Fiorentina did have the winger on loan for the latter half of last season but Jurgen Klopp’s men have now emerged as contenders for his signature. Barcelona winger Cristian Tello is attracting interest from Fiorentina and Liverpool as the 24-year-old looks set to move away from the Catalan club this summer. Having spent the last six months on loan in Florence, it is thought the Gigliati are looking to make the move for the winger a permanent one, whilst Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp is also said to be an admirer of the Spaniard. Liverpool have been keeping tabs on Tello’s career in recent years and were linked with a bid for the player, before he completed a two-year loan spell to Porto from 2014 until 2016. However, despite the apparent … [Read more...]

AC Milan sets sight on former Manchester City coach
AC Milan will set their priority on a winning and experience gaffer in their search for a new coach, as indicated by the club’s latest link to former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini. After being unpleasantly snubbed by their primary target Unai Emery, who is set to continue his career at Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain , the Rossoneri continue their search for international talent and have set their sight on the 62-year-old Chilean. It is reported that both vice-president Adriano Galliani and the impending Chinese investors have approved of Pellegrini, for whom the 1-1 draw at Swansea City in mid-May was the last official game on the Citizens’ bench with Bayern Munich’s Pep Guardiola set to replace him after the summer.

Christian Benteke may quit Anfield if he doesn’t get regular playing time
Liverpool striker Christian Benteke says he will have to consider his future if he does not fit into Jurgen Klopp’s plans for next season. The Belgium international scored 10 goals last season, the fourth best at the club, having slipped down the pecking order when the German replaced Brendan Rodgers – the man who signed Benteke for £32.5million last summer. From mid-October, when Klopp took over, Benteke started just 13 of 52 matches and was used sparingly as a substitute having fallen behind compatriot Divock Origi. The striker has often stressed his desire to remain at the club, saying at one point he will fight like a warrior to save his Anfield career , but accepts if that pattern is likely to continue next season then he may have think about options … [Read more...]

Arsenal to offer Hector Bellerin new contract
Arsenal are reportedly preparing to offer full-back Héctor Bellerín a lucrative new contract to counteract interest from Barcelona. The 21-year-old has been named in Vicente del Bosque’s final 23-man squad at the expense of injured Dani Carvajal ahead of the European Championship despite only making his debut for Spain during the 3-1 friendly victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina last month. Barcelona have aspirations to lure the talented defender back to the Camp Nou but their plans have been accelerated after learning of Dani Alves’s desire to join Juventus after he insisted upon a get-out clause in his contract last summer.
