TRENDING RUMORS
- Left-back Álvaro Carreras has been in sensational form for Benfica and his displays have alerted several teams, namely former club Manchester United as well as Barcelona, according to Sport. Barcelona are interested and could attempt to use Ansu Fati in a potential swap deal. Manchester United, meanwhile, need to strengthen the left-back position as a result of Luke Shaw's continued absence from the side, and former Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim knows all about Carreras' ability from his time in Portugal. Record reported in October that United inserted a clause into Carreras' transfer deal enabling them to re-sign him for just €20m. According to TEAMtalk, Girona left-back Miguel Gutiérrez is another player on their radar.
- Alphonso Davies' future remains unclear, but Liverpool have the edge over rivals Manchester United if the Canadian defender opts to move to England from Bayern Munich at the end of the season, reports The Athletic. The 24-year-old left-back is in the final year of his contract, which means he is free to talk to other clubs and sign a pre-contract agreement when the transfer window opens in January. Real Madrid and Manchester United had been the two key protagonists, but Davies is said to be unsure about United's inconsistency, leaving Liverpool to jump the queue for his signature.
- Manchester United have agreed to sign Cerro Porteño left-back Diego León, reports Fabrizio Romano. The move for the 17-year-old left-back will be worth an initial $4m with $1m in easily achieved add-ons and $3.5m of add-ons based on the player and team's performances. León will arrive at Old Trafford in July 2025.
- Manchester City are ready to sign Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz in January after receiving a record £715m revenue boost, as reported by The Times, although they will face competition from Real Madrid for the 21-year-old. The Citizens' interest in strengthening their midfield goes further as they also look at Newcastle United's Bruno Guimarães and Real Sociedad's Martín Zubimendi.
- Napoli are in a battle at the top of Serie A and boss Antonio Conte is seeking reinforcements in January to aid a title push, with Lecce defender Patrick Durgu and Juventus' Danilo among their targets. Dorgo, 20, can bring the ball out from the back and get forward, while Danilo, 33, is seen as a backup option with plenty of experience although he recently told Sky Sports that he intends to stay until at least the summer. Udinese's Jaka Bijol and Arsenal's Jakub Kiwior, are also among Conte's targets.
