'NAME YOUR PRICE' SAY CHELSEA ON ROONEY
We're not entirely sure why Chelsea need Wayne Rooney, but The Sunday Mirror reckons they are very keen on him indeed.
The paper reports that Jose Mourinho is looking to build a new forward line for his return to Stamford Bridge, and Rooney is very much part of that.
The Mirror claims: 'Sources close to Chelsea claim Roman Abramovich would be prepared to splash out over £30million for Rooney and match his £250,000-a-week United salary. It is believed Abramovich is determined not to be outbid by Paris Saint-Germain for Rooney and will blow any interest from Arsenal out of the water.'
Meanwhile, The Daily Star Sunday reports that Monaco are the latest club to show an interest in Rooney, despite being linked with some other rather big names. More on that shortly.
Also, The Sun on Sunday reports that Chelsea are set to take a £30million hit and sell Fernando Torres this summer, and will then spend £70m on Napoli's Edinson Cavani and Bayer Leverkusen's Andre Schurrle.
NO RONALDO DEAL
Contrary to stuff in Saturday's gossip, the papers today claim Chelsea's bid to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to London is doomed to failure.
The Sunday People claims that Florentino Perez has insisted that Ronaldo will not be leaving Real Madrid this summer, despite talk of a huge bid from Roman Abramovich's pocket.
This will of course also scupper both Manchester United and those goons who have set up a website asking punters to chip in to 'Bring Ronaldo Home'.
Honestly...some people are falling for this sh*t, it seems.
FELLAINI TO FOLLOW MOYES?
Speaking of United, they have of course been linked with Marouane Fellaini.
Here's the big-haired Belgian on his future:
"If I'm leaving Everton, I say if, it will depend on lots of factors.
"I only want to go to a club where the manager really wants me. In 2008, Everton did everything to convince me, especially David Moyes. He made me the player I am now."
FALCAO TO CITY?
It's going to be pretty interesting to see who Manuel Pellegrini buys if/when he takes over as Manchester City manager, and The Sunday People reckons they have an idea about one of the purchases, at least.
The paper claims City have agreed a £54million fee for Radamel Falcao, despite reports that Monaco have already got that one in the bag.
However, Falcao has a rather complex ownership structure, which suggests the deal won't quite be as easy as The People claims.
BEGOVIC & DOWNING SWAPSIES?
Interesting couple of Liverpool stories in the Sunday People.
Firstly, they claim that they want Asmir Begovic as a replacement for Pepe Reina (should he leave for Barcelona) and will offer Stewart Downing in some sort of part-exchange deal.
And also, Christian Eriksen has apparently told Liverpool to make a bid for him otherwise he will sign a new deal in Amsterdam.
They quote a 'source close to Eriksen' as saying: "One minute there was a concrete interest and Liverpool were willing to pay the fee, but now they are taking their time."
