Jose Mourinho says that he does not agree with Brendan Rodgers

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says that he does not agree with Brendan Rodgers saying that Raheem Sterling is not available for sale at any price.

Instead, he has stated that every player has their price and that the club should sell them once the interested parties meet the pricetag. Mourinho was speaking ahead of the match with Stoke City during the weekend. Sterling has been a major focus for tabloid transfer news after his latest interview to the BBC where he stated that his contract talks have been put on hold. Further, he welcomed any interest from Arsenal.

It is also believed that Chelsea, Manchester United, and City are also monitoring the situation. Sterling is believed to have rejected an offer of £ 100,000 per week from Liverpool. The reason for rejecting appears to be motivated more by trophies than money. The 20-year-old believes that he can go to clubs elsewhere where there are better opportunities for winning titles. Mourinho has quoted the example of his best player – Eden Hazard, who he also terms as the best player in the league – for the fact that any player can be sold if he does not want to play for a specific club or a manager.

Ryan Babel says his Club can be Confident ahead of Match

Midfielder Ryan Babel says that his former club, Liverpool, can be confident ahead of their match against visitors in the Europa League last 16 round.

Brendan Rodgers masterminded a 1-0 victory at Anfield the first leg, but there is certainly nervousness amongst the squad ahead of the return leg.Babel was part of the team that played in several European matches, although it was largely in the Champions League. Besiktas are definitely a good team and they will be posing a huge threat to the Premier League outfit. Istanbul has been a place of very happy memories for Liverpool after they’ve managed to come back from 3-0 down to win the Champions League final in this city.

Rodgers has said prior to the match that the Istanbul 2005 memories will certainly help the team in their quest for a place in the next round of the Europa League. Due to their poor early-season form in the Premier League, this competition is seen as the only way for Liverpool to enter into the Champions League next season. From this season onwards, winners of the Europa League will be going straight into the Premier European competition even without the qualification stages. Babel is no stranger to Turkish football after currently being involved with Kasimpasa.
