Antonio Conte has revealed David Luiz will be allowed to leave Chelsea this month, but only if the Blues sign a replacement first. Conte also wants to finish what he started in the summer by bringing Juventus’s Alex Sandro to Stamford Bridge in the winter window.

Fake News ?

German international midfielder Leon Goretzka has set tongues wagging about a move to Liverpool after he ‘liked’ an Instagram post celebrating the passion of Reds boss Jürgen Klopp. Yes, really.

Manchester United will rival Juventus for the signature of Liverpool midfielder Emre Can, according to Italian newspaper Il Corriere dello Sport. We’ll believe that one when we see it.

And how about this for a headline from the Express: ‘Barcelona star Lionel Messi thinks Real Madrid could beat Man Utd to Paulo Dybala transfer’
