2248 BST: Brazilian forward Kleber claims Liverpool are attempting to sign him from Cruzeiro for around £6m.

The player, however, would like to stay in his homeland: "Cruzeiro have been made an offer but I've always said I wanted to play in Brazil and make history here because I know it is possible." (SporTV)

149 BST: West Ham captain Lucas Neill has rejected the terms of a new contract offer but has not ruled out staying with the club.

"The door remains open for West Ham and Lucas. Obviously the longer it goes on, the more likely it's not going to happen," said his agent Darren Jackson. (Sky Sports News)

Manchester United will make a last-ditch attempt to keep striker Carlos Tevez at the club and are willing to pay £25m for the Argentine.

:bouncy:

I dont get you?? did I post it wrong??

Ancelotti will hope to bring AC Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo with him to Stamford Bridge.

Cip doesnt rEALLYexplain the game or show any flow. Get like some game highlights or something.

The former Italian midfielder is also targeting Atletico Madrid's £50m-rated striker Sergio Aguero.

Ancelotti is keen to appoint Filippo Galli, who was his assistant at AC Milan, as his number two at Stamford Bridge.

Yeah I know it's hard to find good ones on YT i'll have a look though!

However, Ancelotti's Chelsea move could be in doubt after Real Madrid declared their interest in the Italian.

He was the (caretaker) until the next manager took over.

MILAN DOWNBEAT ON KAKA

The future of Kaka remains shrouded in doubt after AC Milan general manager Adriano Galliani hinted it would be hard to turn down a substantial offer for the Brazilian this summer.

Kaka has long been a target of Real Madrid while Chelsea are expected to manifest their own interest having appointed Carlo Ancelotti as their manager.

And Galliani could not rule out a sale as he predicts a mass exodus from Serie A if nothing is done to improve the whole footballing infrastructure in Italy.

"With the risk of sounding boring, if we continue like this, we will become a small league," he said.

"We have had requests for Kaka and Pato from two of Europe's biggest clubs and we will try and resist the assault from these European clubs who have more money than us.

"But there is an uneven playing field.

"I remember when we signed (Marco) van Basten and we competed with Barcelona for his signature, and he chose us.

"Today, Barcelona and Real Madrid have an income which is double that of ours."

Not only do the clubs in Spain and England earn more money from television revenue and marketing than the leading Serie A sides, but they can also offer more attractive wages due to more beneficial taxation rules and this, according to Galliani, is pricing Italian clubs out of the market.

"In the mid to long term, players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are not going to come here," he said.

"Thierry Henry had the same offer from Milan than he did from Barcelona but he told us he could get 50% more in Spain, so he joined Barcelona.

"We have got to ask ourselves why nobody is thinking of coming here.

"The problem with Kaka and Pato is a bigger issue. You can discover any player you like but if you cannot pay them the wages of a big club, then they go somewhere else.

"That was the case with Cristiano Ronaldo with Sporting Lisbon and Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Ajax. They had to move on."

Even Milan's new coach Leonardo seemed sceptical about having Kaka in his squad next season.

He said: "I think that Kaka, like any world-class player, is always wanted by other clubs.

"He is a man who will always be in the market. I cannot deny that I hope he continues to play for us as he is a key player for this club.

"But it is normal that he is wanted on the market."

However, despite confirming there is interest from other clubs for Kaka and Pato, Galliani insists "no contract has been signed with anybody else" as yet.

"Kaka is a Milan player," he affirmed.

"The fact other clubs are so interested in our players proves that we were right to sign them."

HOOPS FACE FIGHT FOR MARTINEZ

Celtic will face competition from Wigan and Real Sociedad if they continue to pursue Swansea manager Roberto Martinez.

Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins has revealed he had rejected a request from Celtic to speak to the Spaniard about the vacant managerial role at Parkhead.

But Jenkins added Sociedad had also enquired about his manager while he expects Wigan to follow suit in the coming days.

Martinez enjoyed a successful playing spell at Wigan, who are expected to have a vacancy of their own after accepting a compensation package from Sunderland that will allow Steve Bruce to move to the Stadium of Light.

However, Celtic may yet be allowed to speak to Martinez as Jenkins admitted he would perform a U-turn if the 35-year-old insists on speaking to the Glasgow club when he returns from holiday.

"I'll probably speak to him (Martinez) between now and Wednesday but later on in the week he'll be back home to run through his thoughts with me," Jenkins said.

"First and foremost, it's about his position here and how we see that, and we'll consider all that first.

"I think you've got to respect that type of club Celtic are and what opportunities exist - perhaps not in the league but certainly in the Champions League - and the size of the club.

"Naturally, I suppose that interest would require anybody to sit and consider their position.

"It's basically up to him how he sees it, I think there's certainly no possibility of us forcing any issue. Roberto has got to consider his future and where his commitment lies."

