Enrique wants to see out his Liverpool deal
Jose Enrique has told Liverpool he wants to see out the remaining five months of his contract.The Spanish defender Reds fans love to hate has turned down a move to Newcastle, even though his Anfield club were prepared to pay him off to leave.
Enrique was offered a deal until the end of the season at St James’ Park, but told his former club he wanted a longer deal.
And he turned his back on a move by joining Liverpool training at their Melwood complex last night, cutting short celebrations amongst Koppites that he could finally be on his way.
The Spaniard earns an eye-watering £65,000 a week and is due more than £1.5m for the remaining months on his contract, and he has indicated he is determined to sit it out and pick up that pay packet before finding another club at the end of the season when his contract is up.

Debuchy moving closer to Bordeaux deal
Mathieu Debuchy is set to join Bordeaux on loan until the end of the season.Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger sanctioned the move - even though he was keen for him to stay in the Premier League.
Sunderland and Aston Villa also made attempts to sign 30-year-old Debuchy but were scared off by Arsenal’s demands as they wanted a £1.5m loan fee and to cover his £60,000-a-week wages.
Mirror Sport understands Manchester United were never genuine contenders to get Debuchy who trained with Arsenal this morning.
Debuchy will be expected to return to Arsenal this summer as his situation has changed because Carl Jenkinson is now out for up to nine months with a cruciate knee ligament injury.
That means Debuchy could even be at Arsenal next season as back-up for Hector Bellerin which is why Wenger wanted him to stay in England to get his sharpness back and also veered towards a loan deal.

Everton's Niasse deal edges nearer...
Everton are edging closer to completing their drawn out deal for Oumar Niasse.The Senegal striker has had his medical, and is now back at the club’s training ground, where he is thought to be completing the small print on contract details.
That deal could be announced soon, with the Blues committing to a £13.5m transfer that makes him the third most expensive signing in their history.
Where next for Pellegrini?
Once we get this transfer window out of the way, you’d imagine that Manuel Pellegrini’s future will be up for the debate.Chelsea would seem to be a good fit and they’re the current favourites with Unibet, who have priced up their market like this:
- Chelsea 3/2
- Atletico Madrid 4/1
- PSG 7/1
- Malaga 8/1
- Villarreal 8/1

Burnley have landed defneder James Tarkowski from Brentford.The 23-year-old has signed a three-and-a-half year deal at Turf Moor after joining for an undisclosed fee.
Clarets boss Sean Dyche is a happy man:
“James is a player I have known for a couple of seasons and I’ve monitored his progress from Oldham, right the way through to now,” he told the Burnley website.
“He is at a good age and has gained a lot of experience over the last couple of seasons and I feel he can be a big part of us going forwards in the future.

Gilingham extend Samuel loan
Gillingham have extended the loan of striker Dominic Samuel from Reading until the end of the season.Samuel has scored five in 13 games for the League One side since he arrived earlier in the campaign.And Reading boss Brian McDermott told Get Reading that it’ll do him good to continue at Priestfield Stadium.
“I think for Dominic’s development it’s really important he can play a full season and be successful, as he has at Gillingham. It will be great for him,” he said.
“We can keep watching him doing his stuff and then he can come back to us having had a full season under his belt in the summer and be part of our squad.
“He’s getting stronger all the time, he’s scoring goals, his movement is terrific.“To take him back now and for him to only come off the bench, maybe for his development and for us, it would be better for him to stay.”

Sanogo set to sign for Charlton?
Arsenal forward Yaya Sanogo is reportedly on the verge of joining Charlton on loan for the rest of the season.The French forward has spent the first half of the season on loan at Ajax, but has enjoyed little success in Holland.

Liverpool just can't shake Enrique
Looks like Jose Enrique is reluctant to leave behind his salary at Anfield, even though he will not play for the Reds ever again.The Spanish full back was in talks over a move to Newcastle, but he has turned down the advances of his former club, and has just started a training session at the Reds’ Melwood training ground.
With Liverpool not flying to Leicester for their Premier League game until tomorrow morning, Jurgen Klopp had scheduled a 5pm training session this evening - a clear sign he had no plans to sign any players himself.
And frustratingly for everyone connected to the Anfield club, Enrique is there, laughing and joking as usual, and probably taking some selfies, given his past record.
We are told that means he won’t be going to Newcastle unless something dramatic happens...which usually means he wants more money to go.

Jose Enrique in talks over Newcastle return
Jose Enrique is in talks about a return to his former club Newcastle - five years after attacking Toon’s transfer policy under Mike Ashley.Liverpool are prepared to pay up some of his contract to get rid of the injury prone defender, who has six months left on his current Anfield contract.
Enrique has been cast into the wilderness this season, playing only with the kids in the scratch FA Cup teams Jurgen Klopp has sent out.
And the Reds will let him leave if he can strike a deal with the north east club where he first made his name in England.
