Chelsea are the favourites to sign Barcelona ace Alejandro Balde in the near future.
Manchester United and Manchester City are 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 has been informed of “the whole process” of the takeover of Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
I was kept informed during the whole process. I know what is going on, but my focus is on the game.
I didn’t have any contact [with Sir Dave Brailsford] because the process wasn’t allowed, but I kept informed and said, I 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 looks at 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 appointed in October on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
The 38-year-old tactician controversially replaced John Eustace when the club were 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 dropped to 19th in the Championship.
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 the flexible midfielder, who remains alert on the home pitch.
Paulo Fonseca’s squad includes stars Nabil Bentaleb, Jonathan David, Samuel Umtiti and Gomes.
Tottenham have long been willing to bring in the centre-back in the January window, according to SunSport’s Jack Rosser.
Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven had formed a superb partnership but injury and suspension have exposed the lack of depth in defence within the squad.
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 Aussie has already been without summer signing Micky van de Ven, who was sidelined with his own hamstring injury during the 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in November.
Van de Ven recently said he could return in two weeks’ time, although Postecoglou showed that the match against Manchester United on January 14 was the earliest imaginable for the Dutchman.
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, it’s a “pure coincidence”: two legends showed up at Old Trafford for the 3-2 win 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 especially thrilled for Van der Sar following his health problems earlier this year.
Arsenal ace Eddie Nketiah will not be sold despite increasing interest from Premier League rivals, as per SunSport’s Alan Nixon and Joshua Hall.
Despite Nketiah’s limited minutes, the Gunners want him for their search for a name in Prem and their European commitments.
The centre-forward is still considered part of the squad to help the North Londoners keep fighting 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 been dealt a transfer blow in their attempts to sign Corinthians wonderkid Gabriel Moscardo.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona have all been connected to Moscardo for months.
But guru Fabrizio Romano has dealt a heavy blow to all the suitors in midfield.
Romano that Paris Saint-Germain have reached a £17m 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 threat to football despite the 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 involved in Manchester United’s transfer business after his 25 per cent takeover of the club.
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 in the process of being approved through the Premier League.
The same goes for manager 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 deal with PSG runs out in June, which means he can speak with clubs oversees come 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 selling the 25-year-old next month.
Tottenham will have to pay £50m for Chelsea star Conor Gallagher to SunSport’s Alan Nixon.
Gallagher remains at Stamford Bridge and has even captained the team at several events following injuries to Reece James and 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 need to sign a striker this summer. The club have not replaced Harry Kane, so pointing to a new striker is a great precedent and Solanke is being watched closely.
They have already sent scouts to keep an eye on him several times this season and will continue with him until 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 transfer window.
While the likes of Paqueta and Kudus have shone for the club, they are now focussed on bringing in the best young British talent.
If such a player can be created, he will evolve accordingly in the winter window.
Dutch journalist Mike Verweij has said that there is no chance of Ajax being able to sign 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 for 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 foreigner Stuart Pearce has issued a warning to the Gunners about one of their most sensible 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 his 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.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are looking to bid for Arthur Vermeeren in the January transfer window.
The Royal Antwerp midfielder has been on the Gunners’ radar.
Vermeeren, 18, will most likely be paid more than £25 million, but that could give them an edge over their north London rivals.
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.
