United Target US Duo Under Pochettino
Manchester United have added Monaco striker Folarin Balogun and Villarreal defender Alex Freeman to their target list. Monaco forward Balogun, aged 25, and Villarreal defender Freeman, aged 22, are seen as options for the January transfer window.
This comes after Mauricio Pochettino agreed a deal to become the next manager at Old Trafford, replacing Michael Carrick. Both players have worked with Pochettino for the United States national team. United have monitored Freeman for a while, while Balogun previously said he will look for a move in January after a proposed summer transfer to Everton fell through.
Bruno Fernandes Rejects Contract Offer
Away from incoming moves, club captain Bruno Fernandes has turned down a second contract offer from Manchester United. The 32 year old midfielder was dissatisfied with the latest proposal from the club.
Negotiations over his salary and contract length are set to continue. Fernandes enters the final six months of his contract in January, which allows him to negotiate a pre contract agreement with teams outside the Premier League.
Big Moves Across Europe
Chelsea right back Malo Gusto is attracting interest from Manchester City and Manchester United. The 23 year old player has made three Premier League starts this season, and Chelsea want 75 million pounds before letting him go.
Liverpool are watching Brighton defender Luka Vuskovic as a long term replacement for Virgil van Dijk. The 19 year old has no release clause, and a deal could cost around 100 million euros. Meanwhile, Real Madrid stay interested in Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, aged 24.
Other Transfer Developments
Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface wants to leave his club in January. Elsewhere, Barcelona will not listen to offers for midfielder Gavi, while Bournemouth plan to keep Alex Scott, Rayan, and Junior Kroupi during the winter window.
Juventus are looking for a new left back, targeting Destiny Udogie, Alejandro Balde, and Tyrick Mitchell. Fulham are tracking Real Betis winger Rodrigo Riquelme, while Napoli are keen on Monza forward Gustavo Varela.
