Latest rumors from Premier League suggest that Wayne Rooney is not happy at Manchester United. This is due to the fact that he was not used so regularly as before.

Rooney was on the bench also in the crucial game against Real Madrid and came in only in the second half at 2 – 1 for Real. Others suggest that there was a rift between him and Sir Ales Ferguson as the player is not feeling so important after Van Persie’s arrival. Rooney was close to leave United also when Ronaldo was sold but was convinced to stay and signed a new deal.

Now with this news there are a few interested teams in signing him. Manchester City and PSG are two of them but the transfer to this teams has small chances of succeeding. Mancini declared that he would want Rooney at City but with the rivalry between the clubs is hard to believe that Rooney will join City.

Lately Bayern have entered into the race, as Guardiola is an admirer of the England international. €22 millions might be enough to take him from Manchester.

Latest news from Serie A suggest that Juventus are ready to bid for Angelo Ogbonna from Torino. Ogbonna recent performances have not passed unnoticed. Juventus and Bayern are interested in signing the 24 years old defender.

Juventus would like to make the deal before the end of the season in order to avoid competition from other clubs after the bad experience they had with Marco Verratti when he chose PSG in their favor.

Torino chief has admitted that Ogbonna might leave Torino in the summer. They put a €19 millions price tag on the player but Juventus are hoping to secure the deal for only €14 millions.

Ogbonna will not have his place in the starting lineup guaranteed. Juventus back line is one of the best in Europe but the substitutes are not at the same level with the starters.

The young defender has five appearances for Italy and a bright future ahead.

Diego Simeone declared recently that he will be the Inter coach at a time. This came as a result to the latest rumors from Italy press that Massimo Moratti already contacted Simeone to replace Andrea Stramaccioni.

Inter had three consecutive games in which they failed to win, two draws with Roma and Torino and than a lost against Siena which destroyed their chances for Serie A. Even worse they could miss Champions League as they are currently fourth in the standing, one point behind 3rd place occupied by Lazio wich would give them a chance of playing in Champions League.

Inter won the last night game against CFR Cluj 2-0 and they have good chances of qualifying to the next round. If that would not happen then Moratti will probably sack Stramaccioni.

The Italian coach took charge at Inter approximately one year ago in a disastrous period for Inter and helped the club to finish on six at the end of the season. Stramaccioni is one of the youngster managers in Europe.

Simeone pleyed at Inter between 1997 and 2001 and won the Europa league in his first season. Last year he won it also as a coach with his current team Atletico Madrid.
