Zidedine Zidane, no. Augustín Delgado, probably. That's where the Red Bulls stand in their search for a much-needed goal-scorer. When Zidane, the French legend, flew to New York Tuesday and attended the Knicks-Clipper game, reports resurfaced about him joining the Red Bulls. Far more likely an acquisition is Delgado, Ecuador's all-time leading scorer, but a troubled figure. Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando is in Red Bulls training camp, fueling speculation that the MLS club will trade for him. Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane has a couple toes in Lew Wolff's desire to bring Major League Soccer back to the South Bay in a new stadium near the San Jose State University campus. The soap opera that Real Madrid President Ramon Calderón began when he promised to bring Kaká to the Bernabéu has taken a turn as reports allege that the Rossoneri want Cannavaro, Robinho and Diarra plus money in exchange. David Beckham has been recalled to the Real Madrid squad for the weekend clash with Real Sociedad. Real's poor form led to some of their players and fans calling for the return of the former England skipper. Real Salt Lake got the stadium deal it was seeking in Utah on Thursday, ending St. Louis' latest flirtation with the return of professional soccer. Frank Lampard's agent Steve Kutner has thrown doubt over the player's future at Stamford Bridge. He told a Spanish radio show that it is not certain his client will remain at Chelsea next season. Florent Sinama-Pongolle has revealed he could yet return to Liverpool. The French striker is impressing during a season-long loan spell at Recreativo de Huelva, where he has scored seven goals, yet he believes he could be recalled to Anfield when the campaign is over. West Ham striker Carlos Tevez has admitted manager Alan Curbishley speaks to him very little. The Argentinian has yet to score a goal for the club since joining from Corinthians, and recently saw fellow countryman Javier Mascherano shipped out to Liverpool on loan. Everton manager David Moyes has said that Mikel Arteta is not leaving Goodison Park, after the Spaniard declared a wish to return to his homeland at some point in the future. If San Siro will be declared inaccessible for fans, the clubs from Milan, AC Milan and Inter Milan, will play their home matches in other arenas. Inter Milan is considering to temporarily play its home matches in the Marrassi stadium in Genoa. Celtic keeper Artur Boruc is considering moving away from Parkhead in the summer. Real Zaragoza is pushing Manchester United to allow Gerard Pique to spend more time in La Liga. The promising defender has impressed during his loan stint with Zaragoza and the Blanquillos want to at least extend it by another season. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
