Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Real Madrid star Rodrygo in this summer’s transfer window as a potential replacement for Luis Díaz.
According to Florian Plettenberg, the Brazilian winger is on the Reds’ shortlist should the Colombian depart Anfield in the ongoing transfer window.
Rodrygo, 24, has grown into a key figure for Madrid but could be tempted by a fresh challenge in the Premier League.
Talksport reports that Swedish striker Alexander Isak is demanding £300,000 per week to sign a new deal with Newcastle United. The 25-year-old forward enjoyed an impressive campaign and his wage demand reflects his growing stature.
Newcastle also appear keen to bolster their attack, but a £30 million bid for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa has been turned down, according to TBR Football.
The 28-year-old DR Congo international is on the radar at St. James’ Park, but Brentford are holding out for more.
Across Europe, Italian outfits Atalanta and Lazio are both monitoring Manchester United’s young Danish striker Rasmus Højlund, reports Footmercato. The 22-year-old’s future remains uncertain after an inconsistent first season at Old Trafford.
Nottingham Forest are reportedly displeased with Tottenham’s handling of their interest in Morgan Gibbs-White. According to the Daily Mail, Forest are now leaning towards selling the England midfielder, 25, to a different club altogether.
Chelsea could also be trimming their squad, with Fabrizio Romano revealing that Atlético Madrid have entered negotiations for 21-year-old centre-back Renato Veiga. The Blues are said to be seeking a fee in the region of £35 million for the Portuguese talent.
Everton are actively exploring options to reinforce their squad. The Athletic reports that the Toffees are keeping tabs on Bayern Munich’s 19-year-old Moroccan left-back Adam Aznou. Additionally, AS notes that Everton are interested in Atlético’s Samuel Lino, with the Spanish side open to offers for the 25-year-old winger.
Elsewhere, Wolves are close to completing double deals, as per The Telegraph. Fluminense’s Colombian winger Jhon Arias, 25, and Almería’s Spanish right-back Marc Pubill, 22, are both expected to join the Molineux outfit in the coming days.
Manchester United are also scouting future talent. The Sun claims the club is monitoring 19-year-old Dan Sinate, a promising left-back from French side Angers. However, any move is unlikely to materialise before January.
