Trending Rumors
– Paris Saint-Germain is competing with Real Madrid and various elite clubs for Bayern Munich’s centre-back Dayo Upamecano, who might become a free agent next summer, per Sky Sports Deutschland. Bayern is looking to extend the contract of the 27-year-old until 2030 or 2031. Upamecano has hinted at being open to renewal, yet without a signed deal, interest from top European clubs remains strong, especially after recent reports linked him to Chelsea, Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Internazionale.
– Chelsea and Manchester United are monitoring RB Leipzig midfielder Assan Ouedraogo, with interest now becoming more serious according to Sky Sports Deutschland. The 19-year-old has scored and assisted three goals this season and made headlines by scoring shortly after debuting for the German national team. Ouedraogo’s contract lacks a release clause, so a summer departure is contingent on RB Leipzig receiving substantial offers. Despite Premier League links, he remains focused on helping Leipzig qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League and on participating in the FIFA World Cup.
– Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Joan Gomez is attracting interest from Manchester United, but the deal for January remains uncertain, according to Team Talk. Wolves expect around £50m to part with the 24-year-old, despite claims they do not intend to sell him. Manchester United is also connected to potential signings including Elliott Anderson from Nottingham Forest, Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace, Yehor Yarmolliuk from Brentford, and Carlos Baleva from Brighton & Hove Albion.
– Juventus and Premier League clubs are eyeing a move for goalkeeper Mike Maignan, as he becomes a free agent when his AC Milan contract ends this summer. Reports indicate that the Rossoneri are still attempting to secure a contract extension for the 30-year-old, with manager Massimiliano Allegri advocating for retention last summer and now offering a new two- or three-year deal worth €5 million per season.
– AC Milan is also targeting Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is eager to transfer but faces ongoing interest from numerous clubs with his contract nearing its final 18 months and stalled wage negotiations. While there is Premier League interest, Mateta’s preference is a switch to Serie A.
