TRENDING RUMORS

- Mohamed Salah wants to sign a three-year contract to stay at Liverpool, reports Football Insider, with discussions regarding the 32-year-old winger's future now coming to a crucial stage. With the Egypt international out of contract at the end of the season, Salah wants a new deal that would run until 2028. It's an equally important time for Virgil van Dijk, with Nicolo Schira reporting that talks are progressing between the 33-year-old Dutch centre-back and Liverpool as they try to extend his contract until 2027.

- Juventus are prioritising Benfica's António Silva as they aim to sign a centre-back in January, reports Sky Sports Italia. They could look to bring in a second defender later in the winter window, but work has already started on making sure they get the 21-year-old. I Bianconeri will try to complete an expensive loan in the same style as the one that brought in Francisco Conceição from Porto in the summer.

- Calciomercato have offered an insight into the players AC Milan are looking at as they aim to sign a deputy for Theo Hernández and a midfielder to provide breathing space for Youssouf Fofana. For the first of those, they are focusing on Fiorentina's Fabiano Parisi, Club Brugge's Maxim De Cuyper and Lecce's Patrick Dorgu. For the latter, they are considering Chelsea's Carney Chukwuemeka, Red Bull Salzburg's Lucas Gourna-Douath, Real Betis' Johnny Cardoso and Torino's Samuele Ricci.

- Manchester United, Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain are the clubs showing the greatest interest in signing Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, reports TEAMtalk, with the 26-year-old likely to move at the end of the season rather than in January. It is added that the Red Devils could struggle to bring in the Sweden international due to a tense relationship with his agency, HCM Sports Management, following their failed attempt to sign Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

- Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, as reported by Sky Sports Deutschland. The 20-year-old is currently happy with the Bundesliga club but sees himself playing in the Premier League in the future, while Dortmund feel that he can potentially become a €100m player like Ousmane Dembélé and Jude Bellingham.
