Overnight, conflicting rumours regarding Kylian Mbappe’s future surfaced.
When his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in the summer, The Times had claimed that he was thinking of signing a free move to the Premier League.
Then, according to Foot Mercato, he had actually reached an agreement with Real Madrid, leaving Mbappe free to negotiate a pre-contract arrangement.
The Athletic, meanwhile, claims that Madrid’s offer is actually less than what they made for him in 2022.
It will take another six months before we have a clear answer regarding Mbappe’s future.
In an attempt to sign Michael Olise, Manchester United may extend an offer for Aaron Wan-Bissaka to return to Crystal Palace.
According to The Daily Star, the Red Devils are willing to pay Olise a player-plus-cash contract in an effort to attract him; that player is former Eagles defender Wan-Bissaka.
Wan-Bissaka joined Man United in the summer of 2019 for a fee of £50 million.
A setback has been given to Manchester United in their pursuit of Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo.
Manchester United expressed interest in Todibo throughout the summer, but he turned it down, saying he was conserving himself for the appropriate project.
Man Utd is still interested, but they won’t likely make a major purchase until the next transfer window.
They also have to deal with Nice being owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new minority owner.
Since then, Tottenham has made Todibo their primary goal for January; but, according to French publication RMC Sport, AC Milan has entered the race.
After Arsenal’s FA Cup dream was dashed by another blank, Mikel Arteta has conceded that his goal-averse club will not find its answers in the transfer window.
Luis Diaz’s late goal and an own goal by Jakub Kiwior pushed Liverpool into the FA Cup quarterfinals, punishing the Gunners for yet another game marked by wasted opportunities.
Eddie Nketiah spent the most of the 2-0 loss as Kai Havertz filled in for the injured Gabriel Jesus. Havertz had a night to forget.
Due to their persistent goalscoring problems, Arsenal has been connected to a number of transactions involving some of Europe’s best forwards, including Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney.
Speaking following the Arsenal loss at Emirates, however, manager Arteta acknowledged that the club’s finances will stay
Kylian Mbappe, a striker for Paris Saint-Germain, is reportedly considering a free transfer to the Premier League.
The Times claims that he is not impressed with Real Madrid’s attempt to coerce him into signing a pre-contract.
According to reports, Los Blancos offered the French forward until January 15th to come to an agreement.
Mbappe, 25, is said to have told friends that the La Liga leaders will not decide his future for him after this reportedly irritated him.
When asked lately about his future, Mbappe replied, “No,” when asked if he knew where he will be playing next season. I have a tonne of motivation for this year.
This is quite significant. Like I mentioned, we have titles.
According to talkSPORT, Tottenham and Genoa are still in talks as they try to sign Radu Dragusin this month.

Additionally, negotiations on a deal for Dragusin are still ongoing. It is anticipated that the player will relocate to north London prior to the winter transfer window closing.
Dragusin has made appearances in all 19 of Genoa’s Serie A games this year, tallying two goals.
