Brazil midfielder Paulinho says he would relish the chance to play for Inter Milan amid reports his agent is trying to secure him a move to Europe.
The 24-year-old, who netted the equaliser for Brazil against England on Sunday, currently plays for Brasileirao outfit Corinthians.
Roma, PSG, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Shakhtar have all been linked with a move for the midfielder, who was part of the Corinthians team that beat Chelsea in the World Club Cup final in December.
When quizzed about reported interest from Inter Milan, Paulinho revealed he would jump at the chance to play at the San Siro.
"I said and I repeat: I would go for sure to Inter. They are a club known all over the world," he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "There played Ronaldo, Julio Cesar, Lucio, Maicon. Who would not want to wear that shirt?
"The fact that Inter would not participate in the next Champions League is not a problem, because they surely will want to take revenge.
"But if Inter want me they have to come forward with a right offer. I'm not a kid. I'm fine in Brazil, I play in a strong side like Corinthians and I'm one of the Selecao's regular eleven. I must have the right motivations to leave all that."
Corinthians' director of football Edu Gaspar confirmed the player's agent is in Europe discussing potential deals and says the club are willing to sell him if he no longer wants to play at Estadio do Pacaembu.
"We know [Paulinho's agent] Giuliano Bertolucci is in Europe, but we don't know what exactly he is doing, nothing official has come to us," he told Bandeirantes. "If the player wants to move, it's pointless to keep him, to have an unhappy player."
Clayton sees his current deal expire next summer but unless the Alex can persuade the 18-year-old to pen fresh terms then they may be forced to offload him before that to prevent the possibility of losing out financially at a compensation tribunal.
Clayton rejected on offer during last season but a hopeful Davis will look to this week reopen contract talks with the England Under-19 international, who has been linked with several Premier League and Championship suitors.
"I will speak with Max's agent this week and see how it goes. Max knows my opinion on the matter and that I think his future is here with us," Davis told Crewe's official website.
"We offered him a contract extension at Christmas time and he rejected that so we will have to see if that has changed. I think he would benefit from having another year playing for us at this level.
"He was just beginning to adjust to this league and what it entails. He was playing well towards the end of the season and recently scored for England.
"Players develop at different times and perhaps he sees Nick (Powell) going on (to Manchester United) and doing what he has done but you have to be patient. He needs another year or so with us. In my opinion he is not ready.
"If Max plays well in our team and scores goals then any move would take care of itself."
Chelsea ended Mourinho's six-year exile in Italy and Spain on Monday when they reappointed him manager and he will be officially unveiled at a press conference at Stamford Bridge next Monday.
While the Portuguese's first reign ended in acrimony after his relationship with owner Roman Abramovich soured, his arrival heralded the start of the most successful period in the club's history.
The summit of his achievements were Premier League crowns in 2005 and 2006, and his track record of domestic success - he has also won championships in Portugal, Italy and Spain - have raised expectations he will break the three-year duopoly of Manchester United and City.
But Mourinho believes that although no English team progressed to the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League for the first time since 1996, club football in this country remains highly competitive.
"The Champions League is a thermometer of world football and English football was out of the competition too early," he told Chelsea TV.
"People were speaking about the level of the Premier League going down compared with other countries, but I don't believe that. Sometimes things happen when there are no reasons.
"But the Premier League is still a fantastic competition and I believe five or six teams are very strong.
"When I was here before it was more about us, Man United and Arsenal and after that there was a gap to the other teams.
"Now you can put five or six teams in the same plan, aiming to reach the Champions League spots which is very difficult, with those with more ambition aiming to win the Premier League.
"The competition will be fantastic and I hope I can beat the other clubs."
Chelsea fans will expect Mourinho's return to be accompanied by a spending spree as Abramovich arms his manager with the funds to reclaim a title they last won in 2010 when Carlo Ancelotti was at the helm.
Forward reinforcements top the shopping list, with Andre Schurrle of Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester City's Edin Dzeko and Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic reported to be on Mourinho's radar.
But the 50-year-old insists that drawing the best from his existing squad will be his most pressing concern and refuses to prioritise any silverware.
"We have to improve the team, but when I say improve the team people are already thinking about how many millions Chelsea will spend. When I say improve the team, I mean through work," he said,
"My work has to improve players and improve the team. If I don't do that I am not happy with myself.
"If after that we can improve the team by buying a couple of players it is fantastic, but I have to improve the team and the players with my work.
