TRENDING RUMORS
– Lionel Messi is likely to extend his stay at Inter Miami, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Back in September, ESPN sources indicated that the legendary player was on the brink of a new multiyear deal, with his current contract set to end this year. Following a strong finish to the MLS regular season, reports suggest that the “final details” of his contract are now being addressed. Messi is “wholeheartedly committed” to the Inter Miami initiative, having transitioned to the team in summer 2023 from Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentina captain netted 29 goals in 28 regular-season matches this year, earning the 2025 MLS Golden Boot and contributing an impressive 19 assists.
– Marseille is keen on acquiring Real Madrid forward Endrick on loan, as reported by L’Équipe. The publication indicates that a potential deal might materialize in January, given that the 19-year-old has yet to play any first-team minutes under coach Xabi Alonso this season. Endrick is reportedly open to the move, aiming to secure a spot in Brazil‘s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This comes amidst Marseille’s pressing need to strengthen their forward line, especially with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Amine Gouiri set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
– Real Madrid has formulated a three-player defensive shortlist, according to talkSPORT. The list includes Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi, along with Bayern Munich‘s Dayot Upamecano, and Liverpool‘s Ibrahima Konaté. All three defenders are out of contract in 2026, potentially allowing Madrid to secure one on a free transfer akin to their recent acquisition of Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer. Guéhi is also being monitored by Bayern Munich, who may seek to submit a winter bid for the England international.
– Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is reportedly leaning towards a move to Tottenham Hotspur in January, as stated by Football Insider. The Serbian forward may be available at a discounted price since his contract with Juve expires at season’s end, making him appealing to various interested Premier League teams. Spurs could be in a prime position to acquire him due to the ongoing fitness issues with forwards Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani.
– Manchester City will not be hasty in making decisions regarding goalkeeper James Trafford, according to TEAMtalk. The arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma has pushed Trafford down the depth chart, even after his significant transfer to the club this summer. Any discussions about his future have yet to happen, though this may change come December. The 23-year-old has not started a Premier League match since Donnarumma’s signing in August.