Martinez led the Welsh club to the League One title in his first full season in charge and took them to eighth place in their debut season in the Coca-Cola Championship.

That record is likely to see him installed as one of the favourites for the Wigan job should Bruce's departure be confirmed.

When asked if he had taken a call from Wigan chairman Dave Whelan, Jenkins told BBC Sport Wales: "I'd probably be surprised if I didn't have one but again we'll have to see what happens over the next few days.

"We'll do everything in our power to keep him (Martinez) but ultimately it always comes down to the individual himself, how he feels and what we wants to do and what he wants to do with the next step of his career."

Jenkins has also spoken to Sociedad about Martinez, who had a brief and largely unsuccessful spell at Motherwell before being made redundant when the club went into administration in April 2002.

"We have had a few brief calls, nothing more than that, which is quite natural with the season we've had and the publicity he's had," Jenkins said.

"He's probably quite high on a number of people's lists which is good in one respect but obviously it can also be bad in some other ways."

Celtic refused to confirm the approach and whether others were in the offing, but it is the most concrete development in their hunt to replace Gordon Strachan, who quit last week.

Owen Coyle looks set to pledge his future to Burnley after apparently rejecting overtures from Celtic, while West Brom continue to insist there has been no approach for former Hoops defender Tony Mowbray, who has two years left on his contract.

Motherwell manager Mark McGhee and Craig Levein also continue to be linked with the post but the Dundee United boss denied any knowledge of interest from Celtic, or indeed from Aberdeen as they seek to replace Jimmy Calderwood.

"I was down in England at the races at the weekend and every Scottish punter I met mentioned either Aberdeen or Celtic," Levein told the Dundee Evening Telegraph.

"Them mentioning it was the first time I'd heard and they are the only people who've spoken to me about it."

Everton manager David Moyes yesterday ruled himself out of the running.

"There may well have been an inquiry from Celtic but that doesn't interest me," Moyes said.

"I am the Everton manager and I am a really loyal person."

Johhny! Been reading it, you will have plenty to write about soon.

QUAGLIARELLA JOINS NAPOLI

Italy international Fabio Quagliarella has joined Napoli from Udinese in a five-year deal.

The 26-year-old was Udinese's top scorer this season with 13 goals.

He will play under coach Roberto Donadoni at Napoli, the former Italy boss who selected Quagliarella to play at Euro 2008.

"I am very happy," said Quagliarella. "This is what I wanted.

"This is a dream come true.

"I have always been a Napoli supporter."

Napoli endured a disappointing campaign finishing 12th in the Serie A standings, with 12 wins collected in 38 games.

HANNOVER SWOOP FOR HAGGUI

Hannover have signed Karim Haggui from Bundesliga rivals Bayer Leverkusen.

The Tunisia international has signed a two-year contract with the Reds after his expiring contract with Leverkusen was not extended.

"He should stabilise our defence," said Hannover coach Dieter Hecking on the club's website.

Haggui, who previously played for Racing Strasbourg in France, becomes Hannover's second acquisition this summer following the arrival of Valdet Rama from Ingolstadt.

"Karim will certainly help Hannover," said Hannover's director of sport Jorg Schmadtke.

"He is young yet he still has a wealth of international experience and always gives it his best."

The 25-year-old defender has appeared 53 times for Tunisia and was part of the squad which won the African Nations Cup in 2004.

KHIZANISHVILI SEEKS ROVERS TALKS

Zurab Khizanishvili admits he is to seek talks with Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce after growing frustrated with a lack of first-team football at Ewood Park.

The Georgia international made just three league starts last season and while he remains happy at the club he wants to know what role he will play next year.

"It has been a little bit frustrating because the football side of things has not been going as I hoped it might be," he told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"The season though is finished so we will see what happens next season.

"There is no point talking about what happened in the past.

"I still have a two-year contract with Blackburn, it is up to them really, so all I can do is look forward.

"I don't know if I will still be here next season. All I can say is I have a contract so I am a Blackburn Rovers player.

"I want to play here, but that is my opinion, I don't know what the club are thinking so we will have to talk and see what happens from there.

"I still like it at Blackburn. I am not unhappy; I just wish I was playing a bit more."

ROCHA RELEASED BY SPURS

Tottenham have released Portuguese centre-back Ricardo Rocha after his contract expired.

The 30-year-old defender joined Spurs two and a half years ago but struggled to hold down a regular place and only made 18 appearances.

Reserve team players Simon Dawkins, Kyle Fraser-Allen, Cian Hughton, Danny Hutchins, David Hutton, Jacques Maghoma and Takura Mtandari have also been released, along with Academy players Saulo Asajile, Mark Clare, James Dalton and Ajet Shehu.
