Nikola Kalinic - could leave Blackburn.
KALINIC LOOKS TO SORT OUT FUTURE

Out-of-favour striker Nikola Kalinic hopes his Blackburn future will be sorted out within days.
Ukrainian team Dnipro are thought to have made an offer in the region of £4million for the unsettled striker.
But Blackburn, who paid £6million for Kalinic when they signed him from Hadjuk Split in the summer of 2009, are believed to be holding out for a higher fee for his services.
The Croatia international, who is believed to be surplus to requirements in Rovers boss Steve Kean's plans for next season, hopes his future can be sorted out soon.
The 23-year-old told Sportske Novosti: "In a few days everything will be sorted out, but I will not talk about possibilities.
"There are always some options but I think so far the price, which was set by Blackburn, is just too high for some clubs which are interested in me.
"So, I'm training with Blackburn and I hope that everything will be sorted out in my favour."

Jose Mourinho - takes new role.
JOSE MOURINHO GAINS GREATER CONTROL

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has strengthened his position at the Bernabeu by becoming head of football operations.
Mourinho spent much of last season at loggerheads with director general Jorge Valdano but emerged victorious as the club legend was fired earlier this summer.
The subsequent restructuring has also worked in his favour, giving the Portuguese coach more control of affairs away from the pitch.
Mourinho, under pressure to deliver this season having won only the Spanish cup last term, will work alongside sporting director Zinedine Zidane in a two-pronged approach.
