TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has caught the attention of Bayern Munich, as reported by the Daily Mirror. With ongoing interest from the Saudi Pro League, the Bundesliga champions are keen on securing Fernandes, whose transfer fee is thought to be around £70 million. United may entertain offers for the 31-year-old if they align with their valuation, although the possibility of a January transfer remains uncertain as Fernandes is contracted until June 2027.
– Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan are pursuing FC Cologne sensation Said El Mala, as noted by Bild. The 19-year-old is having an impressive season in the Bundesliga, already netting three goals in seven matches. El Mala is under contract until 2030 but is expected to be available as early as next summer for a fee estimated between €30m and €40m. Bayern Munich has also expressed interest in the Germany U21 player recently.
– Manchester United midfielder Casemiro continues to attract interest from the Saudi Pro League, as per Football Insider. Despite his strong recent performances for both club and country, the 33-year-old Brazilian is open to considering offers as the January transfer window approaches. His existing contract expires next summer, and while discussions about a new deal are ongoing, they would require a pay cut for the player.
– Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio stated to Corriere dello Sport that the club will not pursue Brazilian star Neymar, 33, if he becomes a free agent after his contract with Santos concludes: “Neymar? Come on, that’s nonsense. Never contacted, never offered — it’s all nonsense.”
