Transfer news LIVE: Real Madrid eye Haaland if Mbappe move fails, Werner to Spurs imminent, Bayern close in on Dier

Jose Mourinho considering Roma future

Jose Mourinho is “considering his future at Roma” a day after being sent off against Atalanta.

Mourinho’s contract is up at the end of the season, and according to Foot Mercato – there is reluctance on both sides to commit to the deal.

After a torrid start to the season, there were already rumours that Mourinho could lose his job in October, where Mourinho said: “Three months ago, I was loved.

“There was panic just talking about my goodbyes. Today, given that we had a horrible start to the season in the league, I am questioning myself.

“But that’s not a problem. You keep talking about the future, but I don’t have to talk about the future.”

Bayern to rival Spurs bid

Bayern Munich have reportedly joined Tottenham Hotspur and Napoli in the race to sign Genoa defender Radu Dragusin.

Tottenham have seemingly positioned themselves at the head of the queue to sign Dragusin and are in negotiations with Genoa, but the Lilywhites are yet to strike an agreement with their Italian counterparts.

According to Sky Deutschland reporter Florian Plettenberg, Bayern – whose search for a new centre-back has been well-documented – have also registered their interest in the Romania international, and club chiefs have been informed about the conditions of a possible transfer.

Bayern would apparently be prepared to offer a fixed fee of €25m (£21.5m) in addition to bonuses for Dragusin, but Genoa are said to have slapped a €35m (£30.1m) price tag on the head of the defender.

Everton and Man Utd eye youngster

Everton and Manchester United are among several English sides who have sent representatives to watch 19-year-old Porto wonder Ussumane Djalo, according to the Daily Mail.

The Mail report Djalo has a release clause of £8million in his contract with the Portuguese outfit, with Brighton and Southampton also named as suitors.

However, they also claim he could be sold for considerably less than that price tag, with a bidding war on the cards between the interested clubs.

Juventus end Kalvin Phillips interest

Juventus have reportedly ended their interest in Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips and Tottenham Hotspur’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli recently hinted that the club are set to withdraw their interest in the Premier League duo and that the Italian giants may not pursue a new midfielder in January.

Giuntoli said: “At this stage, there are no right opportunities from the economical and technical standpoints, so we stay as is.

“I wouldn’t say we have numerical need (to buy a new midfielder) because those missing have been out for a few months.

“We have a lot of guys who are capable but haven’t found much room and already proved their quality like Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, Samuel Iling-Junior, and Fabio Miretti. The squad is worthy, and the coach is happy.

“[Massimiliano Allegri is] doing extraordinary things with the lads and his staff. We’ll keep at it keeping our heads down.”

AC Milan confirm first signing

AC Milan have officially confirmed the signing of defender Filippo Terracciano who has joined on a long-term deal from fellow Serie A side Hellas Verona.

The club’s official website has announced that Terracciano has put pen to paper on a contract with Milan that will run until 2028, therefore a four-and-a-half-year deal, while he will wear the No.38 shirt.

According to what various sources have been reporting, the deal is worth an initial €4.5m with around €1-1.5m in potential bonuses and a 10% future resale clause in favour of Verona.

Poch offers Chelsea transfer update

Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has insisted the Blues do not need to sell players before they buy new ones in the January transfer window.

With Chelsea in the market for a new striker this month – Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Brentford’s Ivan Toney are both expensive targets – many have speculated the Blues could be forced to sell players before spending in order to appease Financial Fair Play regulations, but Pochettino does not believe that to be the case.

Pochettino said: “No, it is not like this. Like you know, too many rumours going around the clubs. It is not what [the owners] translate to me. It is not necessary to sell to buy some players.

“We keep a good relationship and I think everything is very well. Conversations, normal conversations that we need to have and if we decide something we will announce as soon as possible.”

Man Utd eye Dortmund star

Manchester United are holding talks internally about the idea of signing Dutch forward, Donyell Malen, during the January window.

