More stars in english premier league

There is going to be cluster of stars in English Premier League. Look at the list. I hope Fifa's 6+5 policy is implemented.

CRISTIANO RONALDO, MAN UTD
The Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo will be offered a staggering pay package by Real Madrid of £9.5m a year after tax - £182,000 a week, making him the world's best-paid footballer by far. Manchester United have been reported as willing to pay him £150,000 a week and may need to up their offer to keep hold of their star player. (Daily Telegraph: 13/6/08)

KAKA, AC MILAN
The Fifa World Player of the Year Kaka is thought to be at the top of Luiz Felipe Scolari's wishlist for Chelsea, with the Brazilian playmaker expected to cost the London club £60m. The 26-year-old has been a long-term target for the Stamford Bridge club and it's believed Scolari, the former Brazil coach, could lure his one-time charge. (Guardian: 13/6/08)

FERNANDO TORRES, LIVERPOOL
Having been told by club boss Roman Abramovich that money is no object, Scolari is linked to an audacious bid for Liverpool's Spanish striker Fernando Torres. The 24-year-old, who scored 33 goals for the Anfield side, is happy at his current club but Chelsea will hope to exploit tensions between the two American owners of their rivals. (Times: 13/6/08)

LUKAS PODOLSKI, BAYERN MUNICH
The German international striker has admitted he is interested in leaving Munich. Man City are prepared to pay £20m for the 23-year-old. (The Times: 12/6/08)

GARETH BARRY, ASTON VILLA
Liverpool will have to offer at least £18m in cash for Aston Villa's England midfielder Gareth Barry. After lower offers of £10m-and-players, £12m and £15m were all rejected by the Midlands club. Barry's agent has confirmed that his client wanted Champions League football next season, which appears to leave Villa seeking the best deal possible. (The Sun : 12/6/08)

ANTON FERDINAND, WEST HAM
Anton Ferdinand, brother of England captain Rio and former U-21 international, is being tracked by Tottenham Hotspur. The 22-year-old came through the same West Ham academy as his brother and spent five years at the club. His London switch is expected to cost Spurs £6m. (Times: 11/6/08)

GIOVANI DOS SANTOS, SPURS: £4.7M
Barcelona's teenage sensation Giovani Dos Santos has signed for Spurs for £4.7m rising to a potential £8.6m depending on appearances and subject to the player agreeing terms with the north London club. The Mexican international will link up with fellow new signing Luka Modric in what could be a formidable attacking line-up for Spurs. (Guardian: 11/6/08)

AARON RAMSEY, CARDIFF CITY
Cardiff City's £5m-rated wunderkind Aaron Ramsey, dubbed the 'new Ryan Giggs', is believed to have chosen Arsenal over Manchester United and Everton, the three clubs pursuing him, after he and his family were flown to Switzerland for a meeting with Arsene Wenger. The Arsenal boss reassured the Welsh international that he would be allowed to develop his talents at Arsenal and would not be sent out on loan, possibly back to his old club. (Guardian: 10/6/08)

SAMUEL ETO'O, BARCELONA
The first clash between Chelsea and their former manager Jose Mourinho is looming, and will take place over Barcelona attacker Samuel Eto'o. Mourinho wants to sign the 27-year-old for Inter Milan, and is more than happy to derail the Londoners' £22m bid for the Cameroon striker. (Sun: 10/6/08)

RONALDINHO, BARCELONA
The unlikely spectacle of Ronaldinho in a sky blue Man City shirt seemed closer as Barcelona accepted City's offer of £13m and granted the Eastlands side permission to speak with the former World Footballer of the Year. The 28-year-old is reported to have told friends in Brazil that he is moving to the Premier League side. (Times: 9/6/08)

DECO, BARCELONA
Barcelona's Portuguese midfielder Deco looks set to move to Chelsea in a tranfers that could set off a domino chain of related deals. The 30-year-old, who was born in Brazil, could move for £15m, and may signal that his national team coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari, may be on his way to Stamford Bridge after the Euro 2008 tournament. (Daily Mail: 9/6/08)

PATRICK VIEIRA, INTER MILAN
It doesn't quite rival Man City's bid for Ronaldinho, but Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp would have pulled off quite a coup should he manage to lure Patrick Vieira to Fratton Park. The Inter Milan midfielder could reunite with his ex-Arsenal teammates Sol Campbell, Lauren and Nwankwo Kanu in a £4m transfer that would see the 31-year-old offered £100,000 a week wages. (Daily Telegraph: 9/6/08)

EIDUR GUDJOHNSEN, BARCELONA
Icelandic hitman Eidur Gudjohnsen has been told that he can leave Barcelona, causing a scramble among Premier League teams eager to sign the former Chelsea striker. Newcastle and West Ham have inquired after the 29-year-old, who will cost around £4m. The Hammers bid for the player last year but the Spanish giants wouldn't sell then. (Sun: 6/6/08)

ANDREA DOSSENA, UDINESE
Liverpool will shortly sign the Italian left-back Andrea Dossena from Udinese for a fee thought to be around £7m. The Merseysiders gave the defender, who has one national cap, a medical on Wednesday and will pay £1m less than the Series A club originally demanded. (Times: 5/6/08)

ROQUE SANTA CRUZ, BLACKBURN
With Mark Hughes departed as manager, Blackburn Rovers face a fight to keep hold of their goal sensation Roque Santa Cruz. Manchester City, Hughes' new club, are obvious favourites to sign the 26-year-old, who scored 23 goals last season, but their city rivals United are also in the market for the Paraguayian attacker, according to the player. (Sky Sports: 5/6/08)

PABLO AIMAR, REAL ZARAGOZA
Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan could swoop for the Argentinian attacker Aimar after his club put him on the market with a £6.5m price tag. Zaragoza were relegated from La Liga this season and have to cut their wages bill. (Daily Mirror: 3/6/08)

JO, CSKA MOSCOW
Yet another Eastlands target, Brazilian striker Jo is expected to sign for Manchester City later this week in a deal that could come in at close to £20m. The 21-year-old has a solitary cap for his country and would be the club's record signing. (Guardian: 3/6/08)

WAYNE HENNESSEY, WOLVES
North London rivals Arsenal and Spurs are both on the trail of Wolves' highly rated young goalkeeper Hennessey. Arsene Wenger is believed to be ready to pay £3m for the 22-year-old Welsh international whose heroics against Holland recently impressed. (Daily Mirror: 3/6/08)
