TRENDING RUMORS
- Al Hilal are preparing a "huge bid" to sign Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah in the summer, Nicolo Schira has revealed. The 32-year-old, who is yet to extend his Liverpool contract beyond this summer, has also been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain in recent months. However, Saudi giants Al Hilal are pushing hard to sign Salah on a free transfer later this year, and are willing to offer the winger a massive three-year contract to get the deal over the line.
- Real Madrid are considering a move to sign Aston Villa's Jhon Durán this month, amid strong interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Al Nassr, as per Footmercato. Earlier this week, it was reported that Saudi side Al Nassr were preparing a bid for the 21-year-old of around £80m -- with Villa having rejected a £57m offer from West Ham earlier in the window. While it's unclear whether Madrid will follow up on their interest, Durán is reported to be giving some thought to the idea of moving to Saudi this winter. The Colombia international has scored seven goals in 19 Premier league games this season.
- Contrary to reports, Real Madrid are not considering a loan move for striker Endrick this month, according to Fabrizio Romano. Despite struggling for regular first-team minutes this season, Endrick, 18, is expected to remain at Santiago Bernabéu until the end of the campaign. According to Romano, the plan is for Endrick to remain with Real Madrid -- to "develop and grow" -- under coach Carlo Ancelotti. Endrick has scored four goals in 18 matches in all competitions this season since joining from Palmeiras last summer.
- Victor Boniface is on the radar of several Saudi Pro League clubs, Florian Plettenberg reports. The Nigerian striker recently extended his contract to 2029 at Bayer Leverkusen, but that hasn't dissuaded some Saudi clubs. However, the Bundesliga champions would demand at least €50 million in a potential deal. Boniface, 24, has scored 20 goals in 33 Bundesliga games for the reigning Bundesliga champions after joining in summer 2023 from Union St.-Gilloise.
- Manchester City are exploring the possibility of signing Bayern Munich full-back Joshua Kimmich this month, Football Insider reports. The Premier League champions have sealed January deals for Omar Marmoush, Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov, but their winter business might not be done. Kimmich, 29, reportedly is deciding where his future lies, having entered the final six months of his Bayern contract. The Germany international could be signed by City to help cover for midfielder Rodri, who likely will miss the rest of the season due to an injury.
