Just hours before the January deadline expires, Italian media reported that Chelsea is ready to sell English defender Gary Cahill, to the Italian champion Juventus.

Chelsea has offered Juventus to Cahill and Italian leaders consider the English as a temporary solution after selling Medhi Benatias and Leonardo Bonucci’s injury.

Even the English newspaper, The Evening Standard, confirmed that the Englishman could join Juventus in the form of a loan, if the Italians agree to pay the full salary until the end of the loan.

However, The Evening Standard warns that such a transfer might not even happen, as the 33-year-old’s family does not want to move from home.

Cahill was transferred to Chelsea by Boltoni for 9 million euros on January 16, 2012. As his contract ends this summer, Chelsea is expected to miss it as a free transfer at the end of the season unless contract renewal is reached .

The Englishman has only made one appearances in this Premier League season, under the new coach, Maurizio Sarrin. He has made three appearances in Europe League, where the coach has preferred to cease the players of the first regular formation.

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has insisted that Barcelona never had the mind to surrender from the race to win the King’s Cup, as they managed to secure a place in the semifinals of this race last night.

La Liga leaders defeated Sevilla with a 6-1 result at Camp Nou and won the quarterfinals of the King’s Cup with a total score of 6-3. Philippe Coutinho scored two goals, with a goal scored by Ivan Rakitici, Lionel Messi, Sergi Roberto and Luis Suarez.

Messi played in this match, while in the first game he did not play. Coach Ernesto Valverde had faced criticism that he was underestimating this cup playing with weaker players.

Since the Argentine did not play in the first game, critics suggested that Barcelona was focusing on the Champions League and La Liga, prompted by the statements of Gerard Piques and Valverdes.

“They sais we got out of the title of King’s Cup or said we did not want this. Perhaps even my message, which I gave at the beginning of the season, is misunderstood, “Messi told Barca TV.

“The team wants to fight for three races, because this is Barcelona’s obligation every year. We do not shoot anything “

His first speech after the final match for the Joan Gamper Trophy in summer, his message on Monday before the return match against Sevilla and his gesture with Coutinho strengthened his leadership. And now, Leo warns, “Let’s attack on everything.”

Respecting his instinct to always score Sevilla, to which he recorded 21 goals in 17 games at Camp Nou, Lionel Messi closed the series of goals and Barcelona went to the semifinals of the King’s Cup.

He was not the excellent Messi as he knows to be. He lost the ball more often than any other player in this match, 21 times, and even lost a golden opportunity to score, which he had created himself.

He made a magic pass for Sergi Robertos’ goal for the 4-0 result. Well, that was not the best thing he did this week. Messi – in the role of the captain whom some people questioned whether he would be able to practice, which he took in completely natural, was the first to ignite the return wake to Seville: “Let the people come in Camp Nou, we want to come back. ”

Besides, in the first game in Sevilla there were also other stars: Pique, Alba, Rakitic, Suarez and Coutinho.

But the best detail came to the field. After winning the penalty itself, Messi decided to leave Coutinhos in his hand to shoot him. What could have been a cluttered bomb as if the Brazilian did not score, ended up as a revival of self-confidence for the 26-year-old, who gave the first signs of a great match in turn after a few months. “He gave me the penalty in a natural way. This is a detail that shows how big he is, “said Coutinho thanking Messi after the match.

 It is clear that Barça has been following Messi’s instructions since August when he gave his first speech as captain, during which he was determined and vocal. It is known that, as he himself has said, he has had the best teachers. Puyol, Xavi and Iniesta have opened the way, Messi has simply followed their footsteps.

Captain of a few words, while his public speeches are complete. Of course, when you talk a bit, the message you want to convey is more reliable. Since Messi’s speech in August, everyone in the club is convinced that a triplet can be won again. Although this word, for now, is taboo at Camp Nou. Messi changed it slightly by saying “Let’s attack on everything.”

Antonio Conte has said he is “waiting for the next destination, but he has no offer from any Italian club”. He also said Chelsea already belongs to his past.

Former coach of Italy, Juventus and Chelsea have spoken of Sky Sport Italia this evening.

“I’m fine, very well. I really lack the training centers but I decided to swim all this year. I’m very relaxed and I’m waiting for the next destination. ”

“I went to see the Atalanta-Juventus match, after coming to Milan from London to follow the match. I have not had any offer from Italian clubs. ”

Conte was asked if he knew that Chelsea’s Maurizio Sarri was beaten 4-0 by Bournemouth in the Premier League this evening and he replied.

“I did not know. Chelsea belongs to my past now. I do not talk much about it, much less that there is still a legal battle between me and this club. ”

The media have written that Conte is being sought by some clubs, as Roma Inter has been rumored today as they were eliminated from the Italian Cup by defeating with a 7-1 result from Fiorentina.
