ATLETICO DE MADRID | UJFALUSI GOES TO GALATASARAY

Three days ago the story from Turkish media was that Tukish Club GALATASARAY was in Madrid making a 3 player offer to ATLETICO DE MADRID. The three players sort by the Turks were defender Tomas Ujfalusi, midfielder Reyes & Forward Reyes.

At Madrid defender Ujfalusi

News just in from the Galatasaray website & Spanish Sports media  is that Tomas Ujfalusi has accepted the Turkish offer & is currently in the city of Istambul to undergo the obligatory medical exam to later sign. The speculated transfer fee is said to be about 2M€ as both Clubs continue "fine tuning" details tonight being a "shut case" in hours.


Ujfalusi is the first of a long string of speculated players that will be part of an exodus for Atletico de Madrid. The other two mentioned players & wished by Galatasaray have expressed "negative" replies. Atletico de Madrid does not wish to sell Reyes (for now) & Forlan has declined the offer from Uruguay (for now).

From here, thanks to Tomás Ujfalusi for his great service to Atletico. I wish him all the luck  for his two signed years at Galatasaray.

TRANSFER RUMOUR | ATLETICO DE MADRID - GALATASARAY JOINT TURKISH BATH

This one is definately a good one. In mean you won´t see a more impacting & more viciously viral "Football Transfer Rumour" than this one for a long time.

From Turkey,  via its media (eg NTVSPOR), Turkish Club GALATASARAY has come to an agreement with Spanish Football Club ATLETICO DE MADRID to sign DIEGO FORLAN, UJFALUSI & ANTONIO REYES. The sum tranfer - all three players - money figure is unknown but the news is "fair-dinkum" as we can see from the below Turkish web site. Is it Turkish Fools day ? Obviously this "surprise" has been picked up locally by Spanish Press & quiet frankly I personally don´t know what to make of it.

Turkish website

According to the Turkish source Galatasaray Club President Unal Aysal meet today with Atletico de Madrid directives & "shut" the package deal. Now my first reaction is to wait & see if this has actually happened,  & at best,  if its true at all. No announcement has been made from the Spanish Football Club & no one has been informed here in the media of the money involved.


However, Football is Football & anything can happen, especially with a Club like Atletico de Madrid  . If it does finally turn out to be all true & Forlan, Ujfalusi & Reyes do leave the Spanish Club, they will join the almost certain exit of goalkeeper David De Gea ( to Manchester United) & Sergio Aguero ( to ? ). Atletico de Madrid will look next season like the below image of a sinking ship.

My head says wait & see as you have seen many stories & heard many "vicious" rumours during many years. My heart,  as an Atletico fan,  says WTF is going on & frankly I am baffled with this story.

Stay tuned!


LATEST: Apparently there is some truth. Galatasaray has expressed to Atletico de Madrid today in Madrid via Turkish Club President their desires to sign all three players. The money figure is said to be around 40M€ & I imagen the players involved will have there say if the Club sees this as positive. Stay tuned!

VERY LATEST : Diego Forlan does wish to leave ( yet ) Atletico,  & with Reyes the Spanish Club does not wish to let the palyer go.

SPANISH FOOTBALL | UJFALUSI TACKLE ANKLE INJURY ON MESSI | AT MADRID FC BARCELONA

The front cover of Spanish Sports daily "Marca" says it all with the title "CHILLING". The tackle from Atletico de Madrid player UJFALUSI on FC Barcelona forward LIONEL MESSI could have cracked the ankle of the player. The Czech player was obviously sent off with a Red Card & later apologized to Messi, but the debate is out on the street that this type of play needs to be seriously punished.

The debate has been going on since Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo also received his share of tackles aimed at his ankle. The respective Coaches, Mourinho & Guardiola, have been solicitating that the star players be protected more from the deliberate exercise of "wiping them out".

Although it is hard to believe that players deliberately go out onto the field to do damage to other players, the above image of the tackle is frightening. The above picture shows how Messi ´s ankle immediately swells & was taken off. The Barça player will undergo exploratory analysis today, but it is speculated that Messi will be out for about 3 weeks. Good news if you consider that he could have been out for the rest of the season.

The media is pressuring that Ujfalusi be given an exemplary sanction. Stay tuned!
