4 players joined a new club. Deco, Bosingwa joined Chelsea FC, Postiga joined Sporting Lisbon, Jorge Ribeiro joined Benfica from Boavista.
1 is without a club- defender Fernando Meira. Yes, he left Stuttgart.
The 4 players from Sporting Lisbon will return next Monday, July 21st to the pre-season training:
João Moutinho - midfielder- Transfer talk- Scolari wants to sign him if Lampard leaves.
Miguel Veloso - midfielder- Transfer talk- AC Milan are eyeing him. Juve said they're no longer interested in him.
Hélder Postiga - forward He just joined the club this season. I hope he scores lots of goals this season.
