Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo would prefer a move to Real Madrid to joining Barcelona in the January transfer window, according to Defensa Central. Mainoo is ready to leave Man Utd on a loan deal in the middle of the season. The 20-year-old England international midfielder has become frustrated by his lack of chances under manager Ruben Amorim. Mainoo has made 10 substitute appearances for Man Utd so far this season and has not started a single game in the league.
Eric gives us stability, he had a fantastic game. Gerard has improved a lot. And I've already spoken about Cuba in the past. Playing at this level at 18 is incredible. I congratulate La Masia for what they've done with the young players. It's truly wonderful.
And, as things stand, Bayern Munich are prepared to make a move for the England international, with the Bavarians' sporting director, Max Eberl, planning on direct talks with the player once the new year rolls in. With the German champions ready to move, and other big clubs like Real Madrid and Liverpool also in the hunt, Barcelona will need to act swiftly if they intend to sign Guehi on a free transfer in the summer.
Casado has quietly emerged as one of La Masia's brightest talents. A versatile midfielder with a strong tactical sense and exceptional work rate, Casado has impressed for Barcelona's first team and B side, often operating as a deep-lying playmaker or holding midfielder. His intelligent positioning and sharp distribution have earned comparisons to former Barca captain Sergio Busquets, with many inside the club believing he could eventually fill that void long-term.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich will have the opportunity to sign Mohamed Salah next year. The disgruntled Liverpool attacker has offered his services to the three European bigwigs amid hopes of remaining in Europe after leaving the Merseyside club. Mohamed Salah is clearly unsettled, leading to questions about his Liverpool future and Arne Slot's position at the Merseyside club.
Barcelona last season were renowned as one of Europe's most potent offensive sides, especially with Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal inflicting devastating damage on opponents. A long list of injuries has not allowed the team to hit the same gear this season, but it would be wrong to say that they are less dangerous than last season. After all, the Catalans have already scored a staggering 61 goals in just 22 games and thus average close to three goals per game.
