Hangeland & Schwarzer set to agree new Fulham deals

Fulham stars Brede Hangeland and Mark Schwarzer are close to agreeing new contracts with the club, Goal.com understands.

The key pair are both out of contract in the summer but have held fresh talks with the west London outfit in recent weeks.
Hangeland, 31, is expected to commit for at least two more years, while Schwarzer, 40, is set to sign a 12-month extension.
The futures of the experienced pair have been in doubt this year after Hangeland was targeted by QPR in January and Fulham failed in a bid to sign Roma goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg on loan on deadline day.
However, Fulham recognise how important the club captain and goalkeeper have been to their success during the Roy Hodgson, Mark Hughes and Martin Jol regimes and do not want to lose them.
The Londoners, who lie 10th in the Premier League table following Sunday’s win at Tottenham, are increasingly confident the club captain and goalkeeper will follow Damien Duff and Philippe Senderos, who both signed year-long contract extensions last month, in penning new deals.
As revealed by Goal.com, Fulham rebuffed an approach from QPR for Hangeland in January. The Norway international is settled at Craven Cottage and wants to commit to the extended terms, which would bring him in line with top earners Schwarzer and Dimitar Berbatov.
Manager Martin Jol has said he is “optimistic” that Hangeland will take up the “good” offer from the club.
Schwarzer, who turns 41 in October, might have to accept a downgrade in status next season if, as expected, Fulham move for a younger ‘keeper in the summer.
The Londoners bid for Stoke City new boy Jack Butland in January in addition to their failed swoop for Stekelenburg.

Sneijder is undisputed Netherlands captain, says Kuyt

Dirk Kuyt has insisted Wesley Sneijder remains Netherlands' undisputed skipper following the attacking midfielder's return to the Oranje squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Estonia and Romania.

Sneijder has not featured for Holland since the 4-1 win over Hungary on September 11 last year, with Kuyt and Kevin Strootman wearing the captain's armband during his absence.

Nevertheless, the Fenerbahce attacker has made it clear there is no doubt about Sneijder's position as first-choice skipper.

"Sneijder is our undisputed captain. I'm deputy skipper and Kevin Strootman is the third man in line," Kuyt told Goal.com.

"Wesley has not been part of the team for a while, but he's back again now. Everybody can expect Wes to be wearing the armband in the months to come. The captain always plays, unless he's injured.

"He's a great player and personifies Dutch football. It's a shame that his time at Inter came to such an end, but he continues to be a fantastic player.

"We don't even have to discuss his football qualities. He's very valuable for the team both on and off the pitch.

"He's a real leader with a lot of experience, and has played at several major tournaments. He leads younger players the way and is very committed."

Sneijder has made 90 international appearances so far for Oranje, scoring 24 goals in the process.

Chelsea & Manchester City target Falcao wants to become Premier League's top earner

Chelsea & Manchester City have been told they will have to make Radamel Falcao the highest paid player in the country if they want to sign the striker from Atletico Madrid this summer.

Falcao’s representatives have indicated the 27-year-old would demand a wage package worth at least £250,000-a-week after holding informal talks with the two Premier League sides as well as big-spending Paris Saint-Germain.

FALCAO'S SEASON SO FAR

Real Madrid are also understood to be interested in the Colombian but Atletico are unlikely to sell their star player to their city rivals, even though his agent Jorge Mendes also represents Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Goal.com revealed in November that Chelsea had hoped to activate the £51.7m (€60m) release clause in Falcao's contract during the January transfer window, but the player opted to stay in the Spanish capital until the end of the season.

Chelsea were confident of pushing through a summer deal but face a challenge to qualify for next season’s Champions League while Falcao is happy to take his time before making a decision. The player has become a personal target of Blues owner Roman Abramovich with £50m Fernando Torres continuing to flounder at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues are understood to have indicated they will meet Falcao's demands but will face competition from City if the Premier League champions offload Edin Dzeko or Carloz Tevez in the summer transfer window.

"Falcao's people know they have all of the big fish on the hook ahead of the summer and are looking to take advantage of it," a source told Goal.com.

Manchester United duo Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney are currently the highest paid players in the Premier League on deals, including image rights, worth around £250,000-a-week.

Falcao, who is learning English, has been in stunning form ever since moving to Europe to sign for Porto from River Plate in 2009.

He moved to Atleti for £34.7m in 2011 and has scored 63 goals in 80 appearances for the club, including 27 goals so far this season.

