Chelsea are ready to make a second £30 million offer to lure Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney to Stamford Bridge. According to the Daily Mail, Blues manager Jose Mourinho remains determined to capture the 27-year-old England international, and despite having an initial offer rejected by the Red Devils, will return with the improved bid. Rooney was left "angry and confused" by recent comments from United manager David Moyes, and with Chelsea willing to match Rooney's £240,000-a-week salary, could be tempted to join Mourinho in London. However, United remain stern in their stance that Rooney is going nowhere.
Another striker edging towards the exit door at his club is Luis Suarez, with the Mirror reporting that Arsenal will make an increased £40 million bid for the Liverpool striker. Currently in Australia for the club's pre-season tour, Suarez is expected to hold final crunch talks with manager Brendan Rodgers over his future with the club. But Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is not waiting for the outcome of those coversations and will come back to the Reds with the improved bid after having an initial bid turned down by Liverpool. But waiting in the wings is Real Madrid, Suarez's club of choice, however they only value Suarez at £25 million. However, Liverpool, like rivals United, are unwilling to let their crown jewel leave the club.
Finally, Tottenham are targeting Lyon striker Lisandro Lopez. The Mirror claims that Spurs will return for the 30-year-old this summer after having a deadline day bid turned down in January. And with only 12 months left on his contract, Lopez's French club know they will need to sell now or risk losing the versatile player for nothing.
