Chelsea are the favorites to sign Barcelona ace Alejandro Balde in the near future.
Manchester United and Manchester City are also interested in Balde.
However, Barça will sell the whole thing soon.
But the Blaugrana’s monetary difficulties could force them to take advantage of the 20-year-old’s release clause.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was informed during the “whole process” of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s takeover.
I was kept informed during the whole process. I know what is going on, but my focus is on the game.
I’ve not had contact [with Sir Dave Brailsford] because it wasn’t allowed during the process, but I kept informed like I said, know what they want, they want to work with us and I want to work with him.
Your organization has a lot of experience, so I’m looking forward to it.
SunSport analyzes five of the characteristics that Sir Jim Ratcliffe should sign for Manchester United:
Birmingham enthusiasts have called for the sacking of Wayne Rooney two months after he took up his managerial role.
Rooney was named in October on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
The 38-year-old tactician controversially replaced John Eustace when the club was fifth in the league in a bid for promotion.
Since then, the Manchester United legend has witnessed a massive drop in form.
The former D. C. United manager lost 8 of his thirteen games to the Blues, who then fell to 19th in the league.
The most recent defeat came at the hands of Stoke City at St Andrew’s.
Former Manchester United ace Jesse Lingard was presented with a lifeline through Lille, where he would be reunited with former teammate Angel Gomes.
Lingard has been a club since leaving Nottingham Forest in the summer.
According to The Mirror, the French giants are interested in snapping up the versatile midfielder, who continues to keep himself sharp by training at local pitches.
Paulo Fonseca’s squad includes stars Nabil Bentaleb, Jonathan David, Samuel Umtiti and Gomes.
Tottenham have long been keen to add another central defender during the January window, reorts SunSport’s Jack Rosser.
Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven had formed a very good pairing, but injuries and suspensions revealed the lack of intensity in defence within the team.
Spurs Romero to a 3-match suspension for his sending off in Chelsea’s defeat and Spurs all 3 matches.
The Argentine’s hamstring injury further shows the desire to invest in the full-back, with Spurs targeting Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo, Postecoglou claims this has not replaced his plans.
Tottenham have suffered another blow after Cristian Romero was out for five weeks, SunSport’s Jack Rosser reports.
The Spurs defender suffered a hamstring injury in the 2-1 win over Everton and was sent off at half-time.
Romero then sent in a CT scan that showed a hamstring strain and some other massive loss in the back of Spurs boss Angel Postecoglou.
The Australian was no longer able to sign Micky van de Ven this summer, who was ruled out due to his own hamstring injury in the 4-1 loss to Chelsea in November.
Van de Ven said recently he could be back within two weeks, though Postecoglou confirmed the game against Manchester United on January 14 was the earliest the Dutchman could return.
Tottenham ace Cristian Romero has suffered a hamstring injury.
And Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed Romero will be out for up to five weeks.
Postecoglou has suffered an injury crisis this season, which has depleted his defensive line, so he could be just a defensive reinforcement in the January move window.
Manchester United fans can’t believe it was “sheer coincidence” two legends turned up at Old Trafford for the 3-2 victory over Aston Villa.
This comes just days after Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought 25 per cent of United.
Many Red Devils enthusiasts were almost as pleased to see Edwin van der Sar and Robin van Persie as they were to see their comeback.
And many of them feel the duo is vying for Ratcliffe’s roles.
Fans were excited for Van der Sar following his physical issues earlier this year.
Arsenal ace Eddie Nketiah will not be sold despite growing interest from Premier League rivals, according to Alan Nixon and SunSport’s Joshua Hall.
Despite Nketiah’s limited minutes, the Gunners want him for their search for a name in Prem and their European commitments.
The center forward is still considered part of the team to help the north Londoners continue to fight for their first league title in 20 years.
On top of that, the England foreigner offers the option to rotate as Arsenal hope to progress further in the Champions League.
The 24-year-old’s exploits have gone through other big clubs, and Prem’s clubs are developing interest in a potential move.
Reports have connected Brentford and Crystal Palace with Nketiah with others who are also said to be enthusiastic.
Premier League clubs have scored a coup in their bid to sign Corinthians prodigy Gabriel Moscardo.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona have been linked with Moscardó for months.
But guru Fabrizio Romano has dealt a heavy blow to all the suitors in midfield.
Romano reports Paris Saint-Germain have agreed a £17million deal to sign the 18-year-old.
The deal will also see Corinthians earn £1. 7 million in bonuses, with the Brazil Under-23 team flying to Paris soon to complete the transfer.
Liverpool legend John Barnes insists Saudi Arabia poses no risk to football despite recent star signings.
Barnes podcast In the Zone:
Saudi Arabia does not play football in any way. The players who pass through there are all at the end of their careers.
Pelé and Franz Beckenbauer went to America in the 1970s and David Beckham did the same 30 years later. Forget the ramifications and political justifications: they were because they were at the end of their careers.