Roma priced out of move for Mancini

Roberto Mancini is set to price himself out of a move to Roma as the Serie A club make Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri their No1 summer target.

Roma are believed to have been put off by Mancini's €5 million-a-year (£4.3m) salary demands following indications they could tempt Allegri to the Italian capital for around half of that figure.

Allegri's position at the San Siro is in doubt beyond this season, with Milan legend and former Italy manager Roberto Donadoni, who is currently in charge at Parma, the favourite to replace him.

Roma are expected to dispense with the services of interim boss Andrea Andreazzoli in the summer unless he steers the club to an unlikely Champions League place. The Giallorossi lie fifth in Serie A, seven points behind third-placed Milan.
Roma's American owners have tasked general manager Franco Baldini and sporting director Walter Sabatini with recruiting a proven manager who can spark a change in fortunes at the Olympic Stadium.
The club are preparing to appoint their fourth manager in two years following the short-lived regimes of Luis Enrique and Zdenek Zeman, who was fired in February.
Mancini is among the managers who have been considered for the post as doubts continue to surround his future at Manchester City following a disappointing defence of their Premier League title.
The former Lazio and Inter Milan boss, who is in the first season of a five-year contract at Etihad Stadium, is believed to want around €5m-a-year to take over at Roma, a salary that is beyond the club.
Goal.com understands that Sabatini and Baldini have made third-party contact with Allegri and are increasingly confident of striking a deal with the 45-year-old. Roma are prepared to offer a €2.5m-a-year (£2.14m) salary to tempt Allegri to the Italian capital.
Although Allegri's Milan contract runs for another 15 months, club president Silvio Berlusconi is considering a change of manager at the end of the season.
Berlusconi wants to appoint a former Milan player who is well acquainted with the club environment and his top target is Donadoni.
The 49-year-old is contracted to Parma until 2015 but the club are steeling themselves for an approach from Milan.

Manchester United defender Vidic: International break is good for me

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic says that the international break comes at a good time for him, and that he will be working hard to improve while others are representing their countries.

The defender retired from international football after Serbia failed to qualify for Euro 2012 and as a result will train with a small number of non-internationals at Carrington over the next two weeks.

But the 31-year-old is looking forward to the quiet period because he can work on his game on the training ground without having to worry about preparing his body for matches.

"The international break is good for me," he told MUTV. "During the 10 days, I can work on my individual stuff like fitness and other technical things.

"It is also always good to have a few days for yourself. When you have lots of games, like we have recently, you just manage yourself until the next one and you don't work on yourself that much.

"Sometimes it is nice to have these days to work on yourself."

Vidic struggled with injury in the early part of the season but has since made a successful return to Sir Alex Ferguson's side, making 18 appearances in all competitions so far this term

Szczesny vows to save Arsenal career: I am too happy to leave

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has pledged his loyalty to the club, insisting that he will stay with them for as long as he is wanted.

The Poland international has not featured in the Gunners' last two games, in which Lukasz Fabianski has impressed with two clean sheets against Bayern Munich and Swansea City.

But Szczesny declared to reporters: "I am too happy to go somewhere else. I believe in the philosophy of the club and that Arsenal will start to win again.

"I have a debt to pay here for the club; I owe them. I just do not want to go anywhere else.

"As long as they want me here, there is no 'somewhere else'. I have a contract until June 2015."

Arsenal are set to finish the campaign without a trophy for an eighth consecutive year and are in danger of not qualifying for the Champions League for the first time since 1996-97.

When asked about his side's poor performances this campaign and the battle for a top-four finish that faces them, Szczesny was candid in his response, lamenting: "It is halfway through March and we have lost everything.

"There are still 10 matches left to save the club against the humiliation of all times.

"It would be a disaster not to be in the top four and without the Champions League next year.

"We have the 10 most important games in our careers. We are going through the most difficult time since I came here."

Ibrahimovic comments misunderstood, says Lucas

The Paris Saint-Germain forward has insisted that he gets on well with the Swedish star, despite admitting he is often abusive to team-mates

Lucas Moura has claimed his comments slamming the personality of Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s were taken out of context.

The youngster had been quoted as saying that the Swede regularly insults his colleagues, but has now moved to emphasise his respect for the former AC Milan man.

"I gave an interview over the phone yesterday and ended up being misunderstood about what I said about Ibra," he told Globoesporte.

"I talked to [them] about how Ibra yells a lot, complains, curses ... but these are normal things for a striker, because everyone wants to win and score goals.

