CHELSEA TO BID FOR SUAREZ

Chelsea are looking to test Liverpool's resolve with a £40 million bid for Luis Suarez who has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid. Liverpool who insists that the Uruguayan is not for sale will be forced to at least listen to offers of at least £40 million as there is a clause in Suarez's contract to that effect. The Reds had earlier turned down a £30 million  offer from Arsenal for Suarez who has made no secret of his intention to leave Anfield after a turbulent season at the club.

 

 

WEST HAM LOOKING TO SIGN DOWNING FROM LIVERPOOL

Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager has already brought in few players this transfer window and it seems like Stewart Downing is not part of Rodgers' long term plans for the club. West Ham is looking to take advantage of this by making a bid for the England international after bringing Andy Carroll to the club.

FOWLER BACKS LIVERPOOL'S PURSUIT OF SHAKHTAR'S MKHITARYAN

Anfield legend, Robbie Fowler is supportive of Liverpool's efforts to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The Armenian who is said to also be the target of Borussia Dortmund was missing from training recently because of the whole transfer saga involving him, his current club and Liverpool. ‘Yes, he’s a great player. I’ve seen him a few times in the Champions League,’ he said.‘He’s a very attacking, very young forward. We’re linked to him. I don’t know if he’s going to sign. I’m sure whoever comes in will be the right fit.’

 

 

ARSENAL TO BID FOR SUAREZ

Arsenal who are looking for a new striker to make up for losing Robin Van Persie to rivals Manchester United are said to be considering a move for Liverpool striker, Luis Suarez. While earlier reports had suggests that Suarez may move abroad to escape the intrusive British media, it has now emerged that Suarez may consider moving to Arsenal since they can offer him Champions League football on a consistent basis.

REAL MADRID HAS NOT MADE ANY BALE OFFER

 In a news that will shock many pundits and fans alike, Jonathan Barnett, the agent for Gareth Bale claims, Real Madrid has not made an offer for the highly rated Tottenham Hotspurs winger. The winner of last year's prestigious PFA  Player of the Year award is believed to be seeking a move to a bigger club on the continent and one that regularly features in the Champions League but surprisingly, Madrid has not made a formal approach for the player. Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has previously insisted that Bale would not be going anywhere. “We have the pledge of the chairman that Bale is not going to leave the club,” the Portuguese told Marca last month.

 

 

LLORENTE HOPES FOR ANOTHER SERIE A WIN TO IMPRESS DEL BOSQUE

 

Few seasons ago, many thought Fernando Llorente would end up in England but as it turns out he's now in Italy with Juventus, Italy's most successful club. The Spaniard had great difficulty towards the end of his time at Athletic Bilbao after a falling out with the club's management and made few appearances and scored few goals. This resulted in fewer appearances for Spain and now he's hoping for success at Juve to revive his national career.He told the club's official website: "For me it's a dream to be here. Juventus is a fantastic club and I believe the club is perfect for someone like me who always wants to improve.

 

 

 

 

JONJO SHELVEY MOVES TO SWANSEA

Jonjo Shelvey who was signed from Charlton few years ago will move to Swansea in a 4 year deal. He was regarded as one of England's bright young prospects but a move to Liverpool seemed to change all of that as he failed to break into a first team. Shelvey who was signed before Brendan Rodgers came to Anfield is not part of Rodgers' long term plan for the club so a move away from Anfield seemed almost inevitable. This may also help improve his chances of playing for the England senior team as he would now have more playing time to show his ability.

LIVERPOOL MEETS SHAKHTAR'S ASKING PRICE FOR MKHITARYAN

The 24 year old Shakhtar Donestk star will reportedly complete his move to Anfield within the next 72 hours after the two clubs agreed a €30m (£25.6m) fee for the Armenian international. This may come as  a shock to some who felt sure he'd move to Borussia Dortmund after the German club made a bid first but now it seems that the player will move to England and not Germany. Last week there were reports of the player missing training because he was unhappy that a deal to Liverpool could not be materialised but now it seems he will get his way after all. This will excite many Liverpool fans as the player is a good prospect and will add more firepower to the squad. It'll also send a strong message to critics about Liverpool's long term ambition.

