Sunday's gossip column - transfers and rumours

TRANSFER GOSSIP

Chelsea are favourites to sign Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao, 26, ahead of Manchester City although the Premier League champions may renew their interest in the Colombian if they can offload Mario Balotelli in January.
Balotelli, 22, is out of favour at City and is attracting the interest of Paris Saint-Germain, who are said to be looking for a marquee signing in the January transfer window.
Wilfried Zaha
Wilfried Zaha made his England debut this week and is attracting a lot of interest
Sir Alex Ferguson says the prospect of re-signing Cristiano Ronaldo is remote, describing the 27-year-old former United player as "unbuyable".
Manchester United are preparing a huge bid for Crystal Palace and England winger Wilfried Zaha, 20, who is also wanted by Arsenal and Tottenham.
Juventus are convinced they can tempt Liverpool to sell Luis Suarez, 25, with a big offer for the Uruguayan. This is despite Reds boss Brendan Rodgers insisting that the striker is not for sale.
However Chelsea also want Suarez and think they could capture him, if they install former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola as manager.
Meanwhile, Juventus are also not ruling out making a loan move for former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, 34, currently with Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.
