That’s what is racing around the interwebs right now. If you can read Italian, check it out here. I assume this would begin following the Galaxy season.

Remember Mateja Kezman?
Yup, the Mateja Kezman that The Special One signed from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven for 5.3 Million Pound after the young Serbian forward dropped 126 goals in 172 matches.
After failing to cement his place in the Chelsea side and only starting 14 times (although he appeared in 37 total games, scoring 7 goals), Kezman was sold to the other Madrid, Atletico Madrid for just a tad higher than what Chelsea had paid.
Once again Kezman featured for just one season (appearing in just 33 matches, scoring 10 times) before being sold to Turkish giants Fenerbache for $9.75 Million, scoring 26 times in 56 appearances in two seasons.
Now Kezman is off once again, this time to Ligue1 side PSG after the French club paid 4 Million Euro (and the 1 Million Euro the 29 year old had to pay himself to get out of his Fenerbache contract) for the very talented player known for being hotheaded.
With a once very promising Serbian National Team career at his feet with 49 appearances and 17 goals, Kezman has not been recalled since his sending off against Argentina in the 2006 World Cup.

UPDATE - Lilian Thurman has called time on a brilliant career that saw him play for some of the biggest clubs (Monaco, Parma, Juventus and Barcelona) in the world, as well as win the World Cup Trophy in 1998 with France.
The 36 year old, who won a record 142 caps for France, is quitting following the discovery of a cardiac malformation (similar to the one that cost his brother his life on a basketball court) during a medical taken in June ahead of a prospective move to Paris St Germain.
This is one of those stories where you really hope there’s a happy ending.
UPDATE - Makelele’s move is official as he’s come to terms with Ligue 1 side Paris St. Germain after spending 5 years and playing out his contract at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea.
Makelele’s initial move from Real Madrid cost Chelsea 16.8 Million Pound and caused a stir in the Spanish capital with many of the Galactico’s unhappy that their most underrated / most coveted player was sold.
The move to Paris will reunite the 35 year old with his partner and son who live in the city.
