Transfer News LIVE: Key Rumours from Premier League and Beyond

Latest updates on potential moves involving top clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and more, as the January window heats up.



Manchester United in Focus

Nottingham Forest are plotting a sensational swoop for Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho, according to reports from The Sun. The winger has been sidelined and could be available for a shock transfer.[1]

Manager Ruben Amorim has declared Kobbie Mainoo as the future of Manchester United, despite the 20-year-old's limited starts this season (12 appearances, one in League Cup). Mainoo, sidelined by a calf injury, is praised for versatility in midfield roles akin to Casemiro or Mason Mount.[2]

Suitors for exiled striker Marcus Rashford are eyeing a cut-price deal following Amorim's hardline stance on the forward.[4]

Liverpool and Other Big Moves

Bayern Munich remain hopeful of signing Liverpool's Luis Diaz after an initial £58.6m bid was dismissed. Meanwhile, Napoli's deal for Lorenzo Lucca has likely ended speculation over Darwin Nunez joining the Serie A champions.[1]

Brentford's Yoane Wissa wants to leave despite new contract talks, with interest from elsewhere amid Bryan Mbeumo potentially heading to Manchester United.[1]

Additional Rumours

  • Saudi Pro League eyes record bid for Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr.[1]
  • Xavi Simons recruits top agent for Premier League switch.[1]
  • Galatasaray targeting Man City's Ederson.[1]
  • Leeds United enquire about Christantus Uche.[1]

With United short-staffed due to injuries and AFCON, Amorim is reluctant to let players leave without replacements. Premier League clubs are active across the board, with live feeds tracking done deals and speculation.[3]
