World Football Gossip Roundup: David Silva, Olivier Giroud, Oriol Romeu, Nani

David Silva is set to make crazy money, Anderson is on borrowed time and Nani is under gag orders.

That's the latest word from the rumor mill, and we've got all those stories in Tuesday's edition of the B/R World Football Gossip Roundup.

Elsewhere we have updates on Oriol Romeu, Marouane Fellaini and Olivier Giroud. Read on for the details.

Silva Set for Big Bucks?

Spanish midfielder David Silva is on the verge of signing a new contract with Manchester City reportedly worth £200,000 per week, according to the Daily Mirror.

Silva, 26, joined City from Valencia in 2010 and in recent weeks had been linked with Spanish champions Real Madrid.

The Mirror speculates that Silva's new contract would run until 2017.

United to Offload Anderson?

Manchester United are ready to sell Brazilian midfielder Anderson, according to a Goal.com exclusive.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly lost confidence in Anderson, and Goal.com speculates that United will sell next summer.

Anderson, 24, joined United from Porto in 2007. Porto and Tottenham were thought to be interested in signing Anderson this summer.

In other United news, the club has reportedly told Nani to stop talking about his contract situation with the press (via Daily Mirror).

United reportedly tried to sell Nani, 25, to Zenit St. Petersburg this summer.

Romeu Back to Spain?

Valencia are interested in signing Spanish midfielder Oriol Romeu from Chelsea (via Daily Star).

Romeu, 20, broke into Chelsea's first team last season under Andre Villas-Boas but has seen little playing time under Roberto Di Matteo.

According to the Star, Romeu's contract has a clause that allows former club Barcelona to buy him back for €12 million.

The Star cites Spanish paper El Mundo Deportivo, which speculates that Barca might help Valencia bring Romeu back to Spain. The manner of Barca's potential assistance is not specified.

Fellaini to Clear the Air?

Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini will meet with Everton manager David Moyes to "clear the air" over his recent comments about leaving the club (via The Sun).

Fellaini, 24, joined Everton in 2008 from Standard Liege. Last week he was quoted as saying he will leave Everton at the end of the current season (via Daily Mail).

Giroud 'Freezing Up'

Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud has said he is "freezing up" in front of goal (via FIFA.com).

Giroud, 25, joined the Gunners from Montpellier in the summer. He has not yet scored a goal.

"

I’ve been freezing up a little bit just when I’ve been about to pull the trigger, and that’s exactly what happened in my first few matches for France. I’m not too worried about it, because I’ve been scoring in training and I feel pretty comfortable being a part of this team. I just need to not think about things too much, so that I feel as relaxed as possible when the time comes to stick the ball in the net.

"

Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror quotes Giroud as saying it's too early for people to compare him to Robin van Persie. Van Persie left Arsenal for Manchester United this summer.

"I'm coming in after someone who scored 30 goals last season, but who took eight years to reach that level," Giroud said. "I feel that I have less time to establish myself and that there are more immediate expectations of me."