"It's his way, but he is a great player and is very important for the team. He treats me very well, he plays with me and talks with me. We get along very well."

Jose Mourinho: We need to win first Galatasaray game

The Real Madrid boss is expecting a tough encounter with the Turkish champions but is determined to win the first leg

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has told his side that they must win the first leg of their upcoming Champions League quarter-final with Galatasaray.

The Spanish champions drew their home encounter with Manchester United in the last 16, forcing them to win at Old Trafford, and the Portuguese is determined not to have to do the same thing again.

"The draw is not something to get nervous about because there is not much to choose between the teams," he told the club's official website.

"It will be tough but we need to try to get something positive from the first match, something we didn't manage against Manchester United. We have to make sure we go there with a small advantage."

Mourinho went on to warn his side not to rest on their laurels after their win against Manchester United and to make the last four of the competition.

"It was a great win, but Real Madrid can never be happy with getting to the quarter-finals and we always have to look to go further. That’s why we are already thinking about making it to the semi-finals."

Madrid and Galatasaray clash in Spain on April 3 before meeting in Istanbul on April 9.

Lucas: I am close to my best level for Liverpool

Lucas believes he is finally rediscovering his best form for Liverpool after a succession of injury problems.

The Brazilian matured into a key figure at Anfield following the departures of Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano, but saw his campaign cut short last season by an anterior cruciate ligament injury picked up in December 2011.

His return was further hampered by a torn thigh muscle in August - but since returning to the side in December he has been ever-present, and now he believes the stellar performances of old are returning.

I am not there yet but I feel I am getting very close to my best level," he told the Daily Mail. "It feels like a good time again. I was sure if I worked hard, I could make it happen.  I’m very happy it has.

"After Pepe [Reina] and Daniel [Agger], I have been the longest here. [Jamie] Carragher and Stevie [Gerrard], of course, are out on their own but each season you are here, your responsibility grows.

"I am not a kid anymore. I have responsibilities and to be a role model for these kids is something that makes me really proud. 

"It has been an amazing experience. All the work I have put in behind the scenes is beginning to show through."

Lucas endured a rough ride from Liverpool fans at the start of his career in England, and freely admits it took him considerable time and effort to adapt to life far from home.

"It was very hard," he added. "At first I couldn’t speak the language, I didn’t have many friends and family was not here.

"It was a struggle to get to know people and I found it difficult getting involved in the day-to-day things that went on at the club.

"Yes, the food was different and the city was new but I lead a quiet life and those aspects were not too much of a problem. I just felt that if I could handle it all, I’d get there.

"I needed to be mentally strong otherwise it would have been tough."

Lampard: MLS move would not end my England career

Frank Lampard insists a summer move to MLS would not necessarily spell the end of his England career.

Lampard has yet to agree an extension to his current Chelsea contract, which expires this summer, and the  LA Galaxy have been widely touted as the likeliest destination should he decide to move on.
 Following the Three Lions' 2-1 win over Brazil last month, boss Roy Hodgson admitted it would "complicate things" if Lampard moved across the Atlantic, but the 34-year-old is convinced his international career could continue.

“England will always be a big part of any decision I make," he told reporters. “While I’m available for England - and I certainly am now and in the future - I want to do my best to try to put myself in the squad. I don’t think it rules out anything, including America.

"I haven’t had the conversation with the manager about it. I’ve seen players get picked before, playing all over the world. If there’s ever a time, whenever it is, where there’s an option of going outside Europe, I’m sure me and Roy would have the conversation about that."

The midfielder also admitted that he would like to play a part in England's squad in Brazil if he continues to play well.

“I wouldn’t set my sights past Brazil, but if I’m playing and in good enough form, I’d like to be included," he said.

"I’ll always try to give my all and try to show my form. If that gets me in there, I’ll be quite happy.”

Lampard has been capped 94 times by England, and admits he is driven on by the prospect of joining teammate Ashley Cole and Liverpool star Steven Gerrard among England's group of centurions.

“I won’t lie to you, I watched Steven and Ashley do it, deservedly so, and reach 100 caps and it’s a fantastic achievement," he added. “I grew up on tales of Bobby Moore from my dad. He’s the ultimate England player. So, if I could get into the bracket of 100 caps, I’d be very proud.

“I sometimes look at the scoring list as well. I remember looking at the list a few years back and seeing David Platt and Bryan Robson, people I really respect, and the caps and goal record they had. Now I have crept up on them and thought about it, so I’m pleased to be amongst those names. I’ll try and get there.”
