TRENDING RUMORS
– Liverpool are keen on Brighton & Hove Albion winger Yankuba Minteh, according to Football Insider. It is said that the Reds are “plotting a move” for the 21-year-old, having identified him as a potential future replacement for Mohamed Salah, who will enter the final 18 months of his deal at Anfield in January. Minteh has directly contributed to four goals in 11 Premier League matches this season, and previously worked under Liverpool manager Arne Slot during his time at Feyenoord.
– Manchester City and Real Madrid are interested in Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, Diario AS reports. Both clubs are reported to be “closely monitoring” the 25-year-old’s situatio he has directly contributed to six goals in 15 matches across all competitions so far this season. Szoboszlai has a contract at Anfield that runs until 2028, and the reigning Premier League champions are keen to commit him to a new deal to avoid reaching next summer with only two years left on his current terms. As such, they are willing to increase his €135,000-a-week wage as a reward for his recent performances, and to ward off other clubs.
– Real Madrid are prioritizing signing winger VinÃcius Júnior to a new contract, according to Cadena Ser. The Bernabéu hierarchy believe that the 25-year-old has been unfairly treated by manager Xabi Alonso, and it looks as though they aren’t looking to consider offers despite him being linked with a potential exit from the club at present. Brazil international Vini Jr. has played 90 minutes in both of the last two matches for Los Blancos, who drew 0-0 in La Liga with Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.
– The future of AC Milan winger Rafael Leão is open, according to Matteo Moretto. It was reported on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel that the Rossoneri are satisfied with the 23-year-old Portugal international’s current form and could be willing to offer him a two or three-year deal to stay put at the San Siro following his recent performances under manager Massimiliano Allegri. However, the club would reportedly consider a transfer if they received a significant proposal for him.
