Manchester have made a bid for shock player to replace Marcus Rashford at Old Trafford
Arsenal are intensifying discussions with intermediaries to finalize a deal for Barcelona winger Raphinha. However, the Brazilian is also attracting interest from Liverpool and Manchester City, making the competition for his signature fierce.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are keeping a close eye on Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci as an alternative to Martin Zubimendi. Despite this interest, Ricci’s valuation of £50 million could pose a challenge. Additionally, Liverpool are preparing to table a £50 million bid for Atalanta forward Charles De Ketelaere at the end of the season, aiming to boost their attacking options. Real Madrid, on the other hand, have their sights set on Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold for a summer transfer, opting against making defensive signings in January.
Manchester United are targeting Brighton striker Evan Ferguson as they look for reinforcements in attack and a potential replacement for Marcus Rashford. The club has also reignited their interest in Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, a long-term target who is still admired by Chelsea.
Newcastle United are reportedly considering selling right-back Kieran Trippier and winger Miguel Almiron as they aim to comply with Profit and Sustainability Regulations this season. Aston Villa, in a bid to bolster their defense, have expressed interest in Real Madrid center-back Raul Asencio, although they face competition from Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
In Italy, AC Milan are close to securing new contracts for goalkeeper Mike Maignan and midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, effectively ending speculation over their potential departures. Real Betis, on the other hand, are preparing January moves for Chelsea’s Cesare Casadei and West Ham’s Guido Rodriguez to strengthen their midfield.
With clubs across Europe actively working on potential deals, this transfer window promises to be a dynamic and competitive period for securing key signings.
