Slicin’ and Dicin’: Chelsea FC And FC Barcelona Are Hunting

Trade Talks From Around The Globe. Today we concentrate on the biggest soccer deals about to go down. If we’re missing something, go ahead and drop us a line at tips[at]machochip[dot]com.

• Chelsea FC: What are Valencia’s David Villa and Sevilla’s Daniel Alves worth to Chelsea? 80 million Euros. You can get like three Sean Wright-Philips, five Diego Militos and twenty Nery Castillo’s for that! [ESPN Deportes]
• FC Barcelona: It would take around 17 million pounds to secure Liverpool defender Javier Mascherano’s services next year. Why Barcelona would be looking for another defender after signing Grabriel Milito, Liliam Thuram, and Gianluca Zambrotta last year is beyond us. But, Barcelona might be able to make some room in the payroll department soon. [Goal]
• Celtic: Andreas Hinkel might be on his way out of Sevilla because he’s not good enough to take Daniel Alves’ spot on the starting lineup. Yet, if Alves leaves, then Hinkel will have to figure out a way to stay alive in boresville, a.k.a. the Scottish League. Conundrum. [Guardian UK]
