El Shaarawy's agent reveals rival interest.

Stephan El Shaarawy's agent Roberto La Florio claims both Inter Milan and Barcelona were interested in signing his client.
The Italy international, 20, caught the interest of several big clubs with his performances on loan from Genoa at Padova in 2010/11, and joined Milan at the end of that season.

The player's agent has claimed his client could well have ended up at one of Europe's other heavyweight clubs had Milan not moved so quickly.

Ochoa shining brightly in Corsica.

A superstar back in Mexico, Guillermo Ochoa raised more than a few eyebrows by signing for newly promoted AC Ajaccio 18 months ago. The goalkeeper has excelled in Corsica, but could this season be his last?
Back then, there was talk of interest from Paris Saint-Germain - and even Barcelona - but instead the former Club America goalkeeper surprised everyone by jetting in to Corsica, where he's been excelling in goal for tiny Ajaccio.
"People didn't understand why I came to Ajaccio," he explained to French media Sport. "But now, back home, lots of people are talking about my performances. All the Ajaccio games are shown live in Mexico. It's great that people are watching Ligue 1 on TV every weekend."
