TRENDING RUMORS
- Liverpool, Manchester United and West Ham United are all interested in AC Milan star Christian Pulisic, reports Calciomercato. The Rossoneri don't want the 26-year-old United States international to leave due to his impressive form, but have let their better players depart for the correct figure in the past -- and that could be the case here if the Serie A giants receive an offer of over €60 million.
- Manchester City could look to re-sign Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong, according to Football Insider, with this coming as Kyle Walker approaches the last years of his career. At 23, Frimpong is seen as a long-term option for the Citizens while Brentford's Sepp van den Berg is also being looked at for their defence.
- In an interview with The Athletic, Lille striker Jonathan David has admitted that he wants to join Barcelona. "Barcelona was always the team I grew up supporting. When you grow up supporting a team, it's your dream to play for them," he said. Even so, a January move seems unlikely, as the 24-year-old added: "Going to a club mid-season is never easy. It's not like the beginning of a season where you have a pre-season, you get to know your teammates, you have time to gel. In January, things are very hectic. It's about right now. It's tougher."
- Manchester United sent scout Sergio Souza to watch Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres during Sweden's 2-1 UEFA Nations League win over Slovakia, according to The Sun, who add that the 26-year-old is a priority for new manager Rúben Amorim. Gyokeres scored the opener three minutes into proceedings and assisted Alexander Isak's winner in the 48th minute.
- Atalanta would demand over €60m for Ademola Lookman amid Paris Saint-Germain interest in the forward, reports Calciomercato. The 27-year-old's current contract expires in 2026 and includes the option for an extra year, but La Dea intend to negotiate a new deal with the Nigeria international that would include a salary increase.
EXPERT TAKE
ESPN's Mark Ogden gives his verdict on Christian Pulisic possibly returning to the Premier League:
Pulisic is enjoying the best season of his career with Milan and seems to have found a place where he can thrive after a difficult time at Chelsea. Already this term he's got seven goals and four assists for the Rossoneri in all competitions, and in Serie A he's ranked fifth for chances created (24) and seventh for expected assists (2.11).
But as much as Pulisic is having a great season with Milan, I don't see any of those potential moves being a possibility -- certainly not in January.
Liverpool are stacked with attacking players, and their priority is to bolster Arne Slot's midfield having failed to sign Real Sociedad's Martín Zubimendi during the summer window.
And United, who like Liverpool have considered a move for Pulisic in the past, are just setting out under new coach Rúben Amorim and it's unlikely that the former Sporting CP coach has arrived at Old Trafford with the USMNT star at the top of his list of potential signings. But a bigger issue would be the fee -- United don't have the money spend €60m on a player with a chequered past in the Premier League.
West Ham? Unless Pulisic is desperate to give up the Champions League with one of Italy's biggest clubs for a Premier League relegation battle, you can forget this one.
