Yeah it is and will happen I reckon as Crespo has signed for AC Milan for a year on Loan.

Only if the deal can be finalised by Wednesday. Mourinho has set that as a deadline for signing Drogba from Marseille and Tiago from Benfica.
(Last I heard, Chelsea were 1-0 down in a friendly against Oxford!)

There is plenty of time, the Tiago deal is basically done and Kenyon is in France with Drogba.

Yeah, I'd expect the Tiago deal to be done soon enough, it hasn't been going on for very long. The Drogba 'talks' have been going on for quite a while now, so basically anything could happen between now and Wednesday.

Roma's Sports Director, Franco Baldini, has laughed off reports about Antonio Cassano joining Real Madrid this summer.
Baldini released an official note to categorically deny news which had appeared on Satirday morning in Italian media.

"With regards to this morning's news on the eventual sale of Antonio Cassano to Real Madrid, the most elegant gesture that I can make is to define the declarations completely false."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been linked to Olympique Marseille in the past few days but the Swedish striker announced today that he has no intention of leaving Ajax.

"I have two more years on my contract and I don't see why I should leave," the player said. "I don't care what people are saying I have made my mind up and I won't change it".

Osasuna have announced that they’ve agreed a three-year contract with Serbia and Montenegro striker Savo Milosevic.
The deal is now dependent on Parma allowing the player to leave on a free transfer.

Milosevic, who bagged 14 league goals on loan at Celta Vigo last season, has one year left on his Parma contract.

Michael Stewart will leave Manchester United Football Club this summer. The 23-year-old is currently negotiating a pay-off with Old Trafford officials to compensate the remaining two-years left of his contract, believed to be worth around £400,000.

Kleberson has said he wants to stay at United and prove himself.

American defender Jonathan Spector, 18, will join Manchester United on its three-game tour of the United States for the ChampionsWorld Series.

Spector, who joined United's youth program last year after starring on the U.S. under-17 national team, was called up because United will be without its stars who played at Euro 2004 or have been playing in the Copa America, which concludes this week.

''Last season Darren Fletcher came through on the U.S. tour and hopefully one or two will do the same this year,'' Ferguson told MUTV. ''Jonathan Spector and Phil Bardsey will enjoy it and hopefully it will push their careers on a bit.''

United's second summer in North America will consist of three games -- a match against Bayern Munich July 25 in Chicago followed by return trips to Lincoln Financial Stadium in Philadelphia (July 28 against Celtic) and Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. (July 31 against AC Milan).

Newcastle have finally completed the signing of Patrick Kluivert from Barcelona. The deal is a free transfer for Newcastle and involves a 3 year contract for Kluivert.

I'm glad Newcastle have signed Kluivert. More big names to watch every Saturday night on Match of the Day are always welcome.

Thats a great deal for Newcastle, Bolton have captured Gary Speed from Newcastle on a 2 year deal.

Rivaldo has signed for Olympiakos of Greece!! The club have yet to agree on the length of the contract, but the Brazilian ace will earn 1.5 million Euros per year.

Chelsea's new boss, Jose Mourinho, seems insatiable as after signing Didier Drogba and Tiago Mendes in the past couple of days, the Spanish coach has asked for two more players to complete his squad.

The former Porto coach has in fact stated: "Now I want a central defender and, if possible, another midfielder. However I'm satisfied with group I have available."

Even though Mourinho did not name the players he's after, it is rumoured that the central defender is most likely Roma's Greek defender, Dellas, who had an exceptional Euro 2004.

Matteo Ferrari will play for Roma next season and soon Parma will make an official statement.

Monaco have confirmed that the deal leading Mohammed Kallon from Inter to the French club was signed this morning.

Monaco and Inter have been negotiating the transfer of the Sierra Leone forward after Kallon had failed to agree terms with Fiorentina.

Kallon will be tied to Monaco till 2008 and Inter will receive 5 million Euros as part of the deal for the 24-year-old attacker
