Man United struggled to get fringe players off the books in the summer, and while they were largely successful in the end, there is more work to do. Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho both left on loan with no obligation to buy, and although neither is expected to have any future at Old Trafford, a final decision has already been made with the latter. Sancho has had a disastrous time of things at Man United since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.

For Juventus, the appeal is clear. The Bianconeri are keen to add balance to their defensive unit and have prioritised the signing of a left-footed central defender who can operate comfortably in a high line and build play from the back. Senesi's profile fits that brief well. Strong in duels, composed in possession, and experienced at both domestic and international level, he is seen as a player who could slot into Serie A seamlessly.

Over the last few weeks, rumours about Mike Maignan have increased. In the last few days, rumours have started circulating abroad again that Chelsea are ready to return to the Frenchman.

Everyone loves a bargain and the potential pool of free agents whose current deals are set to expire at the end of the 2025/26 campaign will be constantly assessed in the coming months. Once January comes around, any players in the final months of their contracts will be able to talk to overseas teams and there are a number of big-name players for whom the clock is ticking.

Juan Hernandez has been one of the youth prospects who have been called up to train with the FC Barcelona first team on a semi-regular basis in recent weeks by manager Hansi Flick. The 18-year-old midfield prodigy, enjoying his breakthrough season with Barça Atletic under Juliano Belletti, even made the matchday squad for the senior team for a couple of matches this month.

Barkley has had something of an up-and-down career down the years and it's now unclear what the future could hold for him. The 31-year-old started out as a real wonderkid in his Everton days, but struggled when he later earned a big move to Chelsea. Since then, Barkley has occasionally shown signs of reviving his career in spells with Luton Town and Aston Villa, but he's now fallen down the pecking order in Unai Emery's squad again.
