Manchester United have made Nice and France centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo their priority target for the January transfer window, with the Red Devils keen to bolster their defensive options. (Football Transfers)
In terms of outgoings, Manchester United were first contacted by Juventus about a possible loan deal for Jadon Sancho last week. Saudi Pro League sides Al Nassr and Al Hilal could also enter the race for the winger. (Daily Mail)
Amid similar interest from Saudi Arabia, Manchester United will also consider offers for Casemiro in January. (TalkSPORT)
Chelsea have made Victor Osimhen a key striker target and he is believed to be open to a move to Stamford Bridge, but Napoli are unlikely to sell him in January and so the Blues may have to wait until the summer. Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Club Brugge’s Antonio Nusa are also of interest to Chelsea. (Evening Standard)
Arsenal are also keeping an eye on Toney, but are likely to prioritise the signing of a new midfielder in January instead, with Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz at the top of their shortlist. (Daily Mirror)
Real Madrid have moved ahead of Barcelona in the race to sign Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, who is also wanted by several Premier League sides. (AS)
Benfica are not willing to sell midfield starlet Joao Neves, who is wanted by Arsenal and Liverpool. If they want to sign the 19-year-old, they will have to pay his £105m release clause. (Record)
Another midfielder on Liverpool‘s radar is Piotr Zielinski, whose contract at Napoli expires at the end of the season. (Fichajes)
Manchester City have joined Real Madrid in the battle for Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies, whose agent has played down talk that he has agreed to join Los Blancos. (AS)
Barcelona sporting director Deco has revealed the club want to keep Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix beyond their season-long loans. (RAC1)
Eric Dier is interested in joining Bayern Munich from Tottenham in January. With his contract up at the end of the season, Spurs would rather a permanent sale instead of a loan that takes him to the end of his deal. (Football Insider)
