Fabregas will be leaving Barcelona, Koke to replace him?
The Cesc Fabregas transfer news has changed on a daily basis. Early on in the transfer season, we heard rumors about a return to his former club Arsenal, and then we heard that Barcelona were going to try to keep the Spanish international. But now it looks certain he won’t be in a Barca jersey next season. The Catalan club seems to be vying for the signature of Atletico star Koke. Arsenal, on the other hand, have said that they don’t want a reunion with Fabregas, opening the door for Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea. Fabregas was seen in London on Sunday.

Two EPL strikers on the move?
Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez and Fernando Torres are targets for two clubs this offseason. Valencia and Inter Milan are both in the running for a double Premier League swoop for the pair of strikers. Inter Milan is looking to line up a deal with Manchester United that would land Hernandez in Italy on a £10 million loan, and they are also eyeing the Spanish International Torres. New billionaire Valencia owner Peter Lim also has Hernandez and Torres on his radar. Torres has two years left on his Chelsea deal, but would be allowed to leave for around £12 million. Torres is expected to play second to Diego Costa at Stamford Bridge next season.

Sagna to Man City, Arsenal already replaced him?
Bacary Sagna confirmed last week that he will be leaving Arsenal after contract talks didn’t go in the direction he wanted. There are talks that the French international could be on the move to Manchester City and that there is already a three-year deal in place, but they have yet to be confirmed. Sagna is focusing on the World Cup, so like most of the transfer rumors, this one probably won’t be sorted out until after the tournament. Arsenal apparently have moved on from Sagna. Toulouse right-back Serge Aurier dropped a little hint at the Ivory Coast World Cup tune up against Bosnia, telling an Arsenal fan he was headed to the Gunners. Check it out:
