The summertime transfer window is poised to bring big changes and an overwhelming level of speculation just want it does every year. Below is the fourth installment of some articles that examines the speculation and the fantasy relevance of each possible move.

David Villa  – Valencia : Villa is among the top targets this off season since it appears he is destined to leave Valencia by the end of the year. Valencia’s finances have led many to think that they may sell off most of their quality players in order to cut payroll and Villa likely will fetch them probably the most money in return. Villa is a quality finisher, and paired alongside Fernando Torres, he helped lead Spain to the EURO 2008 title. Villa has caught the eyes of the greatest and most wealthy clubs, and it will certainly be a fight between them to find out where David Villa will end up.

Where He Will End Up: The list has narrowed considerably but still has 3 or 4 worthy contenders. Manchester City is involved as they fight and buy any superstar they can making use of their newly attained limit-less budget. Chelsea in addition has shown an interest yet they seem to be keen to find a forward similar to the one they are likely replacing (Drogba) and that role may possibly be fitted more for Zlatan than Villa. Both biggest teams in Spain, Real Madrid and Barcelona, are generally in contention as well. Valencia gets the mindset when they sell him, they don’t want to face him, which will make more sense to send him to England. However, it’s yet to unfold what’ll happen but my money is on that Villa will find yourself somewhere in Spain, his home country.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic  – Inter Milan: Zlatan has been as dominant a striker as could be in Series A in Italy, and has accumulated various goals for Inter Milan. However, the rumors have swirled that he is trying to play somewhere else in the ’09/’10 season and is not content to keep at Inter. identify parts This situation is among the hardest to decipher for there’s not a lot of information available at this time. Inter want to help keep him for he is lethal in front of goal, however they have been discouraged by his performances on the big stage such as for instance his lackluster efforts in Champions League games. A striker of his immense quality and capability in order to complete seemingly impossible efforts at goal is likely to make him an enormous target in the off season.

Where He Will End Up: If he does indeed leave Inter, don’t be surprised to find him at Chelsea or Barcelona. With the talk that Drogba will leave Chelsea at this season’s end, Zlatan is an able replacement and plays in the same manner that Didier Drogba does. Barca is seeking an actual, tall power forward and Zlatan definitely fits that bill. I feel the only way Inter will retain his services is if you can find no major changes in the front office or to their head coach. Seeing that there’s guaranteed to become a shakeup in both areas in the off season, Zlatan is probably headed out and there will certainly be a large bidding war for his efforts.
