Cavani is looking to leave Napoli?

After a game, Cavani answered to a question from the media asking if he would be at Napoli for the next season, ‘I don’t know – the club has to deal with many kinds of things that will be happened’. He continues ‘to stay or to leave, it’s not yet my option to prefer; the club is the first to decide. However, I will continue to give my all for the team as long as I’m here.

Sounds like he’s not sure about his future at Napoli whereby City and Chelsea have been linked with him.

Claudio Ranieri sacked after poor run

The former Chelsea boss took charge at the San Siro in September, replacing Gian Piero Gasperini, who was dismissed after only five games in charge.

Despite Inter's poor run, president Massimo Moratti said earlier on Monday: "I think that Claudio Ranieri will remain until the end of the season."

Following Sunday's defeat by Juventus, Inter sit eighth in Serie A, 22 points behind their local rivals, who top the table.

They were also knocked out of the Champions League in the last 16 by Marseille earlier this month.

A statement on the club's website said: "President Massimo Moratti and everyone at Inter Milan would like to thank Claudio Ranieri and his staff for their professionalism, dedication and honesty during their time in charge of the team."

"Branca made a €25 million offer in January. However, president Juvencio Juvenal decided not to sell him," Ribeiro told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Milan suffer Ibra blow ahead of Juve clash

AC Milan suffered a blow ahead of Saturday's crunch top-of-table clash against Juventus as Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been ruled out through suspension.
The big Swede was sent off against Napoli on February 5 for slapping Salvatore Aronica and handed a three-game ban.

Milan appealed in the hope of having one match knocked off the ban which would have freed Ibrahimovic to play against Juve.
And the reigning champions reacted with fury when their pleas fell on deaf ears.
"The Federal Justice Court's decision is unjust because they have applied a punishment due for violent acts to an act that wasn't violent," said a Milan statement.
"This is a serious judicial mistake."

Given Ibrahimovic had been sent off for slapping an opponent in the face it may seem strange to some that Milan would appeal his ban on the grounds they deny it was violent conduct.
However, last year they were successful with a similar appeal after Ibrahimovic had thumped Bari's Marco Rossi in the ribs.
He had one game taken off his ban but was then dismissed on his return to action for abusing a linesman.

Now Milan will have to do without their top scorer and star player for what could prove their biggest game of the season.
Milan lead Juve by one point having played a game more.
However, in their previous two games without Ibrahimovic they showed no ill effects, beating Udinese 2-1 and Cesena 3-1.
In fact, a look at last year's statistics showed Milan actually earned more points per game without the target man than they did with him.
This season, on the other hand, they have actually earned more points per game with him in the team, although only just.

Perhaps more worrying than those statistics is the fact that Milan's other strikers are struggling to find the net.

Mourinho not returning to Chelsea or Inter?

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has admitted his love for previous clubs Chelsea and Inter, but intimated his affection for the duo should not be overestimated.

It had emerged that fans of the Blues and the Nerazzurri were heard chanting their one-time trainer's name during their respective matches over the weekend, seemingly longing for a return of their successful former coach.

But speaking after the Blancos' routine 4-0 victory over Racing Santander on Saturday, although the 48-year-old responded positively to the news, he hinted that a second spell at either club was not presently in his thoughts.

"I have much love for Chelsea and Inter," said Mourinho. "[However], I prefer to support these teams and hear the fans sing my name."

Mourinho then took the time out to clarify a report in one Madrid-based newspaper, which took a swipe at the former Porto man for his reluctance in selecting Cantera players, namely defender Daniel Carvajal.

However, after it was then revealed that Carvajal was actually suspended from participating on Saturday, he proceeded to indirectly attack the publication, labeling its report as a form of "disastrous" journalism.

"When we do our job, coaches are still criticized. When you're wrong you must also be criticized," he continued. "So you cannot ask for a player, who is suspended, to play. The present quality of journalism is disastrous."

Real Madrid has moved provisionally 13 points clear of archrival Barcelona at the Liga summit.
