TRENDING RUMORS
– Real Madrid are confident that they will sign Marc Guéhi when the Crystal Palace center back’s contract ends in the summer, according to The Sun. Los Blancos believe that the 25-year-old favors a move to join fellow England internationals Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold, despite Bayern Munich joining them, Liverpool and Barcelona in the race to sign him as a free agent. The Reds are looking to make a big defensive signing in January, but Guéhi reportedly isn’t interested in a mid-season move.
– Having reported Barcelona’s interest in Levante forward Karl Etta Eyong yesterday, Mundo Deportivo are now suggesting that the Blaugrana are also interested in Strasbourg’s Joaquín Panichelli. A bicycle kick by the 23-year-old in the UEFA Conference League group stage against Polish side Jagiellonia caught the eye, but Barca are more impressed by his tally of nine goals in 10 Ligue 1 appearances so far this season. This comes as Barca are not currently in a position to sign or register a world-class striker such as Atletico Madrid’s Julián Álvarez due to financial issues.
– Gazzetta dello Sport has suggested that Mexico striker Santiago Gimenez has until January to prove that he should stay at AC Milan, even though the 24-year-old only joined from Feyenoord for €28.5 million last January. In another report, Gazzetta states that the Rossoneri are looking for goal scorers and Gimenez could be involved in a swap deal for Roma’s Artem Dovbyk. Milan are also interested in Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee, Strasbourg’s Joaquin Panichelli and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Jonathan Burkardt.
– Bayern Munich are seriously considering making an offer to sign Feyenoord right back Givairo Read, as reported by Sky Sports Deutschland, and are already in talks. The 19-year-old recently signed a contract that runs until 2029 but the Netherlands U19 international is aware of the interest. It could still be a complicated deal for Bayern to complete due to attention from the Premier League, with Liverpool also reported to be interested.
– Barcelona are closely monitoring Sao Paulo midfielder Gustavo Zabarelli, as reported by Sport. The 16-year-old has an Italian passport, which could mean the club don’t have to wait until his 18th birthday to sign him, while Sao Paulo have allowed young players to leave in recent times due to their financial struggles. Zabarelli is currently training with VfB Stuttgart for “a few weeks,” while Ajax and Benfica are also keen on a permanent move.
