Bundesliga Transfer Rumors: Ex-Hamburg Goalkeeper Frank Rost To New York Red Bulls?

Rost, 38, just saw his contract with Hamburg expire at the end of the 2010-2011 season and has not attracted much interest from other Bundesliga clubs. Current Red Bull Sporting Director Erik Soler played for Hamburg during his playing career, and he has been in contact with colleagues in the Hamburg area about bringing Rost to New York.

His strike rate for Senegal has been great. In a total of nine appearances he has scored seven goals. This includes a hat trick in a recent 2012 Africa Cup of Nations match against the island nation of Mauritius.

Cisse, 26, has also been linked with a move to VFL Wolfsburg and Dynamo Kyiv.

According to Bild, Wolfsburg and Schalke are after Stuttgart midfielder Christian Träsch. Bayer Leverkusen have also shown interest.

Stuttgart’s Director of Sport Fredi Bobic told Bild that offers have already been received for Träsch, but they were so low that the club dismissed them immediately. It is believed they will be looking for around €10 million for the midfielder. The club is not giving up hope in resigning Träsch, however. Resigning him to an extension remains one of their top priorities for the summer.

Wolfsburg striker Grafite appears to be on his way to the Middle East. According to Kicker, the Brazilian international is being lined up by Dubai club Al-Ahli.

Grafite is still under contract for another season at the Volkswagen Arena, so the Dubai-based club must pay a transfer fee. Welt Online is reporting that the transfer fee for Grafite would be €3 million.

The deal for young McEachran, 18, is a bit more complicated. McEachran just made his debut for the Chelsea first team in November 2010. He would make 17 first team appearances int he 2010-2011 season, including becoming the first player born after the inception of the competition to take part in it. It was decided that McEachran’s performances earned him a long term extension with the club. While he was at Chelsea, Arnesen was unable to reach an agreement with McEachran, and the club has had no luck since without a sporting director in place. Arnesen has used Chelsea’s lack of a sporting director and now a manager to make a move for McEachran.

The Croatian International led the Belgian Pro League in scoring this season with 22 goals. He was voted by his peers as the player of the year in Belgium. Perisic told the Club Brugge website “Next to my title as top scorer this is a nice award, which I also have to thank my team-mates and coaches at Club Brugge for. I am happy to be able to leave the club in such a good way, it was an important period in my career, thank you all.”

The signing of Perisic will be the second of the summer for Dortmund. They have already signed İlkay Gündoğan from Nürnberg. Both players will be attempting to alleviate the loss of Nuri Şahin who left Dortmund to sign with Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Bayern’s previous fullback target was Benfica left back Fabio Coentrao. Bayern, however, felt that his quoted €30 million price tag was far too hefty.
