The Sleep Gossip

Real sniffing around Robin van Persie in the summer, Chelsea could move for Capello, Pogba off to Juventus and...

REAL AFTER RVPWell holy hell.

You might've thought the tabloids had enough on their plate with arranging the special plith to carry Harry Redknapp down Wembley Way, but it seems they've found enough time in their busy schedules to write a little bit of gossip.

The Sun reports this morning that Real Madrid are sniffing around Robin van Persie. Well, actually, they report on reports from Real rag Marca, so the juice is already draining from this rumour a little bit.

Still, the report says Jose Mourinho tried to sign RVP when he was at Inter Milan, so will try again in the summer when the Dutchman's contract has only a year left to run on it.

'But isn't Jose going in the summer?' you might well cry. Yes, yes he might be, but The Sun still thinks Real will make a move.

The wheels of the saga go round and round...


CHELSEA COULD MOVE FOR FABIO
So, we've seen the last of Fabio Capello in this country, right?

Wrong. If The Sun has their facts right.

The paper reports that Chelsea could be making a move for Fabio Capello should they decide to kick Andre Villas-Boas through the revolving door of their manager's office.

Rob Beasley, who we wouldn't argue with on the basis that he has the eyes of a cold, cold killer, writes that there is 'spiralling speculation', whatever that might mean, that Capello is on his way to the Bridge.

They quote a 'Chelsea source' as saying: "There are strong rumours that Capello is coming and it could be sooner rather than later."

The paper speculates that the continued presence of Roman Abramovich at the Chelsea training ground this week has increased the pressure on AVB, and if the Russian applies boot to arse then Capello will be the man to come in.

Wowsers.


...BUT NOT INTER
One club who apparently definitely aren't interested in Don Fabio is Inter Milan.

Club president Massimo Moratti said: "The theories reported by the media regarding a possible change of management, either now or at the end of the season, are entirely without foundation.

"The latest rumour, regarding Fabio Capello's arrival at Inter, is equally unfounded."


POGBA OFF TO JUVE?
So where will Paul Pogba be next season?

Manchester United rather hope it's there, after they offered the flipping massive midfielder a new contract to try and keep him from the clutches of...well, anyone else, but Juventus might have other ideas, it seems.

The Daily Mail reports that Pogba's agent was in the crowd at Juve's recent Coppa Italia win over AC Milan, and that the current Serie A leaders are keen on taking him to Turin when his contract expires in the summer.

And, just to pad this out a bit, here's what Sir Alex Ferguson said about Pogba's contract last weekend:

"We are negotiating his contract at the moment. It is a bit complicated at the moment because he has changed his agent a couple of times. But the boy wants to stay, that is obvious. Hopefully we can get it done soon."
