Heard any rumors? Let us know by adding a comment at the bottom of the page or check out CNN’s guide to the 20 most wanted football players:

Desperation is the name of the game today, as The Daily Star reports Barcelona will accept less than their asking price for Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o. By taking the $40m from Manchester City, Pep Guardiola could then swoop to sign Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola wants to bring Casc Fabregas back to Barcelona.

With a budget of $81m, Barca hope Arsene Wenger will not refuse the bid. If he does, some incentive might be added to sweeten the deal, Yaya Toure may get the chance to play alongside big brother Kolo.

Sticking with Barca it seems the Catalan's failed attempts to grab Felipe Luis could now put Andre Santos in-line for a move to the Camp Nou; although Milan, Juventus and Roma will have to be fought off.

Spanish paper Sport says that after Santos's impressive work at the Confederations Cup, the Corinthians' player would not think twice about making a move to Europe.

Back over in England, Alex Ferguson is looking to add a man of notable talent and scoring abilities. According to The Daily Mirror, the Red Devils want to bring Inter Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the Premier League, but the task may prove to be a trikcy. Priced at $48m, the Italian giants may be reluctant in giving up such a valuable asset. However, they might be persuaded, if say, the right amount came knocking on their door.

Chelsea wants another Iberian innovator, but only if they can offload two other players from Portugal. The Daily Express report that the Blues want to bring in Bruno Alves from Porto in a deal worth $27m.

But this will only happen by sending some other players packing, namely Deco and Ricardo Carvalho to Inter; however, the Big Grass Snake is not biting at the $24m sale price. Despite Inter's interest wavering, the London giants see it only as a tactic to bring the price down.
