TRENDING RUMORS
– AC Milan want to bring in Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford but his salary could be an issue, reports Sky Sports Italia. The Red Devils are willing to find a solution in January and could even contribute to the 27-year-old’s earnings to help make a move possible. Meanwhile, TEAMtalk reports that Rashford has attracted interest from Major League Soccer side Seattle Sounders and another report from Rudy Galetti says United have asked about the possibility of doing a swap deal for the England international with Napoli for winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
– Paris Saint-Germain are looking to do a swap deal with Aston Villa that would see strikers Randal Kolo Muani and Jhon Durán move clubs, says Football Insider. Kolo Muani, 26, signed from Frankfurt for €80m in 2023 but has made just one substitute appearance in their last seven games. Man United, Liverpool and RB Leipzig have been linked with the France international but PSG could use him to try and land Duran, 21, from Villa as he has scored 12 goals in 26 appearances in all competitions this season.
– Manchester United could look to sign Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres and centre-back Gonçalo Inacio in the summer, according to The Mirror. Ruben Amorim gave the Portuguese giants his word that he would not make an effort to sign any of their players in January having moved to Old Trafford, but he could still be reunited with the pair in the next transfer window.
– With Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes heavily linked with a summer move to Manchester United, Relevo suggests that Les Parisiens could look to replace the 22-year-old by signing Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde if the move does go ahead.
– TEAMtalk suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo is considering his future amid concerns that Al Nassr don’t have what it takes to win the AFC Champions League. The 39-year-old isn’t rushing to make a decision, with his options being to stay put and continue asking for signings to strengthen the Saudi Arabian club’s squad, return to Portugal, or retire — potentially after the 2026 World Cup.
