Following the aftermath of the biting scandal from a heated World Cup group match, the Metro are reporting that Luis Suarez may be leaving Liverpool after all.

Why Barcelona Can't Afford To Sell Cesc Fabregas To Manchester United

In the past few weeks, the Cesc Fabregas saga has reached new heights. David Moyes has openly stated that Manchester United have had bids which are believed to be around £26 million and £31 million rejected. Moyes isn’t finished there either, he appears to be surprisingly optimistic as he has said “when you are interested in good players you want to give it every opportunity to materialise. “I’ll hope that things can continue to move forward.” I was at how optimistic he was despite the countless bold statements from the Barcelona camp and the recently appointed Barcelona manager Gerardo Martino saying ‘'Man United want Cesc?

Thiago sale is a mistake (Video)

Bayern Munich's signing of midfielder Thiago Alcantara from Barcelona has left many people questioning what the Spanish club is up to. The 22-year-old, who has already played a fair amount of first team football at the Camp Nou over the past few seasons, was apparently unhappy at not being assured of regular first team action.

Where did Spain go wrong against Brazil? Have they been found out?

If there is one criticism about the all-conquering Spanish national team it is that they can be boring to watch. The endless passing, nice triangles and interchanging of positions are all done as they wait for the crucial moment when their opponents make a mistake and they can suddenly attack.

Will Neymar change Barcelona?

It is now official that Brazilian superstar Neymar will join Spanish giants Barcelona this summer and sign a five year contract in the process. Speculation about the Santos striker's future had begun months ago, with most of the biggest clubs in Europe interested. However, in the last few days it became clear that there were only two possible destinations and the choice was between Spain's biggest clubs.
