Crisis club Sheffield Wednesday missed out on huge Danny Rohl windfall before boss walked out
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY missed out on a Danny Rohl windfall weeks before his exit. German side Wolfsburg were willing to pay almost £1million compensation to bag him. 2 But owner Dejphon Chansiri wanted the full figure in boss Rohl's contract — which was more than double that sum. Rohl, 36, left the crisis club by mutual consent on Tuesday. Meanwhile, long-serving Liam Palmer, 33, will NOT hand in his notice despite the Owls ' current problems. And neither will skipper Barry Bannan, who has signed a new contract at Wednesday to keep his daughter happy. The midfielder, 35, was a free agent and claimed he turned down 'interest from elsewhere' to remain at Hillsborough for an 11th consecutive season. It was a surprising announcement given Wednesday's dire financial situation ahead of their opening Championship clash at Leicester on Sunday August 10. Under the ownership of Thai businessman Chansiri, there have been late payments to HMRC, transfer embargoes, multiple failures to pay the wages of players and staff members, and rising debts. They only have 15 first-team squad members and departed manager Rohl has been replaced by his Danish assistant Henrik Pedersen. Yet Bannan struck an optimistic note as he explained his reasons for staying in the blue-and-white half of the Steel City. The Scottish father-of-two, who has made 447 Wednesday appearances, revealed that his children are delighted he is not leaving. He said: 'Being out of contract, it was the first time that has happened to me in my career so it's been hard. 'Deep down inside I always knew what I wanted to do. 'At times it seemed like what I didn't want to do could happen but now I'm delighted to get it done and I can look forward. 'There's loads of reasons really. I've made it clear over the years my love for the club and the love I receive back. 'This club is a big part of me and my family, who are with me here as I'm signing. 'They will always stand by me with whatever decision I make and I've decided to stay. 'With the season getting closer, this last week has been tough because there was interest from elsewhere and I had a lot to think about. 'We had a lot of conversations as a family and when I told my daughter Elsie that I might be leaving she started crying. 'Then last night when I told her I was staying she started crying again. I asked her why and she said they are just happy tears.'

European heavyweights make Darwin Nunez their 'number one target' as Liverpool seek to sell the striker and finance a deal for Alexander Isak
Italian giants AC Milan have reportedly entered the race for Liverpool wantaway Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan looks set to leave Merseyside this summer after making just eight starts as Arne Slot 's side breezed to the Premier League title. He had been the subject of interest from Antonio Conte 's Napoli earlier in the window, with the Italian club thought to have been negotiating a cut-price deal with Liverpool for the striker. But talks eventually collapsed after club officials failed to agree a price, with Napoli instead signing Udinese frontman Lorenzo Lucca. Now, AC Milan - who recently appointed Massimiliano Allegri as their manager - have identified Nunez as a target up front. The Rossoneri have made contract with the Uruguayan's representatives over a deal, according to Sky Sports in Italy. Nunez, who is also receiving interest from Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal, is thought to be Milan's top target ahead of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund and Arnaud Kalimuendo, who plays in France for Rennes. The sale of Nunez just two years after he signed in a £85m deal from Benfica will no-doubt help Liverpool fund their pursuit of Newcastle United star Alexander Isak. Having already bolstered their ranks with the additions of Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Hugo Ekitike, the Reds submitted their first bid of £110m for the striker on Friday. Newcastle were thought to be disappointed by the offer and quickly rejected, with Liverpool chiefs expected to submit a second offer soon. The Mapgies are however reluctant to sell without a replacement lined-up as they continue their pursuit of RB Leipzig attacker Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian has also been made aware of interest from Manchester United, and is currently thought to be weighing up his next move. Newcastle and Eddie Howe are also working on a deal to bring in Brentford's Yoane Wissa. If they're to secure Isak's services next season, Liverpool have been told it will take a bid of closer to £150m. The Swede is thought to have told the Magpies that he wants to join the league champions Isak has reportedly told Newcastle he wants to leave after reporting a thigh injury ahead of the club's pre-season tour of Asia. He spent last week training at former club Real Sociedad, but is expected to return to Tyneside this weekend. Speaking about the possible loss of his star man, Eddie Howe told Mail Sport: 'I know where he is, really, through the media. 'From that perspective, it's difficult for me to go into any kind of detail. The situation is far from ideal and is quite complex. 'I was made aware of a bid yesterday (Friday) and that bid was turned down, all before I'd even heard about it. 'People back in England are dealing with the situation. I don't know what happens next. From our perceptive, we still support Alex in every way and my wish is that we see him in a Newcastle shirt again.' The Premier League season is now just two weeks away, kicking off on Friday 15 August with Liverpool taking off Bournemouth.
