However, Roma have already paid €12m for his services, but in order to prevent Barca from buying him back, they have to pay another €28m...

so if barca buy him back, they have literally paid roma 1 mil to have bojan for a couple of seasons?

So when Barca buy him back basically Roma get paid €1m for taking Bojan on loan for 2 years? Doesn't sound that bad to me..

Porto star Fredy Guarin has declared he will “either continue playing at Porto or join Juventus” by Thursday, slamming the door on Inter.

The 25-year-old Colombian has been on Juve’s wish-list for a while, but it was also reported that the Nerazzurri were making a surprise intervention.

“It will all be decided between now and Thursday,” Guarin told Colombian Radio Catena Nacional.

“Either I continue playing with Porto or I will leave. If I do go, then I will leave only to join Juventus.”

It’s believed Porto want €13m for the player, whereas Juve would like to pay €2m for a six-month loan with mandatory €9m buy-out clause.

The push for Guarin comes as their attempts to sign Martin Caceres hit problems and might even have been abandoned completely.

Juventus have room for only one more non-EU player in their squad, but both Caceres and Guarin have a non-EU status.

Milan have announced that Alexandre Pato is out of action for three to four weeks after his latest injury setback.

The striker has suffered from numerous muscular problems over the last couple of seasons and suffered a relapse during last night’s 2-1 Coppa Italia win over Novara.

Pato, who scored the winner in that tie, “underwent tests with specialists. He has been diagnosed with a muscular lesion that is not too serious to the femoral bicep in his left thigh.

“The prognosis is three to four weeks, save for complications.”

It’s another heavy blow for the Rossoneri, who are already without Kevin-Prince Boateng and Alberto Aquilani for a month, Mathieu Flamini for two months and Antonio Cassano until June.
