  • Fresh Amad contract: How long is the Ivorian's new deal at Man United?

    Manchester United's Amad Diallo celebrates on December 15, 2024

    Manchester United have announced that key forward Amad Diallo has signed a new long-term contract with the 20-time English champions, ending the recent speculation surrounding his future.

    The 22-year-old has been in impressive form for the Red Devils during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring six goals and registering seven assists in 28 appearances, including three goals and six assists in 18 Premier League outings.

    The Ivory Coast international's previous deal at Old Trafford had been due to expire this summer, meaning that as of the start of January, he had been free to speak to interested clubs over a pre-contract.

    However, Man United head coach Ruben Amorim said at the end of last week that Amad was close to penning a new contract at Old Trafford, and the fresh agreement has been confirmed.

    PSG defender set for Villa move? Latest January transfer rumours

    Aston Villa have reportedly been handed the opportunity to sign Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Milan Skriniar this January in order to cover for the injured Pau Torres.

    Torres broke his metatarsal at the end of 2024, and manager Unai Emery has revealed the Spaniard will miss the next two months of action, leaving Villa without a key defender during a crucial part of the season.

    There will be fears about leaving themselves short though, given the injury history of Tyrone Mings and Diego Carlos, who will now tussle for a starting spot in Torres's absence.

    To alleviate those concerns, the Daily Mail claim that PSG's out-of-favour defender could move to Villa Park this month.

    Loan spell cut short: Is 21-year-old now an option for Man United boss Amorim?

    Joe Hugill's loan spell at Wigan Athletic has been terminated, with the forward heading back to parent club Manchester United.

    The 21-year-old made the move to Wigan on loan last summer and had been due to spend the entirety of the 2024-25 campaign with the League One outfit, but his time at the club has been cut short.

    Hugill made 18 appearances for Wigan, scoring five times and registering one assist, and the League One club's head coach Shaun Maloney said that it was a "budget-related decision" to send him back to Old Trafford.

    "It's a budget-related decision really," Maloney told Wigan Today. "I think he's done really well here, I've really enjoyed working with Joe, and I think there's even more development in Joe.

    Arsenal's attack weakens again as Brazilian winger leaves on loan

    Arsenal winger Marquinhos has joined Brazilian outfit Cruzeiro on loan for the remainder of the season, the Gunners have confirmed.

    The 21-year-old had only just returned from a temporary spell with Fluminense during the 2024 Brasileiro season, where he registered two goals and two assists in 29 matches across all competitions.

    However, rather than re-integrate Marquinhos into his first-team squad, Mikel Arteta has sanctioned another loan exit for the winger, his fourth since joining the Gunners in a £3m deal from Sao Paulo in 2022.

    On Thursday afternoon, Arsenal announced that Marquinhos had been swiftly sent back to his homeland with Cruzeiro, where he will remain until the conclusion of the Brasileiro season in December.

    Incoming at Old Trafford? Brentford forward 'wanted by Man United in £42m deal'

    Manchester United are reportedly willing to pay €50m (£42m) for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, but any deal for the Frenchman will likely have to wait until this summer's transfer window.

    The 25-year-old has been in excellent form for the Bees during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring 13 goals and registering three assists in 20 appearances in the Premier League, and there is currently a host of speculation surrounding his future.

    Mbeumo's existing deal with Thomas Frank's side is due to expire in June 2026, although Brentford crucially have the option to extend his contract for a further 12 months, placing them in a strong position when it comes to his future.

    Man United are one of a number of clubs said to be interested, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle United also thought to have placed the forward firmly on their radar.

    Brighton 'keeping tabs' on in-demand Liverpool midfielder

    Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott is reportedly receiving interest during the January transfer window.

    Having moved to Anfield in July 2019, Elliott has now spent five-and-a-half years at Anfield without ever holding down a regular starting spot.

    A total of 66 starts and 62 substitute appearances have been made in all competitions, his game time requiring context due to his age and injury issues.

