Capello to join Cassano in Madrid?
Spanish newspapers claim Fabio Capello is set for a move to Real Madrid, where he’ll reunite with Antonio Cassano, Adriano, Patrick Vieira and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The ambitious project was outlined by ‘As’, who suggest the Juventus boss will only agree to a return to La Liga if his team is bolstered by four new arrivals – Inter hero Adriano, his Juve protégé Ibrahimovic, Bianconeri teammate Vieira and Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard.
This shopping list would put patron Florentino Perez back a cool £100m, including £40m for Adriano alone, and it’s far from certain Real can tempt any of them to the Bernabeu following their disappointing campaign.
Capello is fondly remembered in Madrid after taking them to the 1996-97 Liga title, though he has also been linked with the Manchester United post this week.
It’s far more likely that Cassano will be wearing the white shirt this season, as reports increasingly suggest his switch is a done deal. It’s claimed the Roma Board of Directors agreed to a £3.4m sale for a five-year contract and he could make his Liga debut away to Villarreal on January 8.
The only stumbling block could be the unpaid wages that the Giallorossi still owe their starlet, which are said to amount to £1.8m. Real refuse to take on this bill, but Roma have received an influx of cash today that could resolve the problem.
Their Trigoria training ground has officially been sold to Banca Italease in a sale and lease back deal worth £20.6m. Roma will continue to use the facilities for the next 15 years until it reverts to their property.

Figo rejects offer
Internazionale winger Luis Figo has reportedly rejected a lucrative two-year deal in Qatar. The former Real Madrid star would have earned a reputed €8 million per season but is determined to make his mark instead at Inter.
Coach Roberto Mancini has started to invest some faith in the Portuguese midfielder after a difficult start to life in Serie A.
With Inter on an six-match winning run in the league, which has lifted them to second place in the table, it would have been a strange time to quit the Giuseppe Meazza club.
Many superstars in their thirties have looked to boost their bank balances in Qatar but Figo seems committed to remaining for at least the rest of the season with the Neroazzurri.

Cesar's contract frustration
Lazio midfielder Aparecido Cesar has revealed he is open to the possibility of a move away from Stadio Olimpico. Cesar has yet to agree terms on a new contract, and with Internazionale set to resurrect their interest in the Brazilian after failing with a bid in pre-season, a move may now be in the offing. Cesar admitted his frustration at the apparent impasse and launched a thinly-veiled attack on his paymasters.
"We are talking about this situation, a year has gone by and we have solved nothing," said Cesar. "What sense is there in continue talking. "Will I be playing next season at Lazio? I don't know. "We haven't found an agreement and until a common agreement is found it's difficult talking about the future."
Cesar also dismissed suggestions that he is holding out for a more lucrative offer from the club and instead criticised the Biancocelesti's lackadaisical approach. "Many people believe it's an economical matter, it isn't so," added Cesar.
"It's missing a plan, here you don't know what will happen and how the future will be planned - president [Claudio] Lotito knows this."

Top Club Deals Drives Jersey Sponsorship Growth
The seventh edition of SPORT+MARKT “European Jersey Report” finds that for the second consecutive year the prices paid by jersey sponsors in the key European football markets of the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and the Netherlands for the 2005-2006 season grew compared to the previous season.
The total sum derived from jersey or shirt sponsorship from the clubs in the top division of the six key European markets (England, France, Italy, Germany, Netherlands and Spain) for the 2005-06 season grew by 3% on last season’s total, the Jersey Report found, rising from €333.1m to €343.4m. Compared to five seasons ago, the total is almost 40% higher.
This increase was despite a significant club such as AS Roma in Italy still going without a main sponsor three months into the season.
Furthermore, with two significant shirt sponsorships in Spain (FC Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao) yet to be struck, despite the clubs getting permission from their members to seek such deals, there is scope for a further increase in the size of this market in the near future.
* Juventus increase gap at top; Chelsea enter top 3 Juventus has retained the No 1 spot it held with its 2004-05 deals with Sky Sport and Tamoil. Under the new sole deal from this season with oil company Tamoil, its annual revenue has jumped €3.5m to €22m.
The €17m deal between Deutsche Telekom and Bayern Munich remains unchanged in second spot, but Real Madrid’s €14m deal with Siemens is now edged into fourth spot by the new deal signed between Chelsea and Samsung Mobile, which at €14.5m, also makes it the biggest in England.
The deal it usurps, between Vodafone and Manchester United, is now fifth in Europe. These five deals now total €80.5m, meaning that 23.6%, or almost a quarter, of the European total is concentrated among these five clubs from six leagues. English Premiership Jersey Sponsorship returns to growth After a decline in the two previous seasons, jersey sponsorship in the English FA Premier League has returned to growth climbing 4% from €60.8m in total to €63.2m. However, this is largely thanks to the improved deal that Chelsea struck with Samsung. * Wealth gap in FAPL jersey sponsorship continues to increase
The improved deal that Chelsea secured also managed to increase the wealth gap between the average of the Top Five deals and the Bottom Five deals in the Premiership. While the average of the Bottom Five (West Bromwich Albion, Sunderland, West Ham United, Portsmouth, Blackburn Rovers) did edge up to €600,000 p.a., that of the Top Five (Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Arsenal, Liverpool) climbed to €9.5m (see chart 3 above). In fact when the next best deal (Tottenham Hotspur-Thomson) is considered, these six deals take up 81% of the FAPL total of 19 deals (Wigan’s deal with JJB is discounted due to the relationship between sponsor, club and the mutual owner).
* Telecoms dominate spending Looking at the different industry sectors that are spending their marketing budgets in jersey sponsorship, whereas in the number of deals banks and financial services clearly lead the way with 29 deals (almost double the next sector, travel/tourism) the leader in terms of the money spent is easily the telecommunications sector with €82.4m, an average of around €5.9m a club and a quarter of the total spend.
The energy supplier sector spent the most per club, at €9.7m on average a deal, thanks largely to the Juventus/Tamoil deal. Oliver Butler, communications manager at SPORT+MARKT comments:
“With greater marketing spend likely to be directed towards football and football-related activity in the coming 12 months due to the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, it is not surprising to see continued growth in this area of sponsorship.
However, there still seems to be a gap between the values that clubs which participate in the UEFA Champions League are able to generate from jersey sponsorship, and those that do not, and the values outside of the English Premier League Top Six clubs remain comparatively low when other markets are viewed.“

TV rights controversy
After Juventus’ £150m deal with Mediaset, the smaller clubs in Serie A are to meet with Italian Football Federation President Franco Carraro to discuss fears of an increasing class divide.
The fear is that the gap between the rich and the poor in Serie A can only increase without a collective television contract. Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini and Fiorentina President Diego Della Valle have been the most vocal in expressing their frustration.
“Myself, Della Valle and others won’t be able to buy in January because we don’t know the budget for next year until we have a TV contract,” stated Zamparini Livorno President Aldo Spinelli, although taking a more conciliatory tone, also stressed the need for a clear agreement to be drawn up. “Juventus administrator Antonio Giraudo has done his job well but there has to be money for everyone, it has to be a collective deal,” said the outspoken Amaranto chief.
Currently Juventus, Inter and Milan stand to make vastly more from TV rights than Fiorentina and Livorno. Last season the two Milan clubs made over six times more than their less illustrious competitors.
