Sanchez move edges closer

Alexis Sanchez could be confirmed as a Barcelona player in the next couple of days with the player's Spanish representative claiming the deal is now "80% done".

Sanchez will move to Camp Nou in a €45 million deal, part of which will see Spain Under-21 forward Jeffren Suarez move in the other direction and play for Udinese.

Quique Pina told Cadena COPE: "Right now Barcelona just have to iron out a few details, but it's practically done It's 80% done and the other 20% is what's to be ironed out.

"It's a figure close to €45 million, which is an initial value, including a player and other variables."

The Chilean FA gave Sanchez permission to leave the national team's training camp ahead of the Copa America so he could fly to Spain to complete his move.

Barcelona ready to sell Villa to City or Chelsea to fund summer move for Fabregas

Barcelona are preparing to fund their £50million swoop for Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas by offering David Villa to Chelsea and Manchester City. 

The Catalans' finances are such that they will need to sell some of their players to raise the required fee for Fabregas. And Villa's potential £40m transfer has been earmarked for the move. 

The World Cup winner, 29, joined Barca only 13 months ago in a £35m switch from Valencia and bagged 23 goals for Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering team last term.

Guardiola is reluctant to lose Villa, but would sanctions Spain's all-time top goalscorer if the money could be used to prise Fabregas away from the Emirates.

'Guardiola has a list of players he is prepared to move on to give him more spending power in the transfer market, but Villa is definitely not on that list,' a source revealed. 

'Ideally, he wants to keep Villa – especially after the impact he made in his first campaign with Barca. He sees David as a big player as his side push for more trophies next season.

'But he also knows that he may have to sacrifice Villa to finance incoming deals. And Manchester City and Chelsea would be very happy to buy Villa.'

Barcelona are in the process of trying to reduce their rising debts. In announcing a reduction in the amount the club owe, Javier Faus, the club's vice-president of the finance department said: 'The gross debt has been reduced from £474m to £429m, and the net debt from £383m to £324m.

'We want to decide our future and to do so we must reduce the debt to acceptable levels.'

Resiko gangguan kesehatan bagi pengendara motor

Jakarta yang mempunyai tingkat kepadatan lalu lintas yang sangat tinggi membuat resiko berkendara menjadi sangat banyak. Tingkat kecelakan pengendara sepeda motor berdasarkan catatan pihak kepolisian adalah nomer satu. Selain kecelakaan, mengendarai sepeda motor ternyata bisa berakibat terganggunya kesehatan kita apabila tidak disertai tindakan pencegahan dengan cara memakai alat pengaman.

Polusi udara merupakan musuh utama pengendara sepeda motor, bayangkan saja apabila selama satu jam kita mengendarai sepeda motor berapa banyak asap dan debu yang kita hirup. Setiap berhenti di lampu merah, kendaraan yang berhenti bisa berjumlah puluhan yang menyebabkan kendaraan mengeluarkan asap (CO2) dari pembakaran yang tidak sempurna dan tentunya bisa mengakibatkan gangguan kesehatan yang sangat serius mulai dari pernafasan hingga paru-paru. Pemakaian masker menjadi kebutuhan utama untuk menghindari asap kendaraan tersebut yang mungkin lebih bahaya daripada asap dari rokok. Pemakaian helm full face yang didesign berukuran pas dengan kepala juga akan mengurangi jumlah asap yang masuk melewati sela-sela helm. 

Selain berakibat pada pernafasan maupun paru-paru, asap dan angin juga berakibat iritasi pada mata apabila tidak dilindungi. Penyakit katarak juga bisa akibat dari seringnya mata kita terkena asap di jalan. Pengendara sepeda motor yang tidak memakai jaket ketika berkendara juga beresiko terkena masuk angin. Kondisi tubuh yang lelah akibat bekerja seharian juga akan memperparah tubuh kita terkena penyakit akibat lemahnya kekebalan tubuh dan akibatnya gampang terkena penyakit. Berkendara motor dalam waktu yang lama bisa juga membuat penyakit ambien akibat duduk dalam waktu yang lama.

Pengendara sepeda motor tampaknya harus menjaga fisik dengan baik, memakai alat-alat keselamatan standard juga diperlukan untuk mengurangi bahaya kecelakaan. Memakan makanan bergizi dan rajin olahraga dianjurkan agar stamina terjaga untuk mendapatkan tubuh yang segar ketika berkendara di pagi hari maupun sore hari.
