SPANISH FOOTBALL TRANSFERS, RUMOURS & GOSSIP

performance of Portugues International DECO. According to "Sport"
the player is no longer considered vital in the schemes of things &
the door may open to other clubs to make an offer for the midfielder.

losing the Spanish League & are just letting out steam. SFS thinks that
Deco is a grand player & has plenty of good football.

& ROMA defender CHIVU. They have asked the player & his
