Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo is understood to have told potential suitors they will have to pay the 27million release clause in his contract to land him.

Manchester United and Chelsea are also believed to be monitoring movements, according to press reports.

Skysports.com understands Fulham have stepped up their interest in West Brom's Diomansy Kamara.

Fulham boss Lawrie Sanchez is keen to sign the free-scoring forward and has already seen one bid for Kamara turned down by West Brom earlier this month.

Roma are reported to have rejected a bid from Liverpool for Alessandro Mancini. Reports emanating from Italy suggest Roma have shunned an offer from the English club for the talented Brazilian. Reds boss Rafa Benitez is believed to have put Mancini on his list of transfer targets this summer as he looks to add to his attacking options at Anfield. Mancini enjoyed a fine season with Roma last term and he has established himself as a key player in the Giallorossi side.

Liverpool have been quiet in the transfer market so far this summer, but they are believed to have offered €19million (12.7million) for the skilful winger.

The highly-rated defender is thought to be considering his future at Fenerbahce as he ponders moving to one of Europe's elite leagues.

The Brazilian international's performances have attracted the attention of a host of clubs throughout Europe.

The 26-year-old has been linked with the likes of Liverpool and Real Madrid in the past and he is regarded as one of the best central defenders around.

Everton and Bolton are both thought to be keeping tabs on Dracena and are ready to offer him the chance to move to England.

Internazionale have signed Luis Jimenez and Nelson Rivas.

According to the club's website the pair took part in Inter's training camp in northern Italy on Tuesday, however no details of the transfers were released.

Real Madrid are being linked with a sensational €60million move for Andres Iniesta.

In Spanish football every player has a get-out clause in his contract, which in theory means a club can buy a player without the consent of the seller.

In the case of Iniesta he has three years to run on his current Barcelona deal - with a buy-out of €60million (40million), which Real are now considering matching.

Barca opened contract talks with Iniesta at the end of the season, following reports of interest from Serie A.
