TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United is reportedly targeting Bournemouth star Alex Scott to bolster their midfield, as The Sun reports. Coach Ruben Amorim aims to sign two central midfielders next summer, potentially phasing out players like Kobbie Mainoo, Casemiro, and Manuel Ugarte. Scott has been a key player for Bournemouth this season and recently earned his first England call-up. In addition, United is monitoring the progress of strong prospects such as Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, and Elliot Anderson, all likely to command fees of around £100 million. Also, talkSPORT mentions that Atlético Madrid’s Conor Gallagher and Rúben Neves of Al Hilal are viable options for January. Gallagher, an England international, is eager to return to the Premier League, with a potential price of around £35 million.
– Both Chelsea and Manchester City are reportedly looking to sign Leicester City’s promising talent Jeremy Monga, according to TEAMtalk. At just 16 years old, Monga made his Premier League debut for Leicester last season and has become a regular in the squad this season after their relegation to the Championship. He has 14 appearances to his name this season, marking his first senior goal in August.
– Former Liverpool forward Divock Origi will be a free agent in January after mutually parting ways with AC Milan, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Origi has been out of the first-team picture at San Siro since the summer of 2024, but will be able to sign with a new club soon. He made only 27 appearances for Milan in Serie A, scoring twice.
– Crystal Palace is facing competition from Aston Villa for winger Brennan Johnson, according to TEAMtalk. The Wales international has seen his standing at Spurs decline this season, which may prompt a winter transfer. The club is reportedly amenable to letting Johnson go, with a potential fee up to £40 million. This could entice Villa, as Unai Emery seeks to strengthen a squad currently just three points off the Premier League summit.
– West Ham United and Benfica are reportedly “monitoring” Lorenzo Lucca, currently at Napoli, according to Nicolo Schira. Lucca is on loan at Napoli, which has a future obligation to buy, but that clause only activates in February. This means the Hammers could make a bid in January. Juventus has also shown interest in the player.
