Transfer rumours

Still a couple of months to go until the tranfer window opens again at the beginning of January, but clubs are already starting to think about possible signings. Barcelona are expected to move to cover the gap left by serious injuries to Motta, Gabri and Edmilson, and Real Madrid and Deportivo may also strengthen their squads. Villarreal's Sonny Anderson has accepted a big offer to move to Qatar, and will leave the squad with immediate effect. (16.10.04)
