Signing Cavani ahead of City and Chelsea
Another player on top of many clubs’ wishlist is Edinson Cavani. The Uruguayan star is in phenomenal form off late and is considered to be one of the best strikers in the world today. Clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea are said to be after the player, along with Real Madrid.
The lack of a 25-goal a season striker in Chelsea’s squad is said to be the major concern which needs to be addressed by their new manager Jose Mourinho. He is said to be in the market for an out-an-out striker, after preparing for the departures of Fernando Torres and Demba Ba. It is reported that Cavani is at the top of his wishlist.
Pellegrini, too, is in the transfer market in search of a striker, having publicly stated that a player like Cavani surely interests him. Having let Carlos Tevez leave the Etihad stadium, he has made his intentions clear that he will be looking for a striker to strengthen his attack this summer.
Madrid, on the other hand, are not short of strikers as of now, but with the imminent departure of Gonzalo Higuain to Arsenal, Ancelotti will surely be looking at the option of adding another striker to his squad. Cavani could be the perfect signing for Madrid as his playing style perfectly suits Real’s game-play. If this happens, it’ll be a major blow for Chelsea as well as Manchester City, both of whom have made Cavani as their top priority signing this summer.
Not letting Ronaldo get away to Man Utd
Managing a player of Cristiano Ronaldo’s stature is not a stroll in the park as observed by all of the previous managers at Real Madrid, and Carlo Ancelotti too will face the same mammoth task. His biggest concern at Real Madrid will be to keep hold of the superstar player. Ronaldo has often publicly expressed his wish to join former club Manchester United one day, and this season even United are looking forward to re-signing their ex-player who they sold to Real Madrid for a world record fee of £80 million. It is being said that United’s new boss David Moyes is preparing a massive bid to buy back the Portuguese star. If this happens, it’ll be a big blow to all the other Premier League clubs and a big boost for United in their defence of the Premier League title.
Signing Suarez from Liverpool
In his pursuit of a quality striker due to the imminent departure of Gonzalo Higuain, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has supposedly made a two man shortlist, with Edinson Cavani being his priority target. The other striker on that wishlist is Cavani’s fellow countryman, Luis Suarez. The liverpool star came out openly and expressed his desire to leave the club, stating ill-treatment by the officials in England as his primary reason to leave the Merseyside outfit. With all the additions made by Brendan Rodgers this summer, it seems that Liverpool will be able to cope with the loss of their star player, who was the second highest scorer in the Premier League despite an eight match ban towards the end of the season. It remains to be seen whether the new signings can stamp their authority in the under performing Liverpool side and make them contenders for the Champions League spot.
All in all, Carlo Ancelotti can be assumed to be the most influential manager currently, with his every move in the transfer market affecting not only the clubs involved in the transfer, but also the various other clubs of the English Premier League.
