Real Madrid-owned Dani Ceballos has revealed that his decision to turn down a loan move to European champions&nbsp;Liverpool&nbsp;in favour of&nbsp;Arsenal&nbsp;was reached in part due to the style of play employed by those at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp's Reds have been in stellar form over the course of the past few seasons, winning the&nbsp;Champions League&nbsp;last term and now being&nbsp;on course to end a 30-year wait to be named Premier League champions, having narrowly lost out to&nbsp;Manchester City&nbsp;in 2018-19. Arsenal, meanwhile, have been in a transitional period during the Reds' revival, with Mikel Arteta the latest figure brought in to restore the club to its former glory after Unai Emery's unsuccessful spell in charge following Arsene Wenger's exit. One could be forgiven for questioning Ceballos's choice to pick the Emirates over Anfield but the&nbsp;Spain&nbsp;international remains sure that he made the right decision.

Liverpool were in contact with the management team of RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner as early as last summer, Bild claims, though no agreement could be reached at the time. It is claimed that Werner had been expecting a bid from Bayern Munich and had resigned himself to staying in the Bundesliga.

AC Milan's hierarchy is split over whether to pursue Massimiliano Allegri or Ralf Rangnick, <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Milan/11-02-2020/milan-scontro-diavolo-allegri-o-rangnick-panchina-360865676110_preview.shtml?reason=unauthenticated&amp;origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gazzetta.it%2FCalcio%2FSerie-A%2FMilan%2F11-02-2020%2Fmilan-scontro-diavolo-allegri-o-rangnick-panchina-360865676110.shtml" target="_blank">Gazzetta dello Sport</a> reports.
