La Liga transfer news

Marca claims that Real Madrid star Robinho is discussing a move to Chelsea, with the Spanish daily suggesting his agent Wagner Ribeiro reportedly met with Blues sporting director Frank Arnesen in London.
Los Merengues are believed to want £28 million for their Brazil international.
Jaime Gavilan is a Getafe player having left Valencia following a successful six-month loan. The 23-year-old is starting his third spell at the South Madrid side as he played the 2005/2006 season with Geta.
Gavilan has signed a four-year deal worth £4 million and Valencia will earn 15% of his future transfer. Michael Laudrup’s former team have already signed six players this summer: Ibrahim Kas, Euge Polanski, Rafael Lopez, Joffre Guerron and Adrian Gonzalez.
Vicente Del Bosque will be presented as Spain’s new head coach on Tuesday 15 July, according to the domestic press. The ex-Real Madrid and Besiktas boss will replace Luis Aragones.
Atletico Madrid have been rebuffed in a bid for Chivas de Guadalajara starlet Carlos Plascencia. Mexican director Nestor de la Torre has stated that the offer is far too low, and that other teams are in talks for the exciting Under-15 international.
