Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has officially apologised to Giorgio Chiellini after biting the Italy defender in Uruguay’s recent World Cup game against the Azzurri. What this means for 27-year-old forward’s future, however, is up for debate.
With Luis Suarez set to miss the start of next season, Liverpool could well be looking to the future regarding their striker department. The Uruguayan has been at the centre of yet more controversy after he bit Giorgio Chiellini in his side’s World Cup group game against Italy. After such a huge incident, especially with this not being the first time the 27-year-old has disgraced himself, there is always the chance the Reds could look to sell him. Although Daniel Sturridge is hot and firing and Rickie Lambert recently arrived from Southampton, the latter’s age could leave the club completely dependent on the former in a couple of years’ time.
Having taken the decision to leave Manchester United in 2012, Paul Pogba is now one of the most sought after midfielders in Europe. Less than a year after switching to Juventus the player made his debut for his country, with the France international currently representing Les Bleus at the World Cup in Brazil.
Formerly regarded was one of the best defenders in the Premier League, Thomas Vermaelen looks sets to sign for Manchester United as part of new manager Louis van Gaal’s rebuilding job. The move would see the Red Devils acquire an experienced centre-back to support younger players like Phil Jones and Chris Smalling.
As it stands, Manchester United’s centre-back options are Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans. With veterans Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic having left Old Trafford, there is now a very youthful look to the Red Devils’ backline. The arrival of 18-year-old left-back Luke Shaw is only further proof of that.
With the departures of David Luiz and Frank Lampard, Chelsea may be feeling a little bit short when it comes to central midfielders. That could explain why their Portuguese manager is believed to be looking at signing compatriot William Carvalho.
At just 19 years of age, Raheem Sterling already finds himself playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world. Although Liverpool are not the footballing power they once were, the Merseyside giants are slowly awakening after coming incredibly close to winning a first Premier League title last season.
With Diego Costa widely believed to be about to sign for Chelsea, there is talk of another striker being lined up to accompany him in the Blues’ frontline. According to the Express, however, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will not be that man.
