Spurs have been monitoring Rodrygo for some time now, but they may face stiff competition from Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, while Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea are reportedly fans of Yildiz as well.
– Bayern Munich is in talks with representatives of Liverpool’s center back Ibrahima Konaté, according to Bild. His contract is set to expire next summer.

Additionally, there was a recent argument between the Nigerian international and manager Ivan Juric after his substitution against Marseille. Lookman’s contract runs until 2027, but there are concerns over clubs meeting the €50 million asking price, especially with the Africa Cup of Nations approaching in January.
– Tottenham’s Thomas Frank is considering a move to bring Al Ahli striker Ivan Toney back to the Premier League in January, as reported by TalkSPORT. Toney, 29, enjoys playing in the Saudi Pro League but recognizes that a return to the Premier League could enhance his chances of being selected for England‘s squad for the 2026 World Cup. However, Al-Ahli is hesitant to release Toney mid-season, so he may need to advocate for a move.
– Barcelona intends to initiate formal discussions with Manchester United about making Marcus Rashford‘s loan permanent in the upcoming weeks, according to TEAMtalk. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has urged the club’s management to prioritize securing a long-term contract for Rashford, viewing the 28-year-old as a crucial asset for their future.
