People think that a new Kylian Mbappé transfer ɾumоr will come up every 20 minutes or so this January. And sure enough, two days in, talk of his latest “nailed-on” exit from Paris Saint-Germain has the Mill spinning like a good. This time, Liverpool and Real Madrid are the first teams to look at the French winners’ window. Le Parisien, a French news source, says that Anfield officials and Mbappé’s old suitors in Madrid are “monitoring his situation” since he only has six months left on his deal and PSG has shown they are willing to sell. This one will keep going.
Manchester City is said to be interested in Leny Yoro, a young defender for Lille. There are a lot of big-spending teams in Europe interested in the 18-year-old because of how well he has played this season. The European winners are at the front of the line. But Lille wants to keep him and hopes that the £78m price tag will stop people from trying to sign Yoro. As if. United is also interested in Yoro, but only if he doesn’t think he’s ready for the best football in Europe yet.
Manchester City also wants to sign Joshua Kimmich, but it’s possible that Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in him more. The defender for Bayern Munich, who is 28 years old, will not be able to play after the summer.
As you sort through the day’s rumors, what should you do when you read that Todd Boehly “personally wants to sign a £120m star”? It is said that the co-owner of Chelsea wants the club to go all out for Victor Osimhen, if not now, then in the summer. The Nigerian scorer just signed a new deal that keeps him with Napoli until 2026, but that probably won’t stop the biggest and most shady clubs from wanting to sign him.
Because Cristian Romero is hurt, Tottenham wants to add more defense help, and the Daily Mail says that Radu Dragusin from Genoa could be a good fit for Ange Postecoglou. The 21-year-old Romanian joined Juventus as a professional player and would cost Spurs £25 million. Spurs are also interested in Conor Gallagher of Chelsea. Eric Dier, who played in 2016 and is wаnted by West Ham, could be going the other way.
The happy Hammers are said to be ready to get rid of Danny Ings, the scorer who has fallen behind in the London Stadium’s hierarchy. The Telegraph says Wolves is interested and wants to make a deal this month. Rodrigo Gomes, a 21-year-old Portuguese winger on loan from Braga and thought to be close to a £10 million deal for Gary O’Neil’s team.
Nottingham Forest wants to borrow the experienced goalie Keylor Navas back, which may have been caused by Matt Turner’s shaky play in the win over Manchester United. The new Forest boss, Nuno Espírito Santo, is interested in Navas, who is 37 years old and still plays for PSG. According to Football Insider, a deal could happen this month.
