TRANSFER SUMMARY

Last updated : 07 July 2002 By editor

We should be getting the outstanding 12 mill from Lazio. The Screws say that Lazio have told FIFA they will pay by December.

Nick Culkin is apparently on the way to QPR.


Some dodgy Italian website had stated that United had ‘pulled out of a deal' for Thuram and that Veron was on his way. Kenyon was quick to deny these rumours.

From The Mirror: United now believe £30m could get Ferdinand, leaving them still able to pursue Thuram.

One player who won't be arriving at Old Trafford is Real Madrid and Brazil left-back Roberto Carlos.

Peter Kenyon, United's chief executive, said: " We have made no approach for any of Real's players.”


Damien Duff will decide to leave Blackburn this week. The Mirror reckon that us and the ‘dippers have bid, but he will choose the Dirties as he has a better chance of selection. (Giggs and all that)

Prepare for lots of United rumours as Rustu says he wants to come to England:

From The Mirror:

"If you were to ask me where I would like to play, I would have to say England.

"I don't want to be at the centre of an auction because there is so much interest in me. I just want to play football and at the same time realise my dreams of playing for a big club.

"I've heard all kinds of rumours about how much I'm supposed to be worth. But you have to remember that I could be worth nothing in 12 months' time. I could walk away and join any club I like.

"I know my English-based agent Pini Zihavi is doing all he can to make those dreams come true.

"And while it wouldn't be right to talk about individual clubs at this stage, I can say with my hand on my heart that the clubs who have shown an interest really excite me.


He's only just signed for Boro but Massimo Maccarone wants to come to United: “I'm going to be honest, but it's no secret that Manchester United are my dream. I canm't wait to play at Old Trafford.”
