I haven't heard anything like that before.
I wouldn't have expected him to be ready for next season. Physically he looks a way off yet.

Anfield side ready to replace one Uruguyan goal machine with another.
Check in to Uruguay vs Costa Rica
Liverpool are preparing the ground for a potential club record £60m bid for PSG forward Edinson Cavani as Brendan Rodgers plans for the worst if the fails to retain the services of prized asset Luis Suarez.
CaughtOffside understands that whilst the Anfield side are confident of keeping hold of 27 year old Uruguayan Suarez they are keeping their options open should the striker look to force a move to Real Madrid this summer.

Suarez only recently signed a lucrative new contract that makes him the highest paid player in Liverpool’s history and though the former Ajax man appears happy to remain at the Merseyside club there is a fear that he could be tempted by a move the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has made Suarez his number one transfer priority and could well be ready to stump up another world record transfer fee with the Spanish giants having spent £85m to sign Welsh winger Gareth Bale and if such an offer was made and the Premier League ace demanded a move then Liverpool would have little choice other than to accept.
Liverpool are then ready to appease concerns of potentially frustrated supporters by turning to Cavani to fill the void.
Cavani is known to be unsettled at the Parc des Princes, unhappy at being used in a wide role as well as playing second fiddle to Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and could well be open to a move to the Premier League where his physical presence could well make him an ideal centre-forward purchase.
Prior to his move to the French capital Cavani netted an impressive 104 goals in three seasons with Napoli and has racked up 25 goals in all competitions this term.
PSG paid £52m to bring in Cavani last July but the Ligue 1 side may well jump at the chance of making an instant profit on their investment given the circumstance, Laurent Blanc would then not only have funds to re-invest in further additions but in bringing in £60m they could also be better placed to adhere to UEFA’s FFP (Financial Fair Play) guidelines.

Like.
caughtoffside with another world exclusive! I'm excited....
That Cavani rumour is just so shockingly bad, I had to post this to prevent the thread from crashing.
Now that order in the universe is restored, let's have some proper rumours.
LUIS SUAREZ has claimed he is committed to Liverpool and denied his contract includes a clause that gives Real Madrid and Barcelona priority to bid for him.
The Liverpool manager will weed out the weak by sanctioning a significant number of departures in order to restore a balance between quality and quantity among his playing staffs. Daniel Agger and Lucas Leiva could be among the more high-profile players who leave having both fallen out of favour at times during last season.
Many of those signed last summer are also vulnerable with Luis Alberto and Iago Aspas set to return to Spain, Kolo Toure seeking reassurance over how often he will play and options on loan deals for Aly Cissokho and Victor Moses not taken up.
Goalkeeper Pepe Reina, who spent the season at Napoli, can move and Martin Kelly, who has rarely featured, is another whose situation will be looked.
Meanwhile, Luis Suarez has said he is committed to Liverpool.
"Everyone knows there will be speculation this summer as there always is, but I have a contract with Liverpool," he said.
"I just turn the page. I know what I want and it is more speculation than reality."

[article]French newspaper L’Equipe reports today that Manchester City are close to signing Roma defender Mehdi Benatia.
The new Premier League champions are thought to have gone ahead in the race for Benatia, who was one of Roma’s outstanding players in 2013/2014,
Benatia joined Roma from Udinese last summer and his excellent defensive performances in Serie A have ensured a whole host of big clubs are chasing the 27-year-old.
L’Equipe suggest that Manchester City have moved ahead in the race for Benatia, with the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester United all tracking developments.[/article]

Is it fuck. It's Eva Green and that's the end of it. Back to transfer business.

