Leeds have had a resurgence in recent weeks, and they will hope to carry on their momentum in the transfer market. The plan is for multiple positions in Daniel Farke’s squad to be addressed, and one of those is in defence.

According to Marca, Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic is among Barcelona’s primary targets to replace Robert Lewandowski and the La Liga giants have already sounded out the striker’s availability.

Man United struggled to get fringe players off the books in the summer, and while they were largely successful in the end, there is more work to do. Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho both left on loan with no obligation to buy, and although neither is expected to have any future at Old Trafford, a final decision has already been made with the latter.

Tuttosport newspaper reports that Luciano Spalletti was frustrated by Juventus players’ lack of concentration in the first half against Pisa, so he ‘made his voice heard’ at half-time.

Aston Villa have had a fantastic season so far, and they will hope use the transfer market to keep up this momentum. Left-back is an area that could be addressed, which has led to targets being identified.

Christian Pulisic has been directly involved in 50 Milan goals in 80 Serie A appearances, the second-best in the league over the last three seasons, after Lautaro Martinez.

Antoine Semenyo has dominated the transfer news waves in recent weeks, with a number of clubs competing to sign him. Bournemouth are resigned to losing him in the early stages of the January transfer window, and the man himself has now made a decision on where he will be playing next.

Rafael Leao has returned to group training today and is expected to be available for Milan’s next Serie A match against Cagliari.

With six league goals for Napoli this season, Rasmus Hojlund has already surpassed his Premier League goal tally at Manchester United in 2024-25.

West Ham are hoping to make several signings in January, but in order to do so, they may need to raise funds first. One player that bring in a considerable amount is Lucas Paqueta, whose future at the London Stadium is looking increasingly unclear.

Sky Sport Italia confirms that Roma are among the ‘several clubs’ interested in Tottenham defender Radu Dragusin, but it’s still unclear whether Spurs want to sell the Romania international next month.

Bruno Fernandes has been in excellent form for Man United this season, but his long-term future at the club remains uncertain. The Portuguese playmaker is reportedly available for offers, with Old Trafford officials prepared to let him leave for the right price.
