- Chelsea should look to replace Rafael Benitez with Jose Mourinho this summer, former Blues striker Didier Drogba has told Sky Sports.
- But Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso has told The Times of India that he is hopeful that Mourinho will stay at the club next season despite him being linked with a return to his former club.
- And Mourinho himself has refused to discuss his future with Real Madrid as he continues to be linked with the Blues.
- Neymar, who has been linked with the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea and Real Madrid, has been urged by compatriot Ronaldo to leave Santos as soon as possible and join a top European club.
"Neymar is undoubtedly an excellent player," Ronaldo told Sports Spectacular.
"He is going to be one of the best in the world when he decides to play in Europe.He is too talented to be limited only to Brazil.
"He has had several proposals from clubs abroad, but he renewed his contract with Santos. Ideally the best time to leave for Europe would be before the World Cup in 2014. It would make him more mature and he would have more experience to lead Brazil."
- Thibaut Courtois, who is currently on loan at Atletico Madrid, has admitted he is unsure about his future at Chelsea as the Blues continue to be linked with a move for striker Radamel Falcao.
- Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony has opened the door to a switch to West Ham after revealing a summer move to Upton Park is a ‘possibility’.
- Pepe Reina will still be Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper next season, insists manager Brendan Rodgers.
- Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku wants another loan move next season but is unlikely to stay at West Brom.
- Mark Hughes could replace Neil Warnock for the second time in 15 months after being lined up by Leeds, according to the Daily Mirror.http://www.crunchsports.com
