Manchester United Eye Nico Paz Move
Manchester United are keeping close tabs on Como midfielder Nico Paz ahead of a potential move next summer. The 22 year old caught United's attention after scoring twice and adding an assist against them in the UEFA Champions League last month.
The arrival of Mauricio Pochettino as manager could work in United's favor as they try to sign his fellow Argentine. However, Real Madrid still hold an 80 million euro option to buy the midfielder back in 2027. United are also expected to search for a new defender and a striker when the January window opens.
Chelsea Target Jules Kounde For January
Chelsea are weighing up a January offer for Barcelona defender Jules Kounde. The Blues view the 28 year old as a potential replacement for Malo Gusto. Barcelona are open to selling the France international to help fund their own transfer plans.
While clubs in Saudi Arabia are interested, Kounde prefers to stay in Europe. A move to the Premier League and living in London both appeal to the defender.
Defenders In High Demand
Liverpool and Bayern Munich are watching Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch. The 20 year old plays both at center back and right back, which earned him a spot in the Germany squad. However, a move to England is not expected to be his next step.
Real Madrid, Brighton, and Everton are keeping tabs on Atletico Mineiro center back Vitao. Brighton plan to make an opening offer of 14 million euros in January for the 18 year old. That offer is below his 20 million euro release clause. Negotiations over a new contract with his club have stalled.
More Transfer News Around Europe
Bayer Leverkusen are holding advanced talks with attacking midfielder Ibrahim Maza over a new contract until 2031. The proposed deal has no release clause and raises his annual gross salary to around 4 million euros plus bonuses. PSG had been heavily linked with a January move for him.
Brighton defender Maxim De Cuyper is valued at around 60 million euros, with Liverpool, Arsenal, and PSG among the clubs tracking him. Leeds United are aiming to sign Stuttgart midfielder Bilal El Khannouss in January, while Ghanaian teenager Latif Issman will join Real Madrid in 2027 on a three year contract.
