TRENDING RUMORS
– An agreement over a new contract is close between Liverpool and winger Mohamed Salah, reports MARCA. The Premier League club are reported to be much closer to meeting the 32-year-old’s demands with their latest proposal, and there is belief that an agreement could be announced before the end of the year. Saudi Pro League clubs are continuing to monitor the situation of Salah, who registered an assist in the 2-2 draw with Fulham on Saturday.
– Real Madrid will forgo signing a right-back in January to prioritise a move for Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, reports AS. It is reported that while the LaLiga side are keen to reinforce the right side of their defence following recent performances, the club’s hierarchy are “adamant” that they would prefer to make a move for Alexander-Arnold in the summer rather than find a stop-gap in the next transfer market. The 26-year-old will enter the final six months of his deal in January when Los Blancos will be able to make an official offer through a pre-contract agreement.
– Newcastle United are set to compete for the signature of West Ham United forward Mohammed Kudus, reports the Express. The Magpies are reported to be interested in the 24-year-old alongside Liverpool and Arsenal, though the St. James’ Park hierarchy believe that they will need to move players on first before approaching for him, and could look to part ways with Miguel Almirón. Kudus played 75 minutes in the 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Monday, and previous reports have indicated that an offer worth £90 million would be required to land him.
– Chelsea are interested in signing on-loan Nuremberg striker Stefanos Tzimas, reports Sky Germany’s Patrick Berger. The Blues are said to be “monitoring the situation” of the 18-year-old, who is on loan at the 2. Bundesliga side from PAOK Saloniki. He has scored seven goals in 13 league matches so far this season, and it is reported that he is also on the shortlists of Aston Villa and Newcastle.
– Liverpool aren’t currently looking at signing Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané despite reports, reports Sky Sports Deutschland’s Florian Plettenberg. No discussions are believed to have taken place over a potential switch to Anfield, though the 28-year-old could leave the Allianz Arena on a free transfer next summer, with the Bundesliga club “not actively pursuing” an extension for him. Sane has seen the majority of his appearances come from the bench this season, having made eight starts across all competitions.
