TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United would consider offers to sign star trio Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Højlund, says The Guardian. Garnacho, 20, has been a key member of the squad for the past few seasons, scoring 13 goals in 76 Premier League games, while Mainoo and Højlund are viewed as key players for the future. However, concerns over the club complying with Profit and Sustainability Rules could see United “reluctantly” part ways with them. While the trio certainly aren’t being forced out of Old Trafford, they also are not considered “untouchable” by the club’s hierarchy if the right offer does come in.
– Marcus Rashford’s representatives arrived in Italy late on Tuesday ahead of scheduled talks with AC Milan, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Rossoneri are keen to understand the conditions of any future loan deal, which could be finalized in the coming weeks. Rashford’s camp are also expected to talk with Borussia Dortmund and a number of other European clubs in the coming days. Rashford, 27, hasn’t played for Manchester United since he was left out of Ruben Amorim’s squad for the Manchester Derby last month. As such, he is widely expected to depart Old Trafford, with a loan deal currently the most likely outcome.
– Bayer Leverkusen‘s Jonathan Tah is yet to commit to joining Barcelona despite being heavily linked with the club, Florian Plettenberg reports. The defender is also wanted by the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but Barça have long been viewed as the front-runners to sign him once his contract expires this June. Nevertheless, Tah still hasn’t given his “final commitment” to the Spanish giants, who are doing all they can to secure the transfer. The 28-year-old has been imperious for Bayer under manager Xavi Alonso, playing a central role in the club’s first-ever Bundesliga title triumph last season.
– Juventus have added Feyenoord Rotterdam defender Dávid Hancko to their January transfer shortlist, according to Footmercato. It’s expected to be a busy month for the Serie A club, with some reports claiming they will sign up to three players in the weeks ahead. One such player could be 27-year-old Hancko, who has impressed in the Eredivisie since joining from Sparta Prague in 2022. While a deal won’t be easy to complete, discussions are already underway between the two clubs.
– Chelsea‘s Carney Chukwuemeka is on Borussia Dortmund’s winter shortlist, as per Sky Germany. The 21-year-old is widely expected to leave Chelsea this month, having been largely sidelined by Blues boss Enzo Maresca since he arrived at Stamford Bridge. While Chukwuemeka isn’t expected to be short of potential suitors, Dortmund are currently leading the charge as they search for a new No. 8. The England under-20 international has a release clause of around €40-€45 million, although he is far more likely to leave Chelsea on loan this winter.
