Hot Football Transfer Gossip: Neymar, Suarez, Sturridge, Mourinho

We are still in the post-Transfer Window period which is tricky for all those involved - from the players, agents, clubs, fans and gossip writers - but that hasn't stopped them trying their darnest.

Pep Guardiola has gone from signing no Barcelona players, to wanting to sign Barcelona players, all in the space of two days if the latest rumours are to be believed.

The Mail on Sunday report that the incoming Manchester City boss wants to sign Barca's Neymar and Sergio Busquets in a £150m double swoop. So no Lionel Messi then. Maybe the Mail are saving that 'exclusive' for next week.

Meanwhile, the Sunday Mirror say that Guardiola wants to make serial biter and racist and ex-Liverpool striker Luis Suarez his no.1 target this summer - but the Uruguayan is a goal machine so is likely to be forgiven by the Sky Blue side of Manchester's football fans.

And according to the Independent, the other half of Manchester will be managed by none other than Jose Mourinho himself, who is "confident" he will be in the Old Trafford hotseat next season.

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is also considering his future at Anfield, despite the claims being laughed off by his boss Jurgen Klopp on Friday.

But that hasn't deterred the Daily Star who report Newcastle are willing to continue their spending spree by shelling out £30m for him. They may find it tough though - the Sunday People say the injury-prone striker wants a move back to London.

The Chinese Super League is continuing its assault on Europe's best leagues by throwing lots of cold hard cash in players' faces. The latest to be linked is Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal target Ezequiel Lavezzi (Sun), while ex-Arsenal and United star Robin van Persie and Chelsea loan dud Radamel Falcao are also targets this month (Times).

Are the latest in the Saido Berahinho will he or won't he saga, is that Tottenham and West Brom have reached an agreement where Spurs will have first refusal on signing the wantaway striker, also according to the Sunday People.
