TRENDING RUMORS
– Arsenal will likely be offered the chance to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani on loan, after the injury suffered by Bukayo Saka, as reported by The Standard. The report adds that the Gunners haven’t decided whether to sign a replacement for the 23-year-old. Kolo Muani could also be offered to other clubs, with the 26-year-old not stepping up in the way PSG expected after Kylian Mbappé’s departure.
– Fenerbahce would like to sign Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford on loan with the option to make the deal permanent, according to TEAMtalk; they would require the Red Devils to pay some of the 27-year-old’s wages. TEAMtalk also suggests that Man United aren’t trying to force Rashford out of the club but would seriously consider offers of £50m-£60m.
– Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel is attracting interest from Chelsea, according to Florian Plettenberg. The Blues are reported to be interested in signing the Switzerland international, 27, despite having nine goalkeepers already at the club (most of whom are on loan elsewhere): Robert Sánchez, Filip Jorgensen, Marcus Bettinelli, Djordje Petrovic, Lucas Bergstrom, Eddie Beach, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Gabriel Slonina, alongside Genk’s Mike Penders who will arrive in the summer.
– Napoli will compete with Juventus to sign Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee, according to Calciomercato. Juventus transfer guru Cristiano Giuntoli is already working on a deal to sign the 23-year-old in the summer, with the player’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, wanting to give Juve priority, although Napoli could use Man United’s interest in Victor Osimhen to gain an advantage in negotiations.
– Manchester United and Newcastle United are both putting plans in place to sign Southampton winger Tyler Dibling, according to Football Insider. This comes with the Saints potentially being forced to let the 18-year-old leave if they suffer relegation, but they are unwilling to let such an influential player depart in January given their position at the bottom of the Premier League table.