    Nevertheless, since recovering from a broken ankle for the start of December, just 138 minutes of football have been accumulated across eight appearances with 90 minutes coming during an EFL Cup tie at Southampton.

    Man City, Liverpool learn asking price of Bayern winger Sane?

    Liverpool and Manchester City have reportedly learned the asking price of Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane.

    The 28-year-old has enjoyed a hugely successful four-and-a-half year stint at the Allianz Arena, contributing 53 goals and 51 assists from his 194 appearances in all competitions.

    However, the Germany international has now entered the final six months of his contract, putting Bayern at risk of losing the versatile attacker on a free transfer.

    While it is plausible that Bayern's hierarchy may reject all advances during the January window, they may have to consider any suitable offers.

    "Crying out for a winger" - Is Rashford the answer to Arsenal's attacking woes?

    Arsenal should not hesitate to overpay for a top target in the January transfer window, but signing Manchester United's Marcus Rashford will not be a solution to their attacking woes, according to Gunners expert Charles Watts.

    Mikel Arteta and co took a risk in the summer transfer window, opting against a permanent signing up front in favour of striking big-money deals for Riccardo Calafiori, David Raya and Mikel Merino.

    Such a move had yielded mixed results so far; the Gunners' total of 39 Premier League goals is the third-best in the division, but their attacking weaknesses were exposed in Tuesday's 2-0 EFL Cup first-leg loss to Newcastle United, where they failed to score despite posting an Expected Goals tally of 3.76.

    Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz both wasted gilt-edged chances in that game, which Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka both missed due to injury, and Watts believes that the Gunners should have no qualms about paying a little bit extra to land a top target this month.

    Premier League duo ready to offer top-flight return to Iheanacho?

    Sevilla forward Kelechi Iheanacho has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for at two Premier League clubs.

    Despite having helped Leicester City earn an immediate return to the Premier League during 2023-24, Iheanacho departed the King Power Stadium on a free transfer in the summer.

    After a seven-year stint in the East Midlands, the Nigeria international opted for a new challenge in Spain with Sevilla, the expectation being that he would make an impact in La Liga.

    Instead, Iheanacho has failed to contribute a goal or assist in 401 minutes of league football spread across nine appearances, last making a 45-minute outing versus Celta Vigo on December 14.

    Potter's first signing? West Ham emerge as 'shock contenders' for Man United man

    West Ham United have reportedly joined the race for the signature of Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford.

    The Hammers, now managed by Graham Potter following the sacking of Julen Lopetegui, will likely consider bolstering their attacking options as a result of injuries sustained to key players.

    Michail Antonio is facing a lengthy period on the sidelines after sustaining a broken leg, that required surgery, in a car accident last month.

    West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen, meanwhile, suffered a fractured foot in his team's 5-0 defeat to Liverpool on December 29 and is eyeing a return at some stage next month.

    Man City want Marmoush 'immediately', Frankfurt's asking price 'revealed'

    Manchester City have reportedly discovered the asking price of top transfer target Omar Marmoush after informing Eintracht Frankfurt that they want to sign the attacker 'immediately'.

    The Citizens have been heavily linked with the 25-year-old since the January transfer window opened, with Pep Guardiola believed to be keen to bolster his options up front.

    Man City have relied heavily on Erling Haaland's goals so far this season; the Norwegian has scored 21 times in all competitions and is some way ahead of Phil Foden, who is next on the list with just five goals.

    Marmoush has been identified as a leading target by the Citizens having recorded 18 goals and 12 assists in 24 matches for Frankfurt across all tournaments so far this season, netting 13 goals and registering eight assists in 15 Bundesliga appearances.

    Red Devils reunion? Man United to replace Bayindir with former goalkeeper?

    Manchester United have reportedly identified a former goalkeeper as a potential replacement for Altay Bayindir.

    The 26-year-old joined the Red Devils from Fenerbahce for around £4.3m in the summer of 2023 and has since acted as an understudy to first-choice shot-stopper Andre Onana.

    Bayindir has subsequently been limited to only four first-team appearances for Man United across all competitions, including three outings in this season's EFL Cup.

