Austria-Russia friendly Mourinho scouted Chelsea target

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho scouted CSKA Moscow star Aleksandr Golovin during Russia’s friendly with Austria on Wednesday night.

Mourinho was spotted in the stands in Innsbruck to watch Austria’s 1-0 win against the World Cup hosts. United have been heavily linked with a move for West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic and it was assumed that Mourinho’s scouting trip was purposely to watch the Austrian. However, Gianluca Di Marzio claims Mourinho was there to watch Russian midfielder Golovin as he ponders a move for the 22-year-old.

Chelsea watched Golovin a number of times last season and the midfielder scored an exquisite free-kick against Arsenal in the Europa League in March. 

United are also keen on signing Brazilian midfielder Fred but Mourinho has admitted he will buy a second midfielder if Marouane Fellaini decides to leave the club.

Chelsea’s move for Sarri close to collapse

Chelsea’s move to make Maurizio Sarri their next manager could be on the verge of collapse, with Italian club Napoli remaining resolute over his release clause.

Sarri

The Italian has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge to take over from Antonio Conte, who is widely expected to be sacked in the coming days. If Chelsea were to sack the Premier League and FA Cup winning manager, they would be forced to pay the final year of his contract, thought to be worth around £9 million.

While Sarri has spent much of his managerial career in the lower reaches of Italian football, he has won many admirers for his progressive football since moving to Napoli in 2015.

His Napoli side were renowned for playing some of the best possession based football in Europe in recent seasons, and they pushed Juventus close for the Serie A title this season, amassing an impressive 91 league points.

Despite Sarri’s success, Napoli have already announced that former Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti will become their new manager. However, the Italian club have not yet sacked Sarri and are holding out for the £7m they are entitled to as compensation for him under the terms of his contract.

Chelsea are still in talks with Napoli over that clause, but Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has insisted that he will not be negotiating:

“I don’t give anyone discounts and no-one has called me about the clause in Sarri’s contract.

“This was a clause put in his contract when it was renewed and his salary increased – so now it is going to be paid.

“I have to defend our fans. The clause defends my choices.

“When I modify a contract, it is with agreement. I inserted the clause, and it has to be honoured. Now the clause is not valid? I don’t like this one-sided idea.”

With Chelsea potentially facing a £16 million bill to change their manager, they could decide to look at cheaper or more available options, or indeed keep Conte on for one more season.

Mohamed Salah shoulder injury: Will he miss World Cup?

Mo Sala injury puts Egyptian fan in fear

The Egyptian star suffered a dislocated shoulder in the Champions League Final.

The entire nation of Egypt waits with baited breath at the injury news surrounding star striker Mohamed Salah after dislocating his shoulder while playing in the Champions League Final on Saturday with Liverpool against Real Madrid. In what's been deemed a cynical challenge by Spanish defender Sergio Ramos, Salah fell to the ground while intertwined with the center back, who locked the Egyptians arm in his clutches while rolling to the pitch. Salah was subbed off in the 30th minute with tears in his eyes as it looked as though Egypt's best player, who single-handedly willed them toward qualification of its first World Cup Finals appearance in 28 years, would not be able to suit up for the Pharaohs. 

However, there seems to be a bit of good news for the Egyptians who are featured in Group A of the 2018 World Cup alongside Saudi Arabia, Uruguay and the hosts, Russia. Marca that Salah might just be fit in time for his nation's opener against Uruguay in just 17 days. 

Liverpool physiotherapist Ruben Pons told Spanish website 

"Once we knew what we had, we planned the treatment, we met with the national team... he's sad about what happened but he's totally focused on recovering and seeing when he can be ready," Pons said. "He is going to make the recovery times. In principle, it will be three to four weeks, but we are going to try to reduce those deadlines, that's the big goal. "It was a difficult ending to Salah's stellar season, which has seen him catapult from promising star with Chelsea and Roma to a 25-year-old Balon d'Or candidate with the Merseysiders. He tallied 43 goals between the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, including 10 in the European championships, which ended harshly for the Salah-less Liverpool in a 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid on Saturday.
