<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;"><strong><em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Baffour"; target="_blank">Emmanuel Awuah Baffour</a></em>, </strong>a Ghana national team footballer and the top scorer in last edition of Ghana Premier League has been linked with a move to <strong>East Bengal</strong>. The <a title="New Edubiase United" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Edubiase_United">New Edubiase United</a> striker's
two year contract with his current club ends in this season and he will
be a free agent there after. East Bengal have reportedly approached him
through a player recruitment agency which brought in Yusif Yakubu to
India. Initial reports suggest that the star striker's wage demand is
close to rs 350 Lakhs a season, which is obviously on the higher side as
far as the Red-&-Gold's budget is concerned. However they are keen
to rope him in and top East Bengal officials are hunting for roping in
new co-sponsers who can afford to pay them at-least 50% of Baffour's
demands.</span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;"><strong>East Bengal</strong> defender <em>Nirmal Chhetri</em> announced on a social microblogging site that he will be donning <strong>Mohun Bagan</strong> jersey in the upcoming season. <em>"It

a move to Mohun Bagan..New Challenges, New Surrounding and Hopes!"</em> - <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/nirmalchettri03" target="_blank">Twitted</a>

<span style="color: #333399;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>East Bengal</strong> goal-machine <em>Tolgay Ozbey </em>is all set to switch loyalty to arch-rivals <strong>Mohun Bagan</strong>.
After the last I-League game of the season against Air India, he
revealed the news of his transfer to Green-&-Maroon brigade to his
near and dear ones. However it is unlikely that he will officially
confirm the news before 15th May - till the time Kolkata Football
League gets over. It has been learnt that out of his Rs 150 Lakhs a year
deal, Tolgay has already taken Rs 75 Lakhs in advance from Mohun Bagan.
He is also getting a luxurious Bunglow and a sports car as a gift to
become a Mohun Bagan player. East Bengal officials are still trying to
negotiate with Tolgay in order to convince him to stay at Red-&-Gold
- but all seem to be in lost case.</span></span></span>
<span style="color: #333399;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Promising youngster <em>Lalrindika Ralte</em>
- who is having multiple offers from clubs across the country,
including both the Kolkata bigwigs, - has reportedly made up his mind to
move out of <strong>Churchill Brothers</strong> by the end of current season. It has been learnt that his preffered destination is <strong>East Bengal</strong> and the negotiations are in the final phase. <strong>Mohun Bagan</strong>
too were serious to lure him, but with East Bengal looking to shower
more money, Bagan have retracted a bit and signed another talented Mizo
winger - <em>Lalrinfela</em> from <strong>Southern Samity</strong> - thus tilting the probability in favor of the Red-&-Gold brigade.</span></span>
<span style="color: #333399;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Reports emerging out from Kolkata-based print media houses suggest that <em>Arnab Mondal </em>of <strong>Prayag United SC </strong>is in talks with city-rivals <strong>East Bengal </strong>for
a transfer move. East Bengal have reportedly offered him a lucrative
multi-year contract and the Indian international defender is seriously
contemplating a switch to the Red-&-Gold brigade.</span></span>

roping in right back Nirmal Chhetri, Mohun Bagan are now reportedly
interested to sign Nirmal's partner in the other fullback position from
East Bengal - left back Soumik dey. 28 years old Soumik has been a
Red-&-Gold player for over six seasons and is considered as an icon
player by the East Bengal faithful. It will be a huge blow for East
Bengal if Mohun Bagan succeeds to sign him up on the dotted lines.
Soumik himself denied the rumor when contacted by an LIF correspondent -
but insider information suggests that a top Mohun Bagan official has
got in touch with him regarding the rumored transfer move.</span></span></span></span></span>

for two more season. East Bengal officially announced the news of his
contract extension on air. Robin, who was on a Rs 50 Lakhs per season
package, gets an increment of Rs 10 Lakhs - as per the local visual
