EPL Gossip Saturday May 10th
Liverpool describe as “fantasy” suggestions that they have had a bid from Inter Milan for Steven Gerrard. (Press Association, 0439 BST)
Well that explains that rumor that came out of the blue yesterday.
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has agreed a three-year deal with AC Milan to link up with boss Jose Mourinho, who is likely to replace Carlo Ancelotti next season. (The Daily Mirror)
It’s easy for A.C Milan to strike a deal with Drogba. It won’t be so easy to strike a deal with Chelsea that would allow the transfer to happen.
Chelsea are ready to bid £20m to take striker Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham. (Daily Express)
As stated many times before I’m all in favour of Tottenham cashing in on Berbatov. I would look to ship him to an non EPL team mind you.
Ajax forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar will be a £16m target for Manchester United if they cannot lure Berbatov from Spurs. (Daily Express)
The press are going to report Manchester United with 20 targets come the summer transfer period. Sometimes I think the press just picks out names out of a hat and go with that as the headline.
Frank Lampard has been given a “take it or leave it” offer on a new contract, with Inter Milan joining the queue of clubs keen to take the England midfielder. (The Sun)
Nothing will decided while the season is still ongoing one way or another. My gut feeling is that Lampard decides to take up a new challenge next season.
