  • The January transfer window officially opens tomorrow
  • Manchester United are looking to offload a number of players
  • Watch out Liverpool and Arsenal! Man City are ready to do what they always do and hit top gear at this stage of the season – Listen to It’s All Kicking Off 

With less than a day until the January transfer window, clubs in the Premier League and in Europe are jockeying in preparation of a busy month of negotiations.

Manchester United are reportedly ready to listen to offers for Raphael Varane in January and could permanently offload Mason Greenwood as they look to raise funds for new signings.

Elsewhere, Ange Postecoglou has made a Serie A star one of his priority signings as he looks to bolster his defensive options, which have been decimated by injuries this season.

Spurs are also keeping an eye on one of the most in-form strikers in the Premier League, while Kalvin Phillips‘ move to Juventus may not be as straightforward as expected.

Below, Mail Sport takes a look at the transfer rumours on Sunday morning.

Atletico Madrid have approached Manchester United over the signing of Mason Greenwood

Greenwood is unlikely to join Barcelona, with the reigning LaLiga champions put off by Manchester United‘s £40million valuation of the striker. (Sport – in Spanish) 

Manchester United have triggered a clause to extend Victor Lindelof’s contract by a further 12 months until the end of June 2025. The 29-year-old’s deal was due to expire at the end of the season. The Sweden international has made just 12 Premier League appearances this season and has been sidelined with a groin injury this month. (The Athletic)

Juventus and Manchester City remain in talks for Kalvin Phillips over a loan deal. The England international has made just 10 appearances in all competitions this season and looks finally set to leave the Etihad just 18 months after his move from Leeds. (The Times)

But Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri could veto the move as he doesn’t believe Phillips fits his tactical system. (Calciomercato – in Italian)
