As announced by Stuttgart Sports Director, 30 year old defender Khalid Boulahrouz will leave the German club at the end of the season as a free agent. Both Juventus and AC Milan seem ready to swoop on the Dutchman. On the other hand, it seems always more difficult for the two Italian clubs to sign Arsenal forward Robin Van Persie, after that the Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has announced to be in talks to extend the 28 year old's contract.

Argentine forward Diego Milito has declared that he would like to remain at Inter, while the agent of Sporting CP midfielder Stijn Schaars has turned out the rumours regarding a possible future at the nerazzurri for his client. At the moment the main targets for the Lombard club remain Napoli forward Ezequiel Lavezzi and Udinese wingback Mauricio Isla.
