He's been training with the Under-21s the whole time, Glasner revealed (h/t YahooSport). Now it's about giving him minutes. He tried to find a club in the summer. We had talks, but we didn't find the right club. His contract will end next summer. I hope he continues his career in the best way. We want to prepare and support him for that.
Inter Milan are interested in signing the Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. They are hoping to improve the goalkeeping department in January, and they have identified the 2022 World Cup winner as a target, as per Fichajes. Yann Sommer will be a free agent in the summer of 2026, and Inter Milan are hoping to replace him. It will be interesting to see if Inter Milan can sign him.
When I have spoken to people at the club, the project and everything around it, it just seems really good. This is a good place for me to be a better footballer, to develop more and be as good as possible. I know Martin [Ho] as a coach and I know what to expect. We worked really well together. He demands a lot, but I like that, I think he can get even more out of me.
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve the attacking unit with the signing of Al-Ahli striker Ivan Toney. The 29-year-old has been linked with a return to the Premier League, and Chelsea are interested in signing the player as well. According to a report from TEAMtalk, the English attacker is willing to accept wages of around 200,000 a week in order to move back to England.
Manchester United are interested in signing the Ajax defender Jorthy Mokio. According to Sacha Tavolieri, the 17-year-old defender is a target for Newcastle United as well. However, Manchester United are very serious about signing him, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. Mokio has been linked with Liverpool and Chelsea as well. Jorthy Mokio to Man United?
According to Pete O'Rourke (via Football Insider), Kubo would be tempted by a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The player himself could be interested in moving away because it's not been the best of seasons for Real Sociedad in La Liga this year and they have struggled more than they normally do. They're normally more competitive than they have been so far this season as well and the player himself could be finally interested in making that move to the Premier League.
I asked Dani Olmo before making my final decision so he could tell me a bit about it. He said that the league was improving, but that if I was fit, I wouldn't have any trouble playing. It's a very good league for developing and gaining experience.
There was constant back and forth between the two clubs in the negotiations and it became increasingly difficult to make any sort of progression as Stuttgart were not exactly fond of the idea of offloading their key striker to a Bundesliga rival. They had already lost Serhou Guirassy to Borussia Dortmund and didn't want to have the same thing happening again, even though Woltemade had made it clear he was heavily interested in making the step up to Bayern.
It is no secret that Milan are interesting in signing Lewandowski on a free transfer when his contract expires in June 2026. According to Sky Germany (via FootballItalia), Lewandowski has rejected a proposal from Fenerbahce because he wishes to play at a higher level. The fact that the Pole continues to seem to prioritise the right sporting experience over a big pay day from potentially his last big contract gives Milan some hope. Saudi clubs have been linked, and they can offer salaries that most European clubs cannot get near.
According to TEAMtalk, the 23-year-old attacker has a contract with the German club until 2027, and Manchester United are keen on securing his signature in January as well. He has a release clause of around 71 million in his contract, and it will be interesting to see if Arsenal or Manchester United can get the deal done. The player is represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes. Arsenal have already initiated contact to get the deal done.
Chelsea are interested in signing the Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton. The 21-year-old is one of the finest young talents in the Premier League, and he has been linked with multiple clubs. As per Fichajes, Chelsea are currently leading the race to secure his signature. It will not be easy for them to convince Crystal Palace to sell the player, and they might need to pay a premium.
The 24-year-old will be out of contract at the end of the season, and Everton have not been able to agree on a new deal with him yet. According to Football Insider, Newcastle are scouting the player regularly and they are hoping to sign him on a bargain. It will be interesting to see if they decide to sign him for a nominal amount of money in January.
Everything I did, kissing the badge, I did because that's how I felt at the time. I spent many years at Espanyol, I suffered a lot, but I also enjoyed myself a lot. Last year was particularly difficult. We weren't safe until the very last day. These are things that just come out; in the end, you have a lot of affection for the club and you've suffered a lot.
This was the summer of 2022, a failed transfer class that also included Sadio Mané, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, and Mathys Tel. At the time Bayern was actually the picture of stability, with a front office apparently fulling backing second-year head coach Julian Nagelsmann, who was heavily involved in the recruitment process alongside sporting executives Hasan "Brazzo" Salihamidžić and Marco Neppe.
Tottenham Hotspur are all set to break the bank to sign Real Sociedad attacking mainstay Takefusa Kubo. While things didn't work out for the Japanese international at Real Madrid, he has certainly revived himself since joining Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022. His consistent performances, along with his massive potential, have attracted a lot of interest. Kubo has been hailed as a future superstar.
AMSTERDAM -- With a hat trick, Victor Osimhen has moved atop the Champions League scoring table. The Nigeria striker netted all three goals in Galatasaray's 3-0 victory over Ajax in Amsterdam on Wednesday. Osimhen now has six goals this season in Europe's elite club competition. That's one more than Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. The Istanbul club signed Osimhen to a permanent deal from Napoli in the summer for a record transfer fee in the Turkish League worth reportedly €75 million ($86 million).
I can't imagine Napoli will be open to letting Scott McTominay leave. He's such a key man for them. He's their talisman right now in that Napoli side, especially now with Kevin De Bruyne out injured. They'll need to keep hold of their best players and McTominay is definitely that. Four goals in 11 appearances this season (as of 30 October) and Napoli are top of Serie A again.
According to Sport, Oriol Romeu has secured his next move after leaving Barcelona, returning to England to join Southampton. The 34-year-old midfielder, who terminated his contract with the Catalans at the end of the summer transfer window, will sign a short-term deal until the end of the season, with an option for an additional year. Romeu, a club legend at Southampton after seven successful seasons there, is expected to help the team fight against relegation in the Championship. He will travel to England shortly for a medical and to finalize the agreement.
Akanji, who was linked with Tottenham prior to his Inter Milan move, has revealed (via Fabrizio Romano) that he wants to remain at the Nerazzurri on the permanent basis, thus making it clear that he has no intention of returning to Man City next summer. We will see I hope Inter will buy me on permanent deal. I feel very good here. I will give my best and then we will see.
Obviously, it's not been the ideal start for Trent Alexander-Arnold over at Real Madrid. He's had his injury problems, he's just recently recovered and was on the bench for El Classico. It does look like he will probably get more opportunities in the starting XI in the upcoming weeks with Dani Carvajal having knee surgery. Liverpool are missing him, no doubt they're missing his creativity, but I don't think Alexander-Arnold is thinking about leaving Real Madrid any time soon.
When Chelsea shelled out 40 million to sign Cole Palmer from Manchester City at the start of the 2023/24 season, not everyone was convinced by the move. Some baulked at the price tag for such a young player who had shown promise at City, but not been able to nail down a regular starting place, while others believed it was a risk worth taking.
Jashari was the longest transfer of the summer, and it seemed like the deal would not happen at several points. However, Milan eventually got their man. Unfortunately for all parties, though, he was not given much time to embed. A challenge in training led to him fracturing his fibula, and he has spent the past few months recovering. Now, though, the process is complete, likely helped by his desire to return to the squad.
Freed by Napoli's front-foot approach and the abundance of service from creative midfielders and wide men, the Dane has shown form that made Man United sign him in the first place. The goals have arrived in varied fashion, first-time finishes, surges in transition, and decisive touches in crowded areas, showing that he has managed to rediscover his form and confidence.
Manager Thomas Frank, who has enjoyed an excellent start to life in North London, is eager to add further attacking depth as Spurs continue to push near the top of the Premier League table. Bowen, one of West Ham's most consistent and influential players in recent years, has emerged as a prime target to strengthen Tottenham's frontline as Frank looks to elevate his side into genuine title contention.
