Chelsea are reportedly one of three clubs who are interested in signing Manchester United striker Robin van Persie in the summer. Van Persie’s future has been the subject of much speculation recently in the wake of his unhappiness with his team-mates in the aftermath of United’s dismal defeat to Olympiacos in the Champions League last month. United are supposedly thought to be considering offloading the Dutchman this summer in a bid by David Moyes to rebuild the squad. According to Italian paper Tuttosport, Chelsea have emerged as front-runners for the 30-year old’s signature. Chelsea, despite leading the Premier League by four points, are thought to be in the market for a striker this summer, as manager Jose Mourinho has been unhappy with the performances of his strikers – Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto’o and Demba Ba. Mourinho recently claimed that he ‘had no strikers’ and Van Persie’s proven goal scoring record in the Premier League and cheap availability is likely to […] Read more »

Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic and Manchester City’s Aleksandar Kolarov put their club rivalry aside to serve Serbia’s cause in their 2-1 victory over the Republic of Ireland last night. The two players might be title rivals in the Premier League but they put aside their club rivalries to team up at international level on Wednesday night as they helped Serbia to the win. Speaking to the press ahead of the game, Kolarov, who won his piece of silverware this season with Manchester City’s Capital One Cup win over Sunderland on Sunday, had said that the title race was not on their minds. “It doesn’t concern me. I have known [Ivanovic] since we were kids – I want to win the title, he wants to win the title. “That’s normal, but to be honest, we don’t talk about things to do with our clubs a lot.” Ivanovic’s Chelsea are currently four points clear of second-placed Liverpool at the top of the table, […] Read more »
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho in a recent interview with Esquire magazine has claimed modern footballers are motivated by a desire for wealth and fame rather than sporting success, and said players should focus on football matches rather than preening themselves in front of mirrors on match days. Mourinho, who has won league titles in four different countries, said: “What I feel is that before, players were trying to make money during their career, be rich at the end of their career. But in this moment, the people who surround them try to make them rich before they start their career. “They try to make them rich when they sign their first contract, when they didn’t play one single match in the Premier League, when they don’t know what it is to play in the Champions League. “This puts the clubs in difficult conditions sometimes.” The 51-year-old Mourinho, who is a two-time Champions League winner, revealed that it was up to […] Read more »
According to latest reports, Barcelona are preparing a summer move for Chelsea defender David Luiz to replace the hole created by club legend Carles Puyol’s imminent departure from the Camp Nou in the summer. Barcelona hope to conclude a deal swiftly before the World Cup finals kick off in June, with a bid of €30 million (£24.7 million) expected for Luiz, who is an important figure in Luiz Felipe Scolari’s Brazil squad. Last summer, Barcelona had a formal bid for Luiz rejected by Chelsea, with manager Jose Mourinho adamant that the defender was not for sale. However, a lot has changed since then, and Mourinho has seemingly prepared for life without the 26 year old. Mourinho has signed French central defender Kurt Zouma from Saint-Etienne for £12.5m and holding midfielder Nemanja Matic from Benfica for £21m in January, and he he may consider selling Luiz even though Luiz is not agitating for a move. Chelsea rejected Barcelona’s advances last summer, insisting that they […] Read more »
