Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea are interested in signing Argentina and Sporting Lisbon left back Marcos Rojo, according to reports in Portugal.
Portuguese newspaper O Jogo report the 24-year-old could be available for around €15m, but Chelsea may face a fight with Liverpool and Barcelona both said to be interested.
After losing Ashley Cole to Roma and with Ryan Bertrand out of favour under Jose Mourinho and expected to leave, the Blues are searching for a new first choice left back.
Last season Mourinho frequently played Cesar Azpilicueta on the left, but a new player is deseperately needed at the position.
Chelsea's first choice target is Ateltico Madrid defender Filipe Luis, but the Spanish champions are playing hardball over the fee for the Brazilian defender.
Rojo has had an impressive World Cup and O Jogo believe Sporting could be ready to cash in while he is hot property.
