TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are among the Premier League clubs contemplating a January move for Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen, Sport newspaper reports. While the 33-year-old is on track to return to action from injury in November, he’s unlikely to get minutes at Barça thanks to the early-season form of summer signing form Joan Garcíawho is set to return at around the same time as Ter Stegen following knee surgery. That presents a problem for Ter Stegen, who is keen to get minutes under his belt ahead of the World Cup next summer. The Germany international could entertain the idea of a loan switch or permanent move in an effort to play first-team football. United summer signing Senne Lammens kept a clean sheet on his debut in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Sunderlandbut the opportunity to sign a keeper of Ter Stegen’s quality and experience could be impossible to turn down.
– Real Madrid are plotting a £130 million summer move for Manchester City defensive midfielder Rodaccording to the Daily Star. City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak is keen to keep hold of the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner, but there is a growing feeling that the 29-year-old Spain international could be tempted by a return to his hometown. City are keen to open talks with Rodri about his future and would be willing to improve his contract both financially, and beyond 2027.
– Mexico youth international Gilberto Mora is being heavily linked with a move to Barcelona, according to Sports World.

Real Madrid, Manchester City and Ajax are also interested.
– Bayern Munich are planning for life after goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and have added AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan to the top of their short list, according to TEAMtalk. Maignan, 30, is contracted to the Rossoneri until 2026 and so far talks attempting to get him to sign a contract extension have failed, which means he can talk to foreign clubs in January. Maignan could even leave the Italian giants on a free transfer next summer if club representatives are unable to persuade the Frenchman to stay at the San Siro.
– Arsenal are keen to follow William Saliba‘s recent contract extension by convincing Bukayo from to secure his long-term future at the north London club, too, according to the Mirror. Saka, like Saliba, is in the final two years of his contract, but the Gunners believe the 24-year-old will stay at the club beyond 2027.
