Transfers

Endrick could make a shock move to the Serie A as Juventus are reportedly keen on signing the out-of-favour Real Madrid youngster.

Former Manchester United star Michael Carrick is in frame to take over as Rangers manager after Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard decided to step away from the race to replace Russell Martin at the Scottish club.

Real Madrid have been told that they can re-sign their youth player Nico Paz 'whenever they want' as Como president reveals their transfer plan. Madrid sold Paz to Como in 2024 but they have the option in the deal to re-sign the wonderkid for €9m in 2026 or €10m in 2027, a fraction of his current market value. Since moving to Italy last year, Paz has thrived under Cesc Fabregas.

Manchester United have been sent a message over their interest in Adam Wharton's transfer as Crystal Palace chief admitted that the midfielder would want to play in the Champions League in the future.

Haji Wright has been in impressive form for Coventry City, suggesting that there is a Premier League future for him somewhere, but the USMNT star has been advised to shun any interest shown during the January transfer window. The American frontman will be registering on recruitment radars after starring under Chelsea and England legend Frank Lampard in the Championship.

Barcelona are believed to be delighted with Marcus Rashford's progress and are considering sealing a permanent transfer for the Englishman next summer, following an impressive start to life in Catalunya. Rashford joined on an initial loan deal from Manchester United in August, with Barca bosses said to be wary that the deal seemed "too good to be true".

Harry Maguire is reportedly prepared to reject a staggering £500,000-a-week offer from Saudi Arabia to stay at Manchester United - but only if the club give him the assurances and new contract he's looking for. The England defender, whose deal expires next summer, is said to be open to extending his stay at Old Trafford if United make clear he remains part of their long-term plans.

Manchester United are lining up a shock move for Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton as they gear up for a midfield reshuffle.

Nottingham Forest are considering replacing Ange Postecoglou with Sean Dyche, should they decide to part ways with the Australian coach after just a handful of games in charge.

Real Madrid have earmarked Erling Haaland as Vincius Junior's replacement as the Spanish giants make the Manchester City star a priority target if the Brazilian leaves the club and moves to Saudi Arabia.

The winger has yet to agree to sign a new Los Blancos contract, with only two years left in his existing deal.

Former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere has officially been appointed as the new manager of struggling Luton Town. The 33-year-old takes the reins at Kenilworth Road following the sacking of Matt Bloomfield, with the Hatters opting to hand the rookie coach his first permanent senior managerial role in a bold and eye-catching move. Wilshere has only held an interim job with a senior side so far.

Kyle Walker has admitted that he never should have left Manchester City to go on loan to AC Milan last season, criticising his own decision as ‘selfish’. The English defender made the six-month switch to the Italian giants in January and, looking back, believes it was the wrong move to make at the time, given City had been uncharacteristically struggling under Pep Guardiola.

Bruno Fernandes has claimed he always wanted to remain at Manchester United over the summer, despite being the target of a number of bids from clubs in the Saudi Pro League.

Bundesliga club Hamburger SV chief has dismissed concerns that Tottenham Hotspur could call back their wonderkid Luka Vuskovic from his loan spell in January.

Inter Miami are considering an audacious swoop for Santos' Neymar as they weigh up the merits of reuniting the famous former Barcelona attacking trident. The winger still has a couple months remaining on his deal at his boyhood club in Brazil, but may be looking to move on. The MLS could prove an interesting proposition given next summer's World Cup will be held in the US.

Tottenham have joined the list of teams keen on signing Brentford attacker Kevin Schade, with the Bees’ former boss lining up a potential switch. Frank signed Schade from Freiburg in 2023 and now wants to reunite with the Germany international.

Manchester United are heading for a stormy few weeks behind closed doors, with reports claiming that crunch transfer talks have been scheduled with Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee ahead of the January window.

Dele Alli is taking inspiration from the "I want what's coming to me" mentality adopted by Tony Montana in the iconic Al Pacino film 'Scarface', with the former Tottenham, Everton and Como midfielder working through his latest comeback bid.

Manchester United are set to make Juventus star Kenan Yildiz their top summer 2026 target, with the Red Devils willing to pay up to €90 million (£76m/$98m).

Arsenal are reportedly ready to sell £45 million ($60m) star Gabriel Jesus this coming January, though Gunners fans have been told to "expect a quiet January window" after a spending big money over the summer. When Gabriel Jesus joined the Gunners in July 2022, he was billed as the man to restore Arsenal's firepower and spearhead a new era at the Emirates.

Bayern Munich are reportedly planning a surprise move for Nottingham Forest defender Murillo as they look to strengthen their backline next summer.

Chelsea have reportedly joined Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in the race to sign Koln’s rising star Said El Mala.

Will he or won't he? Lionel Messi has a massive decision to make and, just eight months before the start of the 2026 World Cup, we still don't know whether he'll lead Argentina's title defence. "At my age, it's only logical to think I might not," the 38-year-old told TyC Sports just last month. But, let's face it, there's never really anything logical about Messi's career.

Rayan has emerged as one of the most promising talents in Brazilian football and his performances haven't gone unnoticed by some of the Premier League's heavy hitters.

However, it's Spurs who are the frontrunners for the 19-year-old.

Chelsea have reportedly stepped up their pursuit of Bologna striker Santiago Castro, sending scouts to assess the 21-year-old’s performances in Serie A ahead of a potential January move.

Chelsea are prepared to reignite their interest in Juventus sensation Kenan Yildiz as they look to bolster their attack. The Old Lady forward is widely regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in Europe.
