£35m Bid For A Manager - Yes, Really, A MANAGER!

According to a shareholder, Monaco offered to buy out the remainder of Mourinho's contract at Chelsea. 

The bid was reportedly rejected by owner Roman Abramovich who has once again shown his loyalty to the Portuguese. 

The shareholder involved claims that Abramovich said he would be tempted should the offer be doubled!

Arsenal To Release Trio At End Of Season

The Evening Standard are reporting that Arsenal are planning for life without experienced trio Tomas Rosicky, Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta.

The Evening Standard claim that although no decision has been made, it is likely that the three will be let go when their deals expire in the Summer. 

It is thought the final outcome will depend on Arsenal's ability to replace Rosicky, Flamini and Arteta. 

With the fans' recent unhappiness with the club's refusal to sign a world class central defensive midfielder, this could come as welcome news and the departure of Flamini and Arteta would leave the club rather short in that area, perhaps prompting some action in the Summer.

Liverpool Chasing Barcelona Winger

The Metro are reporting that upon the conclusion of his loan spell at Porto, Liverpool will chase the signature of Barcelona's Cristian Tello. 

The 24-year-old is thought to want to leave the Nou Camp on a permanent basis due to his limited role in the first team.

Liverpool fans will probably want to sign the talented winger when they hear that Merseyside rivals Everton are also thought to be interested. 

Chelsea And City Given Fresh Hope In Pogba Pursuit

The Daily Express are reporting that Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has claimed that there is in fact no deal in place for Pogba to join Barcelona.


Chelsea and City were thought to be after the dynamic French midfielder in the Summer but reportedly the player rejected the move. 

It was initially thought that he turned down Chelsea due to an agreement to join Barcelona, however these fresh reports put that to bed. 

Barcelona's transfer embargo will be lifted in January and the club still remain likely to sign the youngster, however Pogba's agent claims he hasn't yet made a decision and could even stay another season at Juventus.