"The priority is to improve. In the last two years we have struggled in the Premier League.
"If Chelsea didn't win the Champions League then the club wouldn't have been in the competition this year. This year we had to fight until the last match to qualify.
"We must improve individually, improve collectively and improve the structure of the club around the football team, and try to win the next match.
"Which one is the next match? The Premier League? Let's go for the Premier League. If the next match is the FA Cup, let's go for the FA Cup.
"It's difficult for me to say something is the priority. The priority is to work hard, work professionally and make the team better."
The grey hair that now covers Mourinho's scalp was not evident during his first spell in west London between 2004 and 2007, but he insists his capacity for hard work remains intact.
"I don't need a holiday, instead I'm sorry we don't start training tomorrow," he said.
"Victory makes miracles - when you win you are never tired. Happiness is much stronger than tiredness. Players need holidays, I don't.
"When we start the players will meet someone with great motivation. In spite of my white hairs, which I didn't have in 2004, I'm still very strong at work."
Arnold, 49, who steered Central Coast Mariners to the A-League title last season, called the Blades "pre-historic" after claiming he had turned down an approach for the vacant manager's position at Bramall Lane.
The former Australia coach told The Australian newspaper that he had been interviewed for the Blades job via a video call and had no hesitation in turning the job down.
Winter, who returned for a second spell as chief executive at Bramall Lane last month, told the club's official website: "While Graham Arnold may have been responding to one or two challenging questions, I'm flabbergasted and disappointed by his remarks, which are unprofessional, clearly misinformed and not the actual position of the club.
"Key information about how the club is structured and how it plans to operate has been clearly missed.
"We set out a clear manager profile to meet the future needs of the club to 'act differently' in terms of player recruitment and continue the utilisation of home-grown talent where the club has been incredibly successful in recent years."
Winter added that the Blades, who sacked former boss Danny Wilson with five games of the regular season remaining and replaced him with coach Chris Morgan, were still holding interviews and would soon be in a position to choose from a short-list.
"We have still got some more interviews and will then look to appoint from the strong line-up of candidates," he added.
Port Vale coach Robert Page, a former Blades defender, ex-Blackpool and Portsmouth boss Michael Appleton and Wally Downes are all reported to be still in the frame.
Del Nido claims the club are under no pressure to sell after agreeing a deal to send Jesus Navas to Manchester City.
Sevilla announced on Monday night they had agreed a fee, reportedly worth up to ?24million (28million euros), with City for winger Navas, who is yet to complete the move as he is on international duty with Spain ahead of the Confederations Cup.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Del Nido said the Navas sale was beneficial to all parties as Sevilla look to rebuild after a season he branded a "failure", but insisted he wanted the in-demand Negredo to remain at the club.
"He has four years left on his contract," Del Nido said of the 27-year-old striker, who scored 31 goals in all competitions this past season.
"He is at home here. He has scored a lot of goals and delighted us with his football.
"The summer will tell us in due course if he will still be with us, but if you ask my opinion I'd rather there were no bids. West Ham offered 17million (?14.5million) in cash with more in incentives but we do not value the offer and the player refused."
In contrast, it seems City more than met Del Nido's expectations in terms of an offer for their 27-year-old winger Navas.
"I think this is a great deal for both parties," he said. "They player had said personally to us and then publicly to the media that he wanted to leave. He believed his time in Sevilla was over having contributed all that he could.
"The price at which we have sold Jesus Navas is an amount much higher than we thought they were going to offer, especially as there was only one bidder."
With that transfer fee swelling the club's coffers, only similar high bids now seem likely to persuade Del Nido to part with others.
"We do not yet know the final figure (for Navas) as there are many variables and incentives in the deal," he said.
"But we have no need to sell as this has covered our budget deficit.
"In the past we have been willing to sell a player if the market value is offered, but so far all the offers that have come in have been rejected."
Sevilla's 4-3 win over Valencia on the final day of the season saw them finish ninth, taking the final Europa League spot subject to appeals from Malaga and Rayo Vallecano against bans which will prevent them from taking up European places.
However, Del Nido was still blunt in his assessment of their campaign.
"Let us make a distinction," he said. "In the (Copa del Rey) we had a remarkable run and reached the semi-finals before being felled by the ultimate winners.
"But in the regular season, the most important competition, we went backwards. You have to consider that we finished only ninth despite having the fifth or sixth biggest budget, and this indicates the goal has not been met."
