The 28-year-old admits that, though he has yet to receive any offers from other clubs, he would think about leaving the club if Brendan Rodgers deems it necessary Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel admits he would strongly consider a move away from Anfield if the right offer came in this summer. The centre-back has been out of favour with manager Brendan Rodgers since the turn of the year, having made just four Premier League starts in 2013, with the now-retired Jamie Carragher preferred alongside Daniel Agger in the centre of defence. The Slovakian international signed a new contract only last summer but appears ready to move on, though he also made it clear that he has yet to receive any specific offers. “I have not had any specific offers. But if some should come and they interest me, I would probably ponder it seriously,” he told Slovakian newspaper Dennik Sport. “The club has the biggest say in this in any case, because they have the right for it with me being contracted.” Skrtel moved to Liverpool from Zenit St. Petersburg in 2008 and has since amassed 206 appearances for the Merseyside club – a stay that he insists he is in no great hurry to end. “I do not want to be that specific, I am not saying that I want to leave at any cost,” he continued. “I feel sorry for what happened in this season. But I have been here for five-and-a-half years and I have built a position here.”

The 31-year-old hopes the Italian stays put at Parc des Princes, while adding that he is more than happy in France Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he still hopes Carlo Ancelotti stays at the club, despite the Italian revealing his desire to join Real Madrid. Ancelotti led les Parisiens to the Ligue 1 title earlier this month, but his future has been thrown into doubt after los Blancos put him at the top of their list to succeed Jose Mourinho. However, Ibrahimovic is still hopeful the 53-year-old will change his mind and continue his role at the PSG helm. “Every day, a new name becomes linked to our bench but nothing is official,” Ibrahimovic said to le Parisien. “Ancelotti is still the coach so it makes no sense to speak of another. And I still hope Ancelotti will stay.” The Sweden international arrived from AC Milan last summer to much fanfare , and wasted no time in scoring 35 goals in his debut season at the club. And despite admitting he missed Italian football, Ibrahimovic stressed his happiness both in France and with his own performances this term. “Tomorrow will be the last game against Lorient, we are already champions, but I want to play and keep pace in preparation for the national team,” he continued. “This is my first year, my stats are good, and nobody else has scored as many since a long time ago. We’ll see how many goals I score at the end, but I’m very happy. “Everything else is a bonus.”

Tottenham assistant manager Steffen Freund says Gareth Bale is "positive", despite doubts over his future at the club.

The striker’s dad insists his son is happy in Naples but remains open to a move away from the Stadio San Paolo, with the forward himself keen to avoid speculation The father of Napoli star Edinson Cavani has revealed the striker is likely to move to Spain this summer – if he decides to leave the club in the transfer window. The Uruguay international has been linked with a move to Manchester City but comments from his family seem to suggest that the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are more realistic options. “Edinson is very happy in Italy and I am not saying that to make the fans or directors happy. It is the truth,” Luis Cavani told Ovacion Digital. “This is his career and about business, though. If he does leave Italy, then I think his future will be in Spain.” Cavani himself, however, was not in a speculative mood and instead preferred to look ahead to the summer, with the Confederations Cup in mid-June to look forward to. “During my career people have linked me with numerous clubs, but until there is a signature nothing is for sure,” he said. “Right now my only thought is for Napoli. I want to have a few days off before going on international duty. I want to continue working and improving, as in life one must always keep learning new things.” Cavani’s goals helped to propel the Partenopei to second place in Serie A this season, securing a group stage spot in the 2013-14 Champions League.
