Chelsea tried to sign Ter Stegen from Barcelona

Chelsea now have the likes of Edouard Mendy, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and veteran Willy Caballero as goalkeepers who will battle for a regular place between the sticks this season.

Tardelli disappointed with Chiellini’s remarks about Melo and Balotelli

Marco Tardelli has not hidden his disappointment with Giorgio Chiellini after his harsh comments about Felipe Melo and Mario Balotelli.

Since then, both players have responded to Chiellini's criticisms.

Juventus are yet to receive any concrete offers for the player and his agent Beppe Bozzo ha...
