TRENDING RUMORS
– AFC Bournemouth are aware of Real Madrid’s interest in Dean Huijsen, reports The Sun, adding that any departure for the centre-back would be more likely in the summer than January. This comes with Los Blancos scouts having tracked the 19-year-old for some time and been left impressed by his swift rise in the Premier League. According to reports in Spain, Bournemouth have quoted a transfer fee of at least £49 million. Huijsen only joined Bournemouth in July, signed from Juventus for an initial fee of €15.2m. Though born in Amsterdam and having played for Netherlands at youth level, he is more recently a Spain under-21 international having moved to country at the age of five and coming through the youth ranks at Málaga.
– Manchester City have added Lens centre-back Abdukodir Khusanov to their list of potential signings in January and are well-informed on his situation, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. There is still an open race to sign the 20-year-old, with various other top clubs interested in the Uzbekistan international, as he is considered among the best talents in his position.
– Napoli want to sign Juventus defender Danilo and Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa, reports Tuttosport. Danilo is increasingly likely to leave Juventus while Chiesa has struggled for game time, having made his own departure from I Bianconeri last summer, although Napoli will face competition from Atalanta for the latter.
– Having taken over at AC Milan, new manager Sérgio Conceição could look to his Portuguese roots, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. They are linking I Rossoneri with Sporting CP‘s Francisco Trincão, Porto winger Pepê and Mallorca‘s Samú Costa. Genoa‘s Morten Frendrup, Hellas Verona‘s Reda Belahyane and Monza‘s Warren Bondo are also being considered for the midfield position.
– Real Madrid believe that “time is on their side” in their pursuit of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Marca reported on Thursday. The newspaper says there will be “more movements” in the saga after Liverpool rejected an initial approach earlier this week, and claims Madrid would be willing to pay a €25m fee to agree a deal for the right-back in January.