The former PSV forward is well known in England, with both Tottenham and Arsenal having kept tabs on him in recent times.

However, United feel there might be a chance for them to land Malen now and according to Football Transfers, are considering a loan to buy deal.

Prem duo miss out on wonderkid

Manchester United and Arsenal have missed out on signing Croatian wonderkid Dino Klapija.

The teenage forward has instead agreed to join RB Leipzig from NK Kustosija for £4.8million.

Both Premier League clubs had been linked with the American-born talent in recent weeks.

However, the Daily Mail now report that Klapija has agreed a deal with the Bundesliga outfit instead.

His family are said to have chosen Leipzig as they offered the best pathway into the first-team.

Gallagher gives Chelsea transfer dilemma

Conor Gallagher’s contract situation has plunged Chelsea’s transfer window into doubt.

The midfielder has just 18 months remaining on his current deal and the Blues need to make a decision on his future quickly.

Gallagher is happy to stay at Chelsea according to The Daily Mail and is liked by Mauricio Pochettino.

But Chelsea need to sell in order to fall in line with FFP after their liberal spending since Todd Boehly took over.

The club surpassed £1billion in transfer fees in the summer and still want to add to their squad in January.

Toney keen to repay Brentford

Ivan Toney has been heavily tipped to leave Brentford this month but he feels he owes the Bees after the support they’ve shown him throughout his ban.

He told Sky Sports: “Everyone knows Brentford is a family club, they have been nothing but amazing for me. I can’t thank them enough, especially the fans. They were behind me from the first minute as well. So it’s kind of like I have a lot to repay.

“With Brentford, they’re struggling at the moment but I’m sure when I’m back I will play a big part to get them out of the losing form they’ve been in. I can’t wait to get back and be helping my team-mates.

“Everybody at Brentford knows I will do my best to try and get the club out of the sticky patch we’re in. But there’s no pressure and even if there was, I wouldn’t feel it and that’s what drives me forward. Brentford, we’ve been here before and we know how to get out of it.”

Arsenal enter race for Everton star

Arsenal have opened talks with Everton over a move for midfielder Amadou Onana, according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri.

Manchester United have a long-term interest in the Belgian but Mikel Arteta is looking to reinforce his midfield amid his side’s current bad patch.

Everton signed Onana for £33million last year and could demand around £50m to let him leave.

Werner travelling to London

Timo Werner is reportedly travelling to London to complete his move to Tottenham.

Football London have claimed that the striker has a medical booked and that his salary will be covered until June.

Spurs will have the option to make the move permanent for £16million.

Nketiah asking price

Arsenal have set an asking price for Eddie Nketiah, according to reports.

The Gunners will demand £30million for the striker, claim the Daily Star.

Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke are said to be targets for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Any sales could be put towards an offer for one of those forwards.

Hammers ‘chasing’ Gnonto

West Ham have been linked with a move to sign Leeds winger Willy Gnonto.

The Yorkshire side are reportedly willing to cash in on the Italy international.

The Hammers could make a swoop having suffered injuries to forward Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio.

More on Frimpong

Arsenal have agreed to trigger Jeremie Frimpong’s £34million release clause, according to reports.

The Dutch international has emerged as a target for both the Gunners and Manchester United in recent weeks.

He has been a key man for Bayer Leverkusen so far this season as Xabi Alonso’s side push for a first-ever Bundesliga title.

However, Frimpong could be on the move come the end of the season.

Bild report that Arsenal are willing to meet his £34million release clause once it becomes active in the summer.

The Gunners are said to see the clause as a potential bargain as they move ahead of United in the race to sign the 23-year-old.

Chelsea are ‘looking’

Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that he has held disccusions with Chelsea’s directors over potential transfers this month.

He said: “We are assessing the squad, like always.

“We had a conversation with the owners and sporting director yesterday and today. 

“We are looking, like the other teams, for opportunities.”
