Striker Hannover 96 ini menjadi incaran baru Lazio.

Mohammed Abdellaoue

Penampilan gemilang Mohammed Abdellaoue ketika Hannover 96 berhadapan dengan Manchester United akhir pekan lalu rupanya dipantau Lazio.

Abdellaoue berhasil mencetak sebuah gol ke gawang David De Gea dan membawa Hannover sempat unggul 3-1 meski akhirnya kalah 4-3. Menurut Il Messaggero, penampilan itu yang menarik minat pelatih Lazio Vladimir Petkovic untuk mencoba menduetkannya dengan Miroslav Klose di lini depan.

 

Lazio memang masih mencari striker baru setelah pendekatan mereka terhadap Burak Yilmaz dan Patrick Helmes tidak membuahkan hasil. Seperti diungkapkan agen Stig Lillejord kepada GOAL.com Jerman, Abdellaoue siap mendengarkan tawaran yang datang.

"Dia betah di Hannover dan masih mengantungi dua tahun kontrak. Tapi tentu saja, Moa punya ambisi. Wajar dengan pemain berkualitas seperti dirinya. Tidak ada keraguan jika ada klub yang lebih berkualitas dari Hannover mendekatinya," ujar Lillejord.

"Untuk saat ini, saya belum mau menanggapi kemungkinan apapun, baik soal Lazio maupun klub lain. Tapi kalau ada tawaran menarik yang datang, Moa akan mendengarkannya."

Abdellaoue bergabung ke Hannover dari Valerenga musim 2010/11 dan mengemas 21 gol dalam 54 penampilan di Bundesliga Jerman.

Hamburg SV dapat menjadi tujuan Vincenzo Iaquinta setelah tak mendapatkan tempat di Juventus musim ini, demikian lansir Football Italia.

Striker 32 tahun itu masuk ke dalam daftar jual Juventus setelah tidak berhasil mendapat kepercayaan dari pelatih Antonio Conte. Dengan sisa kontrak hingga 2013, sejumlah klub meminatinya, terutama Fulham.

 

Selama musim 2011/12, Iaquinta tidak tampil sama sekali untuk Juventus dan dipinjamkan ke Cesena Januari lalu. Masalah cedera menghambat penampilannya selama 24 bulan terakhir dan Iaquinta hanya mampu mencetak satu gol dalam tujuh pertandingan bersama Cesena.

Daniel Van Buyten mengalami cedera patah tulang

Bek Bayern Munich Daniel Van Buyten dikabarkan telah mengalami cedera patah tulang metatarsal. Diyakini, cedera tersebut akan membuat pemain nasional Belgia ini absen hingga dua bulan. Van Buyten mengalami cedera tersebut saat membela Bayern melawan Borussia Monchengladbach. Saat itu Bayern dipaksa menyerah 3-1 dalam laga lanjutan Bundesliga Jerman dinihari tadi. Bek berusia 33 tahun ini akan menjalani tes pemindaian pada bagian kakinya Sabtu waktu setempat. Namun dari dugaan awal, cedera tersebut diyakini sangat tak baik. Sebagai konsekuensinya, van Buyten bakal terancam absen hingga dua bulan. Ini artinya, Bayern harus bisa mencari pengganti buat posisi bek sebelum bursa transfer bulan ini ditutup. Van Buyten telah bergabung dengan Bavarian sejak 2006. Sementara itu kontraknya akan segera berakhir pada penghujung musim ini dengan Bayern.

Jupp Heynckes Incar Bek Borussia Monchengladbach

Pelatih Bayern Munich Jupp Heynckes mengaku terkesan dengan performa bek Borussia Monchengladbach Dante menjelang pertemuan kedua tim di Bundesliga Jerman, Sabtu (21/1) dinihari WIB. Pemain asal Brasil itu sebelumnya menyatakan ingin bermain di klub besar Eropa sekaliber Bayern, dan Heynckes menilai pemain berusia 28 tahun itu sudah mengalami peningkatan signifikan. “Saya musti mengatakan dia telah mengalami peningkatan bagus, dan menjalani pertandingan dengan sempurna,” ujar Heynckes kepada Express.de. Sebagian besar pasang mata bakal menatap Marco Reus dalam pertandingan di Borussia Park tersebut, setelah gelandang Gladbach ini memilih Borussia Dortmund dibandingkan Bayern. Heynckes mengungkapkan, ia sudah tahu sejak awal pemain berusia 22 tahun itu memilih Dortmund, dan menilai Reus harus berjuang keras bila ingin masuk tim inti Bayern. “Setiap tim punya pemain seperti Marco Reus yang bisa membuat perubahan. Secara tidak sengaja, saya sudah tahu dia lebih memilih ke BVB. Itu keputusan tepat, karena bersama kami, dia harus menjalani kompetisi ketat,” kata Heynckes. Bayern mengawali musim ini dengan kekalahan dari Gladbach, dan Heynckes berharap anak asuhnya bisa membalas hasil itu. “Kami ingin balas dendam. Tapi tidak mudah. Kepercayaan diri Gladbach sudah kembali, dan itu memperkuat mereka. Mereka juga mendapat dukungan dari fans. Satu hal yang bisa diperkirakan, laga ini berjalan menarik,” ucap Heynckes.

Wolfsburg make their move for Mandžukić

VfL Wolfsburg general manager Dieter Hoeness is backing Mario Mandžukić to "add lots of power to our attack" after the Bundesliga outfit signed the Croatia forward from NK Dinamo Zagreb.

VfL Wolfsburg have strengthened their attacking options by signing Croatian international striker Mario Mandžukić from NK Dinamo Zagreb for a fee reported to be in the region of €7-8m. Mandžukić, 24, has agreed a four-year contract with the Bundesliga club and will compete for a place in the Wolves' forward line with prolific duo Edin Džeko and Grafite. "We're very happy to have signed Mario and are convinced that he'll add lots of power to our attack," said Dieter Hoeness, the Wolfsburg general manager. "It is also an advantage that he speaks German."

Mandžukić scored 14 goals in 24 league appearances last term as Dinamo won the Croatian title for the fifth successive season. In total, Mandžukić averaged better than a goal every two games for his former club, striking 42 times in 81 matches. He signed off as a Dinamo player with two goals in a 5-1 defeat of FC Koper in the first leg of a UEFA Champions League second qualifying round tie on Tuesday. Naturally, Wolsfburg coach Steve McClaren is delighted to have acquired the forward who moved to Germany in 1992 with his parents, starting his youth career with TSF Ditzingen. "In our system it is important that the strikers are flexible," said McClaren. "I have followed Mandžukić for a while and I'm happy that he's with us now."
