Barcelona is close to closing a deal with Rodrigo Palacio of Argentina's Boca Juniors for $30 million. The 25 year-old has been a constant highlight at the top of Argentina's scoring charts as of late and looks to be an immediate impact in La Liga. Problem: Huracan and Banfield, both teams that own a stake in Palacio, are demanding more and more money as they hear the transfer fee is up to $30 million. What's this mean for Icelandic international Eidur Gudjohnsen? Also, if he comes over - that piece of crap rat tail better disappear, or is that the craze in South America?

Bayern Munich have signed Italian World Cup stud Luca Toni for $22 million. Italian is a route that Munich doesn't often go down and it will be interesting to see how this pans out. Like Rafa Benitez with Liverpool, Bayern look to have significant turnover of the roster this summer and it will be fun to see who else makes their way in and out.

- Ryan Giggs has declared international retirement from the Welsh national team. Sucks for them as I don't know anybody even close to comparable to Giggsy, leaving Wales back at square one.
- The MLS has signed a formal deal with YouTube to provide a separate website for MLS video highlights within 24 hours of a finished match. Sounds promising. Read up on it here.
- Alain Perrin, former Marseille coach, has been appointed the new Olympique Lyonnais head coach as he aims to add to Lyon's six consecutive Ligue One titles. This is big in the French world of football but in terms of international appeal, Gerard Houllier is known by the world not just Ligue One. For the sake of Perrin, a good start has been in order as Juninho Pernambucano has signed on for two more years even though he has stated, "I will never win a Champions League title with Lyon'. Oh well.
