"If we are not sure, it's better not to bring anyone and to work with the players that we have.

That is clear for me."Maybe I should be different like so many managers, but that is my thinking and I think it's the thinking of the board that we cannot do the same mistakes that we did in the past and we need to survive these moments because we have players coming from international [teams] and from Europe."Ruben Amorim speaking at a Manchester United press conference (Image:Ash Donelon/Manchester United via Getty Images)15:51Scott TrotterMasuaku saleSunderland boss Regis Le Bris is open to selling Arthur Masuaku in January."Probably the most competitive part of our squad is the back line,” Le Bris said. We had a conversation together just before AFCON and we agreed in this transfer window, we will have the opportunity to discuss, but it doesn’t mean that he will leave.“We still have to be aligned, so if the collective and individual are aligned, we can go like that, and if it’s not the case, let’s see."15:23Scott TrotterDeal doneThey aren't wasting time in Spain.— Atlético de Madrid (@atletienglish) December 24, 2025 15:17Tom VictorMarmoush's future in focusWith Manchester City emerging as the favourites for Antoine Semenyo, questions are being asked over Omar Marmoush's future.The Egyptian, who only arrived in January, could end up as the odd one out - especially if Semenyo arrives and stakes a claim while Marmoush is still away at the Africa Cup of Nations.He had plenty of Premier League interest before choosing City, and Tottenham - who had earlier explored a move for Marmoush's team-mate Savinho - have been tentatively linked.Omar Marmoush scored in Egypt's AFCON opener (Image:FRANCK FIFE / AFP via Getty Images)14:38Tom VictorLiverpool learn Sorloth priceLiverpool will have to part with more than £30m if they want Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth, according to reports in Spain.Norwegian frontman Sorloth had emerged as a potential loan signing after Alexander Isak's injury, though a permanent approach never looked likely.Indeed, with Isak expected back in the spring, Arne Slot may decide to stick with his current attacking crop and reinforce in other areas.Alexander Sorloth won't be allowed to leave Atletico Madrid on the cheap (Image:Guillermo Martinez/NurPhoto via Getty Images)14:06Tom VictorMonaco to decline Fati optionMonaco will pass on their £12m option to sign loanee Ansu Fati, according to reports on the continent.The Spanish international has scored six times in 14 appearances but has fallen down the pecking order since Adi Hutter was replaced in the dugout by Sebastien Pocognoli and recently picked up an injury.Fati, who previously spent time on loan with Brighton, is under contract with parent club Barcelona until 2028.Ansu Fati watching Monaco vs PSG (Image:Jean Catuffe/Getty Images)13:40Tom VictorCan Liverpool sign Igor Thiago?Brentford star Igor Thiago is being monitored by Liverpool, according to CaughtOffside.The Brazilian is the second highest scorer in the Premier League this term, with 11 goals.Liverpool are assessing their options after an injury to Alexander Isak but Brentford don't appear in any rush to part with their leading man.13:13Tom VictorRoma want second Premier League starJoshua Zirkzee isn't the only Premier League player on Roma's radar.The Giallorossi are keen to bring the Dutch forward back to Serie A from Manchester United, but they also have eyes on Spurs defender Radu Dragusin according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.Former Genoa centre-back Dragusin hasn't played this season after suffering an ACL injury last term but was back on the bench for Tottenham's weekend defeat to Liverpool.Tottenham Hotspur's Romanian defender #06 Radu Dragusin attends a team training session at the Tottenham Training centre in Enfield, north of London, on November 3, 2025, on the eve of their UEFA Champions League league phase football match against Copenhagen.
