Top Five Olympic Transfers

The summer is not over as yet and there are a lot more transfers left to take place in the football arena. However, with the Olympic games about to take centre stage, many of these big transfers to come might go unnoticed.  So, before the Olympics brain washes everyone, here are the top five transfers to keep an eye out for while the games are going on.


1.Robin Van Persie:
 After announcing that he will not be signing a contract extension with Arsenal, the Dutch man has left the world to wonder where he will be heading next. With just one year left on his gunners contract, there is no reason why Arsenal should not cash in on the want away striker.




2.Luka Modric:
 The long awaited transfer of Modric has continued for another season. In 2011, Chelsea were the main suitor for the Croatian but this time around, its Real Madrid with Manchester United lurking in the background. While AVB seems hell bent on keeping the little maestro, one feels the sand in his hour glass is almost out and August 2012 could mark the exodus of Modric from White Hart Lane.


3.Maicon: 
Another star player with one year left on his contract and many suitors lurking in the background. Chelsea are desperately in need of a right back, Real Madrid continue to want what everyone's got, Paris Saint German have enough money to waste and top that off with all the talented players leaving the Serie A and Maicon should definitely be out of Italy by the end of the Olympic Games.



4.Edin Dzeko:
 Manchester City's abundance of strikers coupled with AC Milan's lack there of and Edin Dzeko's need for playing time and the result is, summer transfer! After selling Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Milan are desperately looking for his replacement and with an abundance of cash at their disposal, even the likes of City might be tempted to sell

Dzeko "Edin" for an exit

5.Andy Carrol: 
The purchase of Italian Fabio Borini has casted doubts over Carrol's future at Liverpool. With West Ham, and former club Newcastle, willing to take the overpriced striker off Liverpool's hands, it is only a matter of time before he leaves, whether on a short term or permanent basis.
