 – He’ll be at Arsenal this season.
