Transfer rumours

Still two and half months to go until the transfer window opens up again, but the international break allowed clubs to reflect on whether they need to strengthen their squads this winter. A lot of talk about possible signings at Real Madrid, with Luxemburgo reportedly wanting to bring two or three more of his fellow countrymen. Apparently Cicinho has already signed a pre-contract, and Ricardinho is out of contract this winter and could also be on his way to the Bernabeu. Meanwhile Benítez continues to "españolize" his Liverpool, with Getafe's Riki the latest target in his sights. (14.10.05)