    The agent of the 10-cap Turkey international recently confirmed that his client "had offers from many European clubs and the Premier League" at the beginning of this season, but he opted to stay at Man United and still wants to remain at the club.

    Chelsea 'prepared' to swoop for Mainoo in January if key decision is made

    Chelsea could reportedly swoop for Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo as early as this month amidst uncertainty over his future at Old Trafford.

    Mainoo is widely regarded as one of the Red Devils' brightest prospects and has made 52 senior appearances since and including his debut for the club in January 2023.

    However, surprising reports have emerged this week claiming that Man United will reluctantly consider selling the 19-year-old, as well as other first-team stars, as part of their efforts to comply with financial rules.

    Mainoo's status as an academy graduate means that any sale from Man United would be represented as pure accounting profit under the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability rules.

    First of how many? Wolves announce signing of defender in £16.6m deal

    Wolverhampton Wanderers have announced that they have signed Reims defender Emmanuel Agbadou.

    Upon arriving at Molineux in December, new head coach Vitor Pereira made it clear that he was eager to sign at least one new-centre-back during the January transfer window.

    That led to the Wolves' recruitment team quickly setting about trying to acquire the services of Agbadou, who has impressed during his stint in Ligue 1.

    Although the deal has been in the offing for over a week, it took until Wednesday evening for visa issues to be resolved, allowing the Ivory Coast international to finally fly to the West Midlands.

    Ipswich on verge of £22m signing? Latest transfer news and rumours today

    Ipswich Town have reportedly agreed a deal with fellow Premier League club Aston Villa to sign winger Jaden Philogene.

    The 22-year-old returned to Villa Park last summer after a buy-back clause in his contract at Championship club Hull City - where he recorded 12 goals and six assists in 32 games last season - was activated.

    Philogene was hoping to feature regularly under Unai Emery this term, but he has been restricted to just four starts and 11 substitute outings in all competitions.

    Ipswich missed out on signing Philogene last summer, but journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that the Tractor Boys have now agreed to sign the winger on a permanent deal for around £22m.

    AC Milan or Juventus? What's the latest on Rashford's future?

    Marcus Rashford's brother and agent reportedly met with both AC Milan and Juventus on Wednesday, with the forward widely expected to leave Manchester United before the end of the January transfer window.

    The Englishman did not train with the Red Devils on Wednesday due to the illness which also kept him out against Liverpool last weekend, but he has not featured in the Premier League since early December.

    Man United head coach Ruben Amorim initially left Rashford out due to concerns over his training performances, while his general behaviour around the Carrington base also contributed to the forward being overlooked.

    In an ideal world, the Red Devils are said to be looking to sell Rashford for £40m this month, but his wages, which are in the region of £315,000 a week, make an exit incredibly complicated.

    Personal terms 'agreed': Man City 'advancing fast' to wrap up £34m signing

    Manchester City have reportedly opened talks to sign Palmeiras defender Vitor Reis this month.

    The Citizens are planning to bolster Pep Guardiola's small squad in the January transfer window and defensive reinforcements are thought to be high on the agenda.

    Reigning Premier League champions City, currently down in sixth place, have been hit hard by injuries this term and have been without at least one of their four centre-back options - Ruben Dias, John Stones, Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake - during their torrid run of just three victories in 15 games across all competitions.

    It is understood that Man City are keen to reduce the age profile of a team that has become the fourth oldest in the Premier League this season, with three of the four aforementioned centre-back options aged 29 or older.

    'Done deal' - Real Madrid 'secure signing' of highly-rated teenager

    Real Madrid have reportedly officially completed the signing of Lamini Fati from Leganes.

    The 18-year-old's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with a number of clubs believed to have expressed an interest in his signature.

    However, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Los Blancos have secured his services, with the Spanish and European champions agreeing a €100k (£83,900) fee for the teenager.

    The fee is believed to have been close to the buy-out figure in his contract, and he is expected to begin his career with Real Madrid's third team with a view to progressing to Real Madrid Castilla.
