Real Madrid manager Fabio Capello has begun to draw up his "Christmas" shopping list. Among the names is Boca Juniors starlet Fernando Gago. Rumblings have begun that Inter Milan's veteran midfielder Luis Figo could be headed to FC Moscow to call the curtain on his illustrious career.

Palermo sporting director Rino Foschi has given out mixed messages regarding the future of striker Andrea Caracciolo. The 25-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Stadio Renzo Barbera for some time with Premiership giants Liverpool thought to be keen to secure his services.

The highly-rated Argentina midfielder is due to fall out of contract next summer and looks certain to leave on a free transfer after so far turning down all offers made by Depor. Werder Bremen midfielder Diego is reportedly a target for Milan after his impressive start to the season. Roma are interested in signing Shakhtar Donetsk player Ciprian Marica, it has been reported.

Former AC Milan and Brazilian international Leonardo commented on the transfer rumor of a possible exchange between the two star Brazilian midfielders playing with the Rossoneri and Barcelona. Leonardo was quick to point out that no such exchange will occur. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
