Manchester United’s head coach, Ruben Amorim, is reportedly keen on signing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray. Amorim is said to be unsatisfied with the current attacking options, including Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund, and Joshua Zirkzee. The club is also eyeing Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo and Southampton’s rising star Tyler Dibling as potential reinforcements. Meanwhile, Barcelona has approached Manchester United over a loan deal for Rashford, further fueling speculation about his future.
Barcelona continues to expand its transfer ambitions, with Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez topping their list of striker targets, which also includes Jonathan David, Viktor Gyokeres, and Alexander Isak. Arsenal, on the other hand, remains active in discussions with Sporting CP for Viktor Gyokeres but has identified Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig as their priority striker target. Liverpool has also entered the race to sign Lyon’s young playmaker Rayan Cherki, though they face stiff competition from Paris Saint-Germain.
Defensive reinforcements are on the agenda for Arsenal, who are preparing a €40 million bid for Barcelona’s versatile defender Jules Kounde. Chelsea, seeking a reliable goalkeeper, may consider Borussia Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel, though the Bundesliga club has set a €70 million price tag. Additionally, Tottenham Hotspur could provide Liverpool’s goalkeeper Caiomhin Kelleher a way out, adding to the goalkeeping shuffle.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are keeping tabs on Sporting CP’s Dario Essugo, who is currently impressing on loan at Las Palmas. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala, heavily linked with multiple Premier League clubs, has expressed a long-term interest in playing in Spain, potentially favoring Real Madrid or Barcelona in the race for his signature.
North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are reportedly monitoring Argentine teenager Julio Soler as they prepare for the January transfer window. Manchester City and Manchester United could clash over Atalanta midfielder Ederson, who is valued at €60 million.
