Liverpool not interested in Gotze'

Mario Gotze will not be moving to Anfield this summer.
That’s according to the Liverpool Echo, who say the Reds have pulled out of the race to sign the Bayern Munich playmaker.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp had been interested in a reunion with Gotze but is now said to be happy with his attacking options following Sadio Mane’s arrival from Southampton.
It will now be left to Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham to battle it out for Gotze’s signature.

 

Morata not for sale?

Contrary to everything you’ve heard this summer, Spanish newspaper AS have now claimed Alvaro Morata is NOT for sale.
Real madrid exercised their buy-back clause with the intention of selling him on.
But with Arsenal and Chelsea seemingly refusing to pay Real’s huge asking price, the Spanish side may simply keep the striker.

 

Mourinho puts four big names up for sale

Jose Mourinho will sell four big name Manchester United players this summer as he continues his rebuilding job of the club’s first-team squad.
Juan Mata, Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind and Bastian Schweinsteiger will all be shifted out by the Special One, writes Duncan Castles for the Daily Record.
Popular attacking midfielder Mata was sold to United by the then-Chelsea manager Mourinho in January 2014, and the same fate is set to befall him just two-and-a-half years on.
Mourinho is unconvinced by Mata’s stamina, pace and, crucially, his defensive ability, and the club’s recruitment of right-sided attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan is ominous for Mata, who was mainly deployed on the right wing by Louis van Gaal over the past two seasons.
Rojo was Van Gaal’s headline defensive signing in the Dutchman’s first summer at the club, costing €20m from Sporting Lisbon plus the free loan of former United Player of the Year Nani on heavily subsidised wages.
