Internacional Affair

some source says that Wolfsburg won’t sign Nilmar

Correct, Nilmar will not be going to Wolfsburg because he wasn’t able to agree personal terms with them. The door is still opne..

Stalling by Nilmar………….so Villarreal can raise their bid to 15.5m euros….which is not going to happen………..
even @ 13m euros…… for Villarreal that is lot on monies……………..

globoesporte confirms what Nick Stated…..that Wolfsburg has withdrawn the offer for Nilmar for € 15 million
Reason: Wolfsburg wanted a 5 year contract and there wage dis-agrement.

Villarreal offer was @ € 13 million

P.S Keep in mind withholdings/tax for first 6 years for foreign player in Liga is 24% (Becks law vs regular 43% domestic player) and in Germany its 45%.

Per Mediterraneo Llaneza is working on clauses to offer of € 13 million by Villarreal to make up €2m.
1) % of profit from future sale of Nilmar by Villarreal
2) Monies to Internacional if Villarreal qualify for CL for 10/11
Etc

Hi, I follow Internacional closely and run the Inter UK site.

What’s the feeling/reports from Villarreal about Nilmar rejecting Wolfsburg’s intial offer?

Regards,

Matt
Inter UK

Well I think that we are fairly split here on this site. Personally I think that he’s worth the 15 mill and is the kind of player that could propel us to the top of the table. Others are not so convinced and think it’s too much to pay. He obviously is interested in coming to us considering he broke off with the Germans.

See the comment above you for our club managements feelings. They still view him as our number one target and are working very hard to close the deal

why pay 15m euros for an unproven player r we madrid? no way! if we pay 15m for 1 player then hes gotta be teh messi or iniesta of villarreal. we cant go oh he flopped so wt? our club works on extremely tight budget. and why everyone so hooked up on this nilmar guy, there r better options.
suarez, liedson, toni( has been relegated to teh reserves wud cum really cheap n dont think has too high a salary), zaki, fernando llorente. i wish we had signed uche a class player, strong n skillful and would have cost only 5m euros.

The latest news about Nilmar here in Villarreal are Llaneza’s words to the press before the match against Vilamalla. He said that we are really interested in Nilmar and the offer to the Inter is the bigest that Villarreal have ever made for a player before. The amount reported by a local radio is around 11 million € (may be that amount can increase after signing if we play Champions next season or something like this, or may be we don’t have the 100% of the player’s rights… don’t know…). Llaneza said that the operation was close to the end, but didn’t guarantee the signing. He said too that this is going to be the last signing so we are not going to sign any mildfielder to suply Edmilson (remember we can pick up the B team players when we need it).

That’s all at the moment.

Guess who won the car giveaway (mini Cooper) ……………..

Edmilson…….who left back in Jan…

What kinda of Joke is that?

in 2008 ….Nihat won the Audi

Nilmar, Villarreal’s main objective
Villarreal’s counselor Jose Manuel Llaneza admits they are highly interested in Brazilian player Nilmar and they are close to signing him.

At ths point, according to El Periodico Mediterraneo, Nilmar is coming to Villarreal.
Great!
So they’re spending 15M euros on this guy, and I reckon for that amount of money he will see considerable action on the pitch. That’s means either Rossi or Llorente is going to be seeing considerably less time on the pitch.
I’m not quite sure who it will be but I imagine Nilmar is being groomed to take over Rossi’s position. Rossi has many suitors and Villarreal are expected to fetch a very nice price. Not that he will be going now, but but who knows, maybe in the winter transfer period or next summer. Will be interesting to see how the forward position plays out.
This also pretty much guarantees that Altidore and Ruben will be going elsewhere as both will stay in Primera if they can.

Interesting comment from Llorente: “It’s true that Jozy and Ruben are here, but we have to think about more players, even though very few clubs can pay over 10MM euros for certain footballers.”

Seems like something on Nilmar should be announced in the morning. I’ll be the first to be thrilled if this really truly works out, but I think it’s more of a cover for selling Rossi and/or Cazorla over the next 12 months. This could be a good investment, but Nilmar doesn’t fill a current hole on the team. Sure a talented third striker is nice, but the central midfield certainly was more pressing. And Joan Tomas, Chando, and Cristobal from the B team deserve a chance at the Guille Franco time-wasting role.

g.rossi and/or santi will be sold this summer. just watch
