Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal are all the talk of the papers today. Get the latest here.
The transfer window may be closed, but the rumour mill keeps on moving…
German star Mesut Ozil has poured cold water on claims he could be looking for a way out of Real Madrid.
He told German ‘Kicker’ magazine he has his heart set on a long stay at the Bernabeu.
The again this is the same publication Carlos Tevez denies giving quotes to about his dispute with Manchester City so who knows?
Ozil was once a target for Manchester United, but he elected to go to Madrid instead.
The Mail has some gossip that Liverpool are eyeing a swoop for Chile midfielder Mauricio Isla.
The player currently plays for Italian side Udinese and the paper reports that Liverpool are preparing to make a £12 million offer in the summer.
The 23-year-old featured in all his country’s games at the World Cup and could be a good acquisition for Liverpool.
The same paper has a far-fetched story about Luis Suarez being a target for Juventus.
Its quite likely that Juventus are looking at testing the waters with a bid, but it is very unlikely Liverpool would want to sell.
The Italians are clearly gambling that Suarez might be unsettled in England because of the eight-game ban, but the only way Liverpool would agree to a sale for their talisman is if he demanded it himself.
Speaking of far-fetched, how about this report that Sergio Aguero could be off to Real Madrid.
Aguero has been a real professional since his move to England, he has fitted into another style of play seamlessly, and has not been in any off-field drama. Take note Mario Balotelli.
It is claimed that Madrid’s hierarchy are desperate to land the Argentine no matter what, and are preparing to sell Gonzalo Higuain to Chelsea to fund the deal.
The Mirror are reporting Roberto Mancini‘s quotes to a French newspaper in which he praises Eden Hazard.
The Belgian forward is one of Europe’s hottest properties and there is expected to be a major transfer battle for his signature this summer.
So Manchester City are of course confirmed as interested, but Chelsea and Arsenal are reported to be monitoring the situation very closely, along with Spanish giants Real Madrid.
