#3 Premier League
– Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic has revealed that he has no plans to leave the club amid interest from four clubs, according to Daily Mail. The full-back was a target for AC Milan, Inter Milan, Zenit St Petersburg and EPL rivals Manchester City.
“I am very happy to stay with Chelsea for another season. After eight years here this is my home and there is no other place I would rather play football,” Ivanovic said. The Serbian defender has been under pressure after failing to perform this season and has even invited the fans’ ire on many occasions.
– Liverpool had reportedly submitted a £24.5m bid for Shakhtar Donetsk forward Alex Teixeira but are now willing to increase the bid to get closer to the Ukrainian club’s valuation of £30m. The Reds are on the lookout for quality replacements with Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi and Danny Ings sidelined with injuries while Christian Benteke has not adapted to Jurgen Klopp’s style of play.
– The Independent claim Alexandre Pato has not reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea and that even Liverpool are interested in the striker. His agent Gilmar Veloz said that the two Premier League sides could face stiff competition from Portuguese Primeira Liga sides Sporting and Benfica.
