Chelsea Set To Seal Fabregas Deal As Madrid Offer Liverpool £73m For Suarez

Liverpool are on the verge of completing a £15m swoop for Bayern Munich ace Xherdan Shaqiri.

The Swiss international is keen on a move to Anfield after failing to secure regular first-team football under Pep Guardiola at the German giants.

The Reds have also agreed a five-year deal with Sevilla left-back Alberto Moreno.

The 21-year-old is set to seal his £18m move next week.

One player Kop boss Brendan Rodgers will miss out on, though, is Fenerbahce man Caner Erkin.

The Turkish defender has signed a new deal with the Istanbul club, leaving Liverpool and Chelsea disappointed.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is keen on bringing Real Madrid keeper Iker Casillas to north London.

Wenger wants Casillas to provide competition for No.1 Wojciech Szczesny.

However, the Gunners boss is set to miss out on bringing striker Carlos Vela back to the club.

Mexican ace Vela would prefer a switch to Atletico Madrid, who have highlighted him as David Villa’s replacement.

Another man not heading to the Emirates is Karim Benzema.

The Real Madrid man is keen to stay in the Spanish capital, and wants to see Liverpool striker Luis Suarez join him at the Bernabeu this summer.

Rio Ferdinand has turned down an approach from Aston Villa.

The 35-year-old left Manchester United this summer after more than a decade at Old Trafford.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed his desire to bring Cesc Fabregas to Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United have all shown interest in the 27-year-old.

But Chelsea are in pole position to land Fabregas having held positive talks with Barcelona over a deal for the Spain international.

Manchester United are preparing to step up their pursuit of Porto centre-back Eliaquim Mangala.

Arch-rivals Manchester City were ready to splash out £30m to land the 23-year-old, but United have been told he would prefer a switch to Old Trafford.

New United boss Louis Van Gaal is keen to add to his defensive ranks following the departures of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.

Real Madrid have wasted no time in their bid to bring Liverpool striker Luis Suarez to the Bernabeu this summer.

The European champions are desperate to bring the Uruguay international to the club and have offered Liverpool £73m to part with their talisman.

Liverpool will wrap up the £9.75m deal for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Emre Can, subject to documentation being completed.

Newcastle are tracking Ajax midfielder Siem de Jong after snubbing his brother Luke.

Borussia Monchengladbach striker Luuk did not impress during his loan spell with Newcastle last season – failing to score in 12 matches – and a permanent deal was scrapped.

But that has not put off the Magpies pursuing his sibling, who impressed for Ajax last campaign.

And finally former Manchester United boss David Moyes wants to return to management – but only with a Champions League club.