It would be a different story if Saudi Arabia had the most productive young players in the world. Only a handful of players have been there, and they probably wouldn’t be challenging anything yet financially. Ruben Neves is the exception, but he may just be leaving. back in the future.
Saudi Arabia wants to make a statement by using football to raise their profile. However, their teams only have two or three superstars in them and they’re never going to challenge football at all.
The Saudis could seriously challenge golf, but their presence in football is neither good nor bad. That’s smart for them, but it probably wouldn’t have any effect on the game as a whole, other than increasing player salaries.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is already in Manchester United’s moving business after his takeover of the club for 25 cents.
According to movement expert Fabrizio Romano, United will have to consult Ratcliffe’s INEOS in relation to any and all player moves.
And this while the Red Devils’ investment is still undergoing approval through the Premier League.
The same goes for coach Erik ten Hag and sporting director John Murtough.
Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe won’t be leaving the French champions in the January transfer window.
Mbappe’s current contract with PSG expires in June, meaning he will be able to speak to clubs in the new year.
The idea is that the Parisians would be open to offers for their striker.
But L’Equipe reports that PSG are receptive to the idea of promoting the 25-year-old next month.
Tottenham will have to splash £50million for Chelsea star Conor Gallagher, as per SunSport’s Alan Nixon.
Gallagher continues to impress at Stamford Bridge and has even captained the side on multiple occasions after injuries to Reece James as well as Ben Chilwell.
But the midfielder could leave this summer, with a chain of moves that would offer Spurs the budget if Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is sold to Fulham or Bayern Munich.
The English foreigner is also not the only Chelsea youngster for whom the North Londoners are a deal.
Tottenham and Newcastle have been suggested by the decision of Crystal Palace ace Marc Guehi, who has also risen through the ranks at Stamford Bridge.
Spurs love Guehi, while Newcastle have also conducted an investigation.
Tottenham are keeping an eye on Bournemouth star Dominic Solanke, who extended his goalscoring run against Fulham, as they look to sign a striker this summer, reports SunSport’s Cosmo Teare.
Spurs want to sign a striker in the summer. The club hasn’t replaced Harry Kane so recruiting a new forward is a big priority and Solanke is someone they are closely monitoring.
They’ve sent scouts to watch him already several times this season, and they will continue to track him into the New Year.
He ticks a lot of boxes for Spurs, and Bournemouth know that if he continues to show the kind of form he is in, they will struggle to stop other clubs sniffing him out. They prepare to receive offers.
West Ham will not be looking to bring foreign skills into the move window.
While Paqueta and Kudus have shined for the club, they are now focused on recruiting young British talent.
If such a player can be created, he will evolve accordingly in the winter window.
Dutch journalist Mike Verweij said there is no chance of Ajax simply signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Although the Dutch giants are interested in the player, he believes it would only be to loan him out.
Tottenham’s position is clear: they are in a position to pay attention to offers, but only for the player’s permanent move.
Ange Postecoglou has given the green light to the sale of Eric Dier.
The manager does not see the player as part of his long-term plans and will be willing to listen to offers.
Dier, now 29, joined the Tottenham Pochettino era when he signed for £4m from Sporting Lisbon.
Former England international, Stuart Pearce, has issued a warning to The Gunners about one of their key targets.
“The most important thing is that Toney’s age can be taken into account. People need price for money. In fact, before he was immobilized he shot very well and played brilliantly for Brentford.
“I think he’s an exceptional player, but I don’t know if what would be charged to get him out of Brentford is a smart charge for money. Brentford will need maximum productive value for him as he has sat down with the player for up to nine months without him kicking a ball.
With her departure from Man City all but confirmed, Ange Postecoglou is a move for Kalvin Phillips.
The 28-year-old, who signed for City for £45m, has had very little time since signing for the champions.
Tottenham would like to know what kind of value Guardiola’s team would need for the dwindling talent.
The MLS team is testing the possible signing of Marcos Rojo from Boca Juniors.
Lionel Messi approached his Argentina teammate to see if it would be a move he would consider.
At 33 years of age, the defender could be the last step in his football career.
Ange Postecoglou’s side will make an offer for Arthur Vermeeren in the January transfer window.
The Royal Antwerp midfielder has been on the radar of The Gunners recently.
18-year-old Vermeeren is likely to cost in excess of £25m but they could get one over on their North London rivals in the process.
Jürgen Klopp’s men have enquired about the availability of Fluminense defender Nino.
The difficult defender has been for William Saliba in terms of his taste for the game.
It is possible that the 27-year-old defender will be signed for just £6m to solve the Reds’ injury problems in defence.
Man Utd are reported to be willing to loan out Jadon Sancho when the transfer window opens in January.
Ange Postecoglou is a big fan of the player and might be interested.
Sancho’s former club Borussia Dortmund have been linked with the player of late, but it will all depend on the salary contribution the Red Devils want for the player.
