Fulham have offered a new contract to manager Marco Silva, whose existing deal expires at the end of the season. The Fulham board want the Portuguese - who had grievances over the club's summer transfer window - to extend his four-year stay at Craven Cottage. The 48-year-old accused the board of being "passive" on the eve of the Premier League season and they finished the transfer window having spent about 40m on five players.

Nottingham Forest are preparing to play hardball over the future of Elliot Anderson, with the club convinced that the 22-year-old is on track to become the next 100m-plus English superstar, according to The Telegraph. The midfielder has emerged as one of the most influential players in the Premier League this season, and Forest have made it clear that they will not entertain any offers in January, no matter how large.

According to Fichajes (via Sunderland Echo), Sunderland and Wolves are among the clubs interested in signing Gonzalo Garcia, who has also been linked with Aston Villa of late.

Wolfsburg are interested in Christoph Freund for their vacant sporting director role, but the Austrian has no intention of leaving Bayern. Freund would certainly have a larger role with Wolfsburg and far more power than he does in Bavaria, but it would be a steep drop in prestige and capability. Freund has built a reputation as an executive who can help drive improvement and excellence in a club's youth development system.

AC Milan came up: the crazy thing is that I found out about it on Google, and so did my agent. One day, a friend of mine sent me a post from Milan Futuro, where it said that Ibrahimovic and Moncada were working for me. I contacted my agent and asked, 'Listen, has anyone written to you?' The answer was no, maybe it's a hoax. He checked, and there was interest.

I recommended Thiago Silva to Galliani and Braida, and the latter fell in love with him. He already had a pre-contract with Inter, and Villarreal were also interested in the player, but we spoke to him and he chose Milan in five minutes. He was won over by the club's prestige and the idea of ​​developing alongside someone like Nesta. In hindsight, I'd say he did well, with all due respect to his Nerazzurri cousins...

One such player who lined up for Celta Vigo on the night but has a history at Barcelona was Oscar Mingueza, the young, who was seemingly a mainstay under Ronald Koeman but was offloaded after Xavi Hernandez took over. Since his move to Galicia, Mingueza has developed tremendously and has made himself a mainstay at right-back - so much so that he has generated serious attention on the transfer market front.

Manchester City and Real Madrid are both interested in Liverpool and Hungary midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, 25. (AS - in Spanish), external Manchester United and England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, 20, is open to a January loan move to Napoli but the Red Devils will not allow him to leave on a permanent deal. (Teamtalk), external Real Madrid's Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr, 25, wants to be paid the same as French striker Kylian Mbappe, 26.

The trip to North Wales ended in frustration, with injuries, illness, and a costly mistake from Onel Hernandez all contributing to a 1-0 defeat at Wrexham. Key figures such as James Bree, Lloyd Jones and Kayne Ramsay battled through pain and illness to feature, while others were unavailable including Miles Leaburn who was listed as a substitute and proclaimed injured but there is much speculation and mystery as to what has actually gone on in-house.

Ruben Amorim's Manchester United are making moves to sign Bayern Munich centre-back Dayot Upamecano on a free transfer next summer. Having significantly bolstered their attack in the last summer transfer window, Manchester United have now shifted their focus towards other positions. The Red Devils are keen on adding more quality at the back, and according to a report from Fichajes, they are working on a deal to sign Dayot Upamecano on a free transfer.

Norwich City have sacked head coach Liam Manning following a seventh successive home defeat, which has left them second bottom of the Championship. The 39-year-old was appointed in June, having guided Bristol City to the play-offs last season, but lasted just 17 games in charge. His final match in charge was Saturday's 2-1 loss against Leicester City. They have not won in 11 and have lost eight in a row at home in league and cup.

Daniel Munoz is once again being linked with a move to Barcelona after playing a starring role in the Premier League with Crystal Palace. The right-back, who has previously admitted Ronaldinho was his idol and that he'd love to play for Barcelona, is said to have impressed sporting director Deco. 'Transfer expert' Ekrem Konur says that Hansi Flick is eager to bring in a right-back and that Deco is "pushing" to get a deal done.
