Chelsea again linked with Spain star amid reports of Barca talks

Former Manchester United defender Gerard Pique, recently linked with a move to Chelsea, will discuss his future with Barcelona after the international break, the Mirror say.

The Spain international is reported to have fallen out with boss Luis Enrique and the Mirror say Chelsea are monitoring the situation. United, meanwhile, are apparently keen to re-sign him.

It is has been reported that Enrique would be happy to sell Pique, 25, but that Barca chiefs want him to stay.

The Express claim Chelsea are looking to offload Andre Schurrle to Borussia Dortmund in an exchange deal involving Marco Reus.

A number of other Premier League clubs are said to be interested in Reus, 25, including Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.

He is reported to have a clause in his contract enabling him to leave for £20m at the end of the season, but it is claimed that Chelsea are not only interested but want to sign him in January.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho is expected to offer Schurrle in a straight swap, the Express say.

And there continues to be speculation over the future of highly-rated Fulham youngster Patrick Roberts.

The Mirror say Liverpool are stepping up their interest in the teenager and are looking to beat Chelsea as well as Arsenal to his signing.

Liverpool are said to have watched Roberts three times this season and be willing to loan him back to Fulham if they secure his transfer.
