Chelsea to bid €80 million for Morata

By

Chelsea are reportedly set to turn to Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata with an offer in the region of €80 million (£70.9 million) after missing out on Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United.

According to Javier Silles of AS, Chelsea are now Morata's best chance of getting a move this summer after he appeared to be close to joining United prior to their capture of Lukaku.

While a move to Old Trafford "has not yet been ruled out," sources have reported the Blues will make an offer "close to €80 million, including all variables, to Real Madrid in the next few days."

Angry Messi tells Barca to Drop Andre Gomes

By

Gomes has endured a difficult first season at Barcelona since signing from Valencia in the summer. But despite his erratic displays, manager Luis Enrique continues to persist with him. His selection is said to be causing frictions in the dressing room with Messi particularly annoyed. And Spanish outlet DiarioGol claim the Argentina international has demanded Gomes be dropped with immediate effect. Messi and fellow forwards Neymar and Luis Suarez are said to be appalled at Enrique's faith in Gomes. They believe their failure to hit top form is down to the 23-year-old lacklustre displays in the middle of the park. The midfielder's inclusion has come at a price with Ivan Rakitic forced to settle for a place on the bench. And Rakitic is now being Linked with a move to Real Madrid having grown tired of life out in the cold.

MESSI AT IT AGAIN, AS BARCA LEAVES IT LATE

The Catalan side left it late to secure the points over the La Liga strugglers, though the pressure remains on the manager from the fans A late Lionel Messi penalty snatched a 2-1 victory over Leganes at Camp Nou on Sunday evening, though Luis Enrique was the focus of booing from the Barcelona crowd for much of the game. Messi opened the scoring early in the tie in what looked like it would be a rout for the Catalan side, though Unai Lopez levelled the game for Leganes after 71 minutes. It looked as though the visitors would earn a share of the points as frustration grew amongst the home side, though a powerful penalty from Messi minutes from time saved the club's blushes

Man Utd beats St Etienne to progress in Europa League

By
Manchester United secured Europa League progress at a cost, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan limping off shortly after opening the scoring against St Etienne to put his EFL Cup final hopes in jeopardy. Jose Mourinho named a surprisingly-strong line-up considering they arrived in France boasting a 3-0 lead for the last-32 return leg – a bold decision that backfired somewhat. In-form Mkhitaryan limped off after 25 minutes in St Etienne holding the back of his right leg, having already set United on course for a 1-0 second-leg win on a night when Eric Bailly was sent off for quick-fire bookings.

Haye: I will end Bellew's career

By

David Haye has vowed to end Tony Bellew’s career when the pair meet at The O2 on Saturday night, live on Sky Sports Box Office. After weeks of tense build-up, the pair faced off at a heated press conference in Liverpool on Monday during which Haye (28-2-26KO) received a raucous welcome from the largely pro-Bellew crowd in attendance. That reception served to further heighten a growing sense of irritation in Haye and he has vowed to take his frustrations out on WBC cruiserweight champion Bellew (28-2-1-18KO) this weekend. The fact that he chased me around and the fact that he jumped out of the ring after the BJ Flores fight and tried to attack me - that is stuff people don't normally do to me. "It has definitely generated the interest and got the fight here but I don't know what he is going to do to survive the first couple of rounds. "I am hoping and praying he does so it is a good fight for the fans, but I don't know what he can do. Maybe tuck up really tig...