BARCELONA STILL HAVE MONEY TO SPEND

In a bid to quash reports that they have no money to sign more players following the capture of Neymar, a club spokesman confirmed Barcelona can still sign more players. While the signing of Neymar is welcomed, many will want Barcelona to sign at least one more striker and if Neymar gets his way, it could very well be Wayne Rooney from Manchester United. It's no secret that David Villa is not as good as he was before he injured his tibia and Barcelona's participation in various competitions including the Champions League means Barcelona needs more strikers in the event of injuries. Another area that needs strenghtening is defence where the reliable Carlos Puyol has been plagued with injuries. Gerard Pique has been paired with Javier Mascherano who is not a proper central defender but is actually a defensive midfielder. It remains to be seen whether Barcelona does spend.

 

 

LIVERPOOL TRANSFER TARGET MKHITARYAN TO JOIN DORTMUND

In a news that won't please Liverpool fans, highly rated Shakhtar player, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is very close to signing for Borussia Dortmund. Few days ago, there were reports of a bid from Dortmund and the need for Liverpool to sell Luis Suarez to raise cash for the purchase of Mkhitaryan but now it has been confirmed that the Shakhtar player will end up in Dortmund. Apparently, Dortmund and Shakhtar have agreed a fee and Dortmund will now wait to discuss personal terms with the player.The only consolation for Mkhitaryan is that unlike Liverpool, Dortmund will feature in next season's Champions League.

 

 

DAVID LUIZ COULD END UP AT BAYERN

Chelsea defender, David Luiz who had a good outing in the recent Fifa Confederations Cup  is drawing attention from German Champions Bayern Munich. UK's Daily Mail reports: 'Pep Guardiola is a long-term admirer of the Brazil defender, who is also attracting interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.'.  It'll be a big surpise to many if the Brazilian were to leave when Jose Mourinho's just returned to Chelsea and there hasn't been any indication from Chelsea that they'd like to get rid of Luiz.

LIVERPOOL INTERESTED TO SIGN TOM INCE

Brendan Rodgers is keen on yet another winger and this time it's none other than Tom Ince. The player who is a product of Liverpool's youth academy is currently at Blackpool and is also the target of Swansea and Cardiff.Unfortunately, Tom's father Paul believes, Tom could still stay at Blackpool despite interests from other clubs.

NEYMAR URGES ROONEY TO JOIN HIM AT BARCELONA

Wayne Rooney who's made no secret that he wants to leave Manchester United in recent times has been advised by recent Barca recruit, Neymar to join him at the Catalan club.The style of football we (Barcelona) play and the level of the players we have – we are the perfect club for the top players to join,” he said.“I have met Wayne on a few occasions and he seems a good guy but importantly, he is one of the players I admire most in the world. Wayne is one of the most gifted and technical players in the world.“Of course he would improve Barcelona. He would improve any club in Europe. And on a personal level, it would be a dream to play with him.” The player himself has not indicated his preferred destination but given he didn't have a good relationship with Sir Alex towards the end of Sir Alex's tenure at Old Trafford and David Moyes while he was still playing for Everton, any move away from Manchester would be welcomed by Rooney.

PAULINHO CLOSE TO JOINING TOTTENHAM

The Brazilian midfielder is expected to move to White Hart Lane very soon in deal worth £17m. Paulinho who featured in Brazil's recent successful outing in the FIFA Confederations Cup hinted at his exit when he said "What I have to say to Corinthians is 'see you soon',". "Pretty soon I'll be back, owing to everything you have done for me." Real Madrid were thought to be another possible destination but all signs are that the player's headed for White Hart Lane instead. This will be another good news for Tottenham fans with reports suggesting David Villa will also move to White Hart Lane.

 

SHAKHTAR BOSS SURPRISED WITH MKHITARYAN LIVERPOOL LINK

Shakhtar Donetsk boss, Mircea Lucescu believes that midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan should only leave for a club that's better than Shakhtar like Real Madrid or Barcelona but not Liverpool or Spurs. His latest statement won't sit well with fans of the English clubs who may feel that Donetsk only does well domestically and appears frequently in European competitions because it doesn't face much competition in the Ukrainan league. The Barclays Premier League is regarded by many as one of the most difficult leagues to play in.

 

 

TORRES INVOLVED IN MILAN EXCHANGE MOVE

Apparently, Jose Mourinho doesn't fancy Fernando Torres and would like to exchange the Spaniard with AC Milan forward Stephan El Shaarawy for a fee in the region of £30m. We suspect it's got nothing to do with the latter's hairdo either.
