BBC Sport: Saudi Pro League could offer big money Chelsea star exit from Stamford Bridge nightmare
Clubs in Saudi Arabia are monitoring the situation surrounding Joao Felix this summer according to journalist Nizaar Kinsella. Chelsea are once again set for a busy summer and have already completed the signing of Liam Delap, with more new faces expected to follow. Advertisement The Blues are in the market for a centre back, versatile forward and left winger as they look to strengthen Enzo Maresca's squad ahead of the new season. Saudi Pro League clubs monitoring Joao Felix Whilst incomings are important, outgoings are equally crucial this summer, and Chelsea have as many as ten players they are looking to offload. Despite only joining last summer from Atletico Madrid for £45m Felix falls into that category, and the 25-year-old spent the second half of the season on loan at AC Milan. Felix is set to leave Chelsea despite only joining last summer. (Photo by) Advertisement Milan made it very clear they wouldn't be signing Felix on a permanent basis, and the Portugal international managed just three goals and one assist in 21 appearances in all competitions. The Portuguese was left out of the Chelsea squad for the Club World Cup, and Felix has been linked with a return to former club Benfica. Progress on a new club for Felix has been slow, but Kinsella in his piece for BBC Sport has reported clubs in Saudi Arabia are monitoring his availability. It's unclear how much Chelsea would want for Felix or whether they would accept a loan, but Saudi are likely to offer them the highest transfer fee. Christopher Nkunku set to leave Felix isn't the only attacker heading for the Stamford Bridge exit door this summer, and it seems highly likely Christopher Nkunku will join him.

Jarell Quansah's Bayer Leverkusen medical set for Monday
Fabrizio Romano reports that Jarell Quansah's long awaited move to Bayer Leverkusen should be completed early next week. The 22-year-old is due in Leverkusen for a medical on Monday. Quansah will then be officially unveiled by his new Bundesliga club. The news on the scheduled medical isn't particularly surprising. It remained common knowledge that Quansah would head to Westphalia after the conclusion of England's participation in the UEFA U21 Euros. Quansah and the English U21s are set to face the German U21s in the Final this evening. Advertisement Regarding the final package that has been negotiated, Romano sticks to his originally quoted figures of a €35 base-transfer-fee plus €6m in performance-related add ons. Romano does have some new news to report on Liverpool's rumored buyback clause. Per the Italian transfer expert, the Premier League champions can re-capture Quansah for a fee of around €70m. If Quansah meets certain performance metrics, however, he can cost the Reds upwards of €82m. GGFN | Peter Weis

Djokovic crashes Sabalenka's news conference at Wimbledon to offer advice: 'Put some power into it'
LONDON (AP) — Novak Djokovic offered some lighthearted advice to top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon on Saturday after gatecrashing the Belarusian's news conference. Djokovic and Sabalenka spent some time practicing together at the All England Club this week ahead of the start of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, then playfully interrupted the end of Sabalenka's news conference on Saturday by telling her to hurry up so he could take over the podium. Advertisement Sabalenka then took on the role of interviewer as reporters had been asking her about their session on court. 'What did you think about hitting with me?" the three-time major winner asked Djokovic. "How do you see my level? Am I good?' Djokovic, who holds a total of 24 Grand Slams, was quick with a quip. 'I think you have the potential. You're like a really talented player,' he said, before offering a criticism of Sabalenka — who is known as one of the biggest hitters on the women's circuit. 'Can I be honest? You're lacking intensity on the court," Djokovic said, drawing laughter. 'You don't have enough intensity. It's too flat. You've got to lighten up a little bit and put some power into it.' Advertisement Djokovic has experience with this kind of hijinks. Back at the All England Club in 2011, it was the then-second ranked Serb at the podium when then-No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki crashed his news conference and peppered him with questions. Djokovic went on to win his first Wimbledon title, while Wozniacki lost in the fourth round. Djokovic opens his bid for an eighth Wimbledon title on Tuesday when he plays Alexandre Muller of France. Sabalenka plays Carson Branstine on Monday. ___ AP tennis: Mattias Karen, The Associated Press
