More from Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid and more
Arsenal
Benfica left-back Alejandro Grimaldo was offered to Arsenal last summer but they decided to proceed with Oleksandr Zinchenko as their priority target. Now many clubs are following him as it’s a big opportunity on the market but there are no negotiations ongoing yet; also Juventus have sent their scouts to follow Grimaldo in the last few months.
Barcelona
Barcelona vice president Rafa Yuste: “Xavi is a manager we love, there’s no doubt on that. He’s gonna going to give us all the titles we need.”
📰 In other news, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is being considered as a future candidate for the Barcelona job (Sport)
Bayern Munich
A new contract for Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will be discussed in the next few months as Bayern Munich hope to keep him. He’s been a key player this season, man of the match again last night in the win over Inter Milan, and he’s considered a top professional.
Chelsea
Raheem Sterling has spoken about wanting to play in his preferred position for Chelsea after a quiet spell of form. I think it’s normal to have this kind of situation as Graham Potter arrived just 40 days ago and it takes time to understand all the player’s priorities. For sure the manager change was not easy for some players but they are all keen on working with Potter for present and future, including Sterling. There’s no problem.
