TRANSFER ROUND UP

Last updated : 30 June 2002 By editor

The MEN and NOTW say Ronaldinho is a 25 million target for united. Remember last Sunday's news – he is/was shagging some bird from Altrincham.

The MEN says that SAF still wamts Di canio

The NOTW say that Christian Doni may move to OT from Atalanta for 12 million. He is quoted: “United and Monaco are trying to sign me and I'll make a decision soon. I've not ruled staying in Italy.”

The People reckon that United are ‘two weeks into negotiations with Roberto Carlos' and SAF wants Rio and Carlos in his ‘dream defence for next season.”

From The Terrace says that Juan Pablo Sorin, is to come to OT as part payment for one Jaap Stam!

Denis Irwin is being linked with Rotherham. IF he goes he will link up with Ex-red Mark Robins. (People)

Larry White has still not told United what he will do with United's one-year contract offer. (Mirror)

The Mail say that United and the Arse are after Turkey's goalie, Rustu. They allege that he will be sold on the cheap by Fenerbache.

Planet Football say that ‘Swindon Town have handed a trial to former Manchester United youngster Nicholas Baxter.'

Teamtalk say that Dwight will finally go soon: Blackburn Rovers are expected to step up their attempts to land United striker Dwight Yorke before the pre-season gets into full swing. A compromise of around £4.5million could land Yorke - who has one year left on his Old Trafford contract.

Grimsby better than United: Grimsby Town have beaten off the challenge of United to sign 17-year-old striker Joe Lighthowler, who has joined as a first year scholar.
Lighthowler, who was born in Hull and still lives there, was also tracked by Aston Villa but after playing for The Mariners' youth sides he has decided to join the staff at Blundell Park because he feels he has a greater chance of reaching the first team than with United.
