Jarrad Branthwaite continues to draw serious attention from some of the Premier League's biggest clubs, with both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur closely monitoring the young defender's situation at Everton. The 23-year-old remains one of the most promising centre-backs in English football and top Premier League clubs are interested in signing him, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.
Barcelona are interested in a move for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, Mundo Deportivo reports. Any possible move for the 26-year-old depends on the Blaugrana's financial situation and sporting director Deco has cooled expectations in that regard, with Gala having spent €75 million to sign the Nigeria international in the summer. The same outlet has also reported on Barça's interest in , the Levante striker who is also being looked at by Real Madrid, Manchester City.
Real comfortably beat Barcelona 2-1 in El Clasico, with Jude Bellingham popping up with an assist and the winning goal at the Bernabeu, sending Xabi Alonso's men five points clear at the top of La Liga. But the victory was overshadowed by Vinicius's antics after being hauled off in the second half, as his future is a topic of discussion in the Spanish capital once more.
Tottenham target Mason Greenwood (Image credit: Getty Images) Tottenham are lining up a shock move for Mason Greenwood as they look to bolster their attacking options. Thomas Frank has enjoyed a good start to life at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, they are unbeaten in the Champions League and currently find themselves third, five points behind leaders Arsenal. However, their attackers are yet to find their best form this season, so they have identified Greenwood as a potential shock option for the January transfer window
Tottenham are looking to improve their attacking unit with the signing of Samu Aghehowa from Porto. The 21-year-old has been in fine form for this season, scoring 11 goals in all competitions. Tottenham are keen on securing his signature, and they are now accelerating their efforts to get the deal done. The player has a 88 million release clause in his contract, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to pay up.
The player is likely to move back to a European club. Bailey believes that a move to Germany is most likely for Carvalho. He said on Leeds United News: I've heard a lot about him. I think they will let him go out. I think a move back into Europe and back to Germany is most likely. I don't see Brentford letting him go to a rival. It's pretty nonsensical, really.
Now, in another positive development, SPORT reports that Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has begun light training on the pitch as he continues to recover from back surgery performed on 25 July in Bordeaux. The 33-year-old club captain has been sidelined with a long-term injury, estimated to require around four months of recovery, meaning he is still expected to need at least another month before becoming available to Hansi Flick.
I'd be very surprised if anything was to materialise from this one. Obviously, Andy Robertson is a boyhood Celtic fan, came through the ranks there before being released and then ended up going to Dundee United and the rest is history, where he's really kicked on from there as Scotland captain. Celtic I'm sure would love the opportunity to sign somebody like Andy Robertson, but I don't think it's in the plans right now for Andy Robertson maybe to be moving back up to Scotland.
Manchester United are said to be leading the race to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta in January. A 40 million asking price has been touted as sufficient for Crystal Palace to entertain offers for the France international, who continues to hit new heights in terms of his impressive Premier League goalscoring. Although the Eagles are currently reluctant to part ways with their star man, Mateta is yet to agree new contract terms with his current deal expiring in 2027.
Aston Villa are interested in signing the Getafe midfielder Luis Milla in the coming months. The 31-year-old experienced midfielder is valued at 30 million, and Aston Villa are prepared to offer 25 million in order to get the deal done. It remains to be seen whether the La Liga outfit is prepared to accept the offer if it is presented. As per Fichajes, Atletico Madrid are interested in the Spanish midfielder as well.
I will be surprised if it was to happen anytime soon. It could happen in the future, there's no doubt about that. There are strong links between John McGinn and Celtic. I think his granddad was Celtic chairman at one point as well. Got to remember, he came very close to moving to Celtic before he joined Villa in 2018.
Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson was heavily linked with a move away from the club at the start of the season. However, the experienced Scottish International ended up staying at the club. There have been rumours that he could look to move on in January. However, a report from Football Insider claims that there is no chance of the defender leaving the club midway through the season.
He has a contract with Inter Milan until 2027, and he might be available for a reasonable amount of money in the coming months. As per Fichajes, Ruben Amorim wants Manchester United to sign the player in January. Dimarco could be an upgrade on Patrick Dorgu. Man United keen on Federico Dimarco It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can get the deal done.
Tottenham are reportedly planning a bold midfield signing as they seek to bolster depth ahead of the January transfer window. According to Fichajes, Spurs have set their sights on Luka Sucic, the talented young midfielder of Real Sociedad. With several midfield departures and injury concerns already putting strain on the squad, Tottenham see Sucic as a potential solution, and could move early to secure his services.
