TRENDING RUMORS
– Chelsea retain an interest in Nottingham Forest center back Murillo, according to TEAMtalk, although a deal in January is unlikely. Chelsea considered making a move for the 23-year-old in the summer window, but he signed a contract in January that runs until 2029 and that puts Forest in a strong position, with a fee of over £70 million required to sign him. Chelsea are still likely to try to bring in the Brazil international and could be willing to invest heavily if they are in a position to challenge for the title when the January window comes.
– Sergio Ramos will leave Monterrey and has interest from Saudi Arabia, MLS and Europe, claims Marca. The former Real Madrid defender, 39, is not ready to retire and is trying to make Spain’s squad for the 2026 World Cup in the summer. Ramos is set to depart Monterrey just nine months after joining the Mexican team as a free agent, with Inter Miami a possible destination.
– While Manchester City are looking at AFC Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo as they prioritize signing a winger, The Daily Mail has reported that the club are also ready to move ahead of Manchester United and Liverpool to bring in Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson. Forest will reject any January offers but a summer departure could be possible, especially if a fee approaching £100 million is offered. Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton has previously been considered, but Anderson is now the preferred choice at the Etihad.
– Matteo Moretto has told Radio Marca that Atletico Madrid are one of the clubs looking to sign Crystal Palace center back Marc Guéhi as a free agent in the summer. Bayern, Barcelona and a handful of Premier League clubs (including Liverpool), are looking at the 25-year-old, while Calciomercato has also mentioned Internazionale as a possible destination. Although the Italian side are also keen on Sassuolo’s Tarik Muharemovic, Udinese’s Oumar Solet and Lazio’s Mario Gila.
– Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo is the priority for Napoli as they aim to sign a midfielder in January, reports Calciomercato. Kevin De Bruyne, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Billy Gilmour are all injured, so the club need to bring in reinforcements. They have also been linked with West Ham United’s Soungoutou Magassa, Stade Rennais’ Djaoui Cissé, Olympiacos’ Christos Mouzakitis, Udinese’s Arthur Atta, Bologna’s Giovanni Fabbian, Internazionale’s Davide Frattesi, Juventus’ Fabio Miretti and Roma’s Lorenzo Pellegrini.
