TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes remains open to a Saudi Arabia move, according to talkSPORT. Despite the United captain having already turned down approaches from Al Hilal, Al Nassr and Al Ittihad, SPL clubs are intent on signing the 30-year-old in the summer of 2026. Al Hilal had been willing to offer £80 million, but Fernandes decided that it was best to stay at Old Trafford in the lead-up to next year’s FIFA World Cup. United could also be willing to let him leave at the end of the season, at which point he will have one year left on his contract with the option to extend until 2028. The Red Devils are interested in a Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Baleba, though any deal for the Cameroon international would likely be worth at least £100m.

– Liverpool could face competition from Manchester City in their continued pursuit of Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guéhi, according to the Daily Star. Guéhi was a key target for Premier League champions Liverpool for much of the summer transfer window but, despite Palace accepting a £35m bid in the run-up to the deadline, they withdrew from the deal at the 11th hour after being unable to secure their preferred replacement. Liverpool are now hopeful that they can sign the England defender for a lower fee in January, rather than wait until the summer when he is out of contract. However, City could look to take advantage of the fact Guéhi is still available and make a move of their own while Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are also interested in the 25-year-old.
