I have heard in Mexico that there is a type of interest from Liverpool but I have to let things happen.

Ernesto Valverde passed up the opportunity to berate referee Javier Alberola Rojas after two penalty decisions went against Barcelona in their 2-2 draw at Real Sociedad.
Barca were denied three points in the Basque Country on Saturday, having been outplayed for long periods by a Sociedad side for whom Real Madrid loanee Martin Odegaard impressed.

Barcelona s frustrations were heightened by the fact Sociedad had taken the lead from a spot-kick of their own after 12 minutes, when Sergio Busquets was penalised for tugging Llorente s shirt in circumstances not dissimilar to those�…
Newcastle United would benefit from a change of manager in the close-season as opposed to sticking with John Carver, according to former defender Robbie Elliott.
Carver was appointed until the end of the season in January after former boss Alan Pardew left for Crystal Palace.
But with Newcastle stuttering towards the end of another mid-table campaign, Elliott has urged owner Mike Ashley to bring a fresh face into the dugout.
I think it s easier for Ashley to keep John in the role but I don t know if that s the right thing for the club, Elliott told Perform.
I feel we need a clean break and it s a very difficult role. Look at the managers we ve had over the years how successful they have been at other clubs, then they come to Newcastle.

Market: Arsenal to win against Liverpool
Odds:
Arsenal welcome Liverpool to the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League this afternoon, and are favourites to come out on top against the Merseysiders to potentially finish the weekend top of the table.
Arsenal finished second in the Premier League last season with 71 points from 38 games, suffering just three defeats on home soil.

The visitors finished eighth in the Premier League in 2015/16 with 60 points, suffering seven defeats on the road. Jurgen Klopp’s men are being tipped for a br…
Russia international midfielder Andrei Arshavin of Zenit St Petersburg has joined Arsenal till June 2012 for 12 million pounds (13.3 million euros), sources at the Premier League club said on Monday.
The Gunners are now merely waiting on the Premier League to sign all the necessary paperwork for the deal to be made official.

Conflicting signals had been emerging from Arsenal s Emirates stadium and Russia throughout the day as the 1700GMT deadline came and went and a Zenit club spokesman had even said the deal had fallen through.
The deal apparently hit a last minute snag when Zenit demanded a portio…

Jamie Carragher says Liverpool s 2-1 defeat to Manchester United is a big worry as the Reds winless start to the Premier League season stretched to a third match.
A 16th-minute goal from Jadon Sancho put United into an early lead before Marcus Rashford added a second eight minutes into the second half.