Brendan Rodgers is expected to oversee a mass exodus of players from Liverpool as he attempts to put together a squad capable of challenging in both the Barclays Premier League and Champions League next season.
The future of as many as 15 Liverpool players is in doubt and although the manager will not allow that many to leave in a single transfer window, he is prepared to sanction the departures of a significant number, having prioritised quality over quantity.
The player that Liverpool remain most loath to lose is Luis Suárez and the forward has provided further cause for hope that he will not leave this summer by denying that his contract contains a clause that can be exploited only by Real Madrid or Barcelona.
“As far as I’m aware there is no clause that suggests a priority for any team,” said Suárez, who is understood to have enrolled his daughter, Delfina, at a Merseyside school for the start of the new academic year in September.
“My head is focused on the World Cup,” he said. “Everyone knows there will be media speculation, as there always is, but I have a contract with Liverpool.”
Rodgers has acknowledged that Liverpool cannot afford to “go into the Champions League with doubts about players”. That admission will shape his transfer strategy, while the implications of Financial Fair Play also mean that the club are conscious of the negative effect a squad containing several players who are not competing for a starting place can have on the wage bill.
The most high-profile victims of the cull are likely to be Daniel Agger and Lucas Leiva, both of whom have fallen out of favour. Rodgers is in the market for a dominant centre back and a young holding midfielder to support Steven Gerrard, with the likelihood that both Agger and Lucas will be sold if significant offers are received.
As many as five of the eight players Liverpool signed last summer will be allowed to leave. The loan deals that took Aly Cissokho and Victor Moses to Anfield will not be turned into permanent moves, Luis Alberto and Iago Aspas are expected to return to Spain after failing to make an impact and Kolo Touré is seeking assurances about the playing time he will get.
Of the eight, only Simon Mignolet, Mamadou Sakho and Tiago Ilori will definitely be retained and Rodgers believes that the last of those, Ilori, a 21-year-old centre back, would benefit from spending next season on loan after joining Granada on a temporary basis in January.
Rodgers has already called time on Pepe Reina’s Liverpool career and the goalkeeper is expected to leave the club for good after spending last season on loan with Napoli.
Fabio Borini and Suso have enjoyed successful loan spells with Sunderland and Almería respectively but neither is guaranteed to reclaim a place in the Liverpool squad, while Oussama Assaidi will be allowed to join Stoke City if a fee can be agreed.
Jack Robinson and Conor Coady, who spent last season on loan at Blackpool and Sheffield United respectively, are not thought to have long-term futures at Anfield and are expected to be sold, while Sebastián Coates will move on once he has recovered fully from the knee ligament injury that prevented him playing at all during the season.

If he wants to stay then i wouldn't sell him for ANY value as you can't buy what he brings to the team. But if he wants to go to Real then we should demand £50m plus Isco and Di Maria.
Agree. AND she's a Red.
So's samuel l jackson but i wouldnt let him give me a foot massage
I don't think you would have any say in the matter.
If Samuel L Jackson wants to rub your feet he will fucking rub your feet
We're still recovering from the last time we got Cole on a free.
A few more players linked to us from various sources via Twitter:
Emre Can, 20 year old DM for Bayer Leverkusen.
Jonathan Tah, 18 year old CB for Hamburg. Both linked in the German press, BR was apparently at the recent game between the 2 clubs.
Dani Parejo, 25 year old CM. Linked in Spain, been picked up by the British press as well.

Because of FM? Or you've watched him?
parejo was not rated by bleacher report - there are probably other younger spanish midfielders who look better.

Well, if the Bleacher Report doesn't rate him.......

Sky Bet
Lille are facing a fight to keep hold of Salomon Kalou this summer, Sky Sports understands.
Kalou has impressed for Lille this season and he has been inspirational in their bid to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
The versatile forward has scored 14 goals and has five assists in Ligue 1 this season and his performances have not gone unnoticed across Europe.
Arsenal are long-term admirers of Kalou and they failed in a bid to sign him on loan during the January transfer window.
The Gunners are thought to be keeping tabs on Kalou's situation, while Premier League rivals Liverpool are also tracking the former Chelsea man.
The likes of Roma, Atletico Madrid, Monaco and Galatasaray are all tracking Kalou as they look to bolster their attacking options next season.
Kalou, who has two years to run on his contract at Lille, is thought to be keen on a move back to the Premier League, but he will not make a decision on his future after the World Cup with Ivory Coast.

The 27-year-old didn’t enjoy a great start to his Liverpool career and was even booed by the home fans. However, he won back the heart of fans with series of strong performances and has been one of the key players for the Reds in the last few years.
Last season has been bit of disappointment for the Brazilian where he struggled to get regular games. Skipper Steven Gerrard has been deployed in the defensive midfield role while The Times reported Lucas could be one of several players, who could be heading the Anfield exit door in the summer.
The Reds had been linked with Porto’s Fernando last season and could go for him again this summer. Any arrival of a new central defensive midfield would surely mark the end of Lucas’ career at Anfield. Inter see this as an opportunity to sign the Brazilian and have already made an approach with the player’s representatives.
According to Sportmediaset, Inter are pondering to lodge an official bid, but Lucas’ high wages could be a problem for them.
Liverpool has slapped an asking price of €13m for Lucas, but Nerazzurri are hopeful of reducing that transfer fee through negotiations in coming weeks.
