And so the mighty have fallen. Or so The Guardian claims, as Real Madrid have ended their courtship of Frenchman Franck Ribery. Last night the Spanish giants revealed the Bayern Munich man's price tag was too rich for their blood, giving their competitors the thumbs up to move in for the kill.

Ribery rumors refuse to recede. Alliteration is alive and kicking on the gossip blog.

Chelsea have seen the invitation and R.S.V.P'd, for the Blues, who still have Wesley Sneijder on their radar, but want in on the Ribery party.  For Madrid, this just means they can focus on capturing their other big target Xabi Alonso, who has a sale price of $56m.

The Independent, of course, disagree entirely claiming that Los Merengues are in fact backing out of signing Alonso.  It seems Madrid's sporting director Jorge Valdano does not see the Spaniard fitting within their budget, which must be putting a smile on Rafa Benitez's face.

Valdono says: "Liverpool have adopted a position that is making it very difficult for us and right now we can see ourselves distancing ourselves from the player." As for nabbing their desired Frenchman, it seems Real have pulled the same trick they did with 'Ronaldo' – the club has an agreement with Bayern Munich that Ribery will make the move to Bernabeu next summer.

Chelsea has one angry captain on their hands today. The face of the Blue John Terry is red with anger that his club has not spoken to him about Manchester City's $48m bid last week, claims the always reliable source, The Sun. Despite being a key component to the club, he feels there is a lack of respect to himself and apparently his bank account too. Terry earns $32,000-a-week less than his teammate Frank Lampard. Could Manchester City sway him to their side if they dangle the right amount of money?

From English rags to Spanish newspapers, where reports from AS say Atletico Madrid may lose out on capturing Eduardo Salvio to an Old Lady and a Big Grass Snake. Juventus and Inter Milan have caught sight of the Argentine prodigy and his agent is in north Italy to hear some potential offers for his client. This spells bad news for Atletico since they do not seem to have the cash for the youngster's transfer fee.

They have lost Karim Benzema, Juninho and Kader Keita, now they might lose Kim Kallstrom. French paper L'Equipe reveals that Olympique Lyon have received interest in the Swedish player from Olympiakos. The Greeks are willing to pay $8m for the international, but Kallstrom's contract does not end until June 2010. However, if the trend continues, the right offer will come and the player will go packing.
