Blackburn Rovers have revealed they made an attempt to sign
Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano in January.
Blackburn, now under the ownership of Indian company Venky's,
expressed an interest in signing the likes of Ronaldinho and David
Beckham as they sought to make a major impact in the January
window.
In the end, they signed Mauro Formica and Ruben Rochina on
permanent deals as well as Roque Santa Cruz and Jermaine Jones on
loan, but they have now announced that they made an ambitious bid
for Brazil international Fabiano.
"We did talk with Sevilla about Fabiano," a spokesman told the
Lancashire Evening Telegraph. "It was after we did not
sign Ronaldinho, but we are not interested in signing Fabiano
now.
"We want to sign a young striker, but there are no plans for
transfers now. We still have more time."
Blackburn Rovers are dreaming "possible" dream =.=
