TRENDING RUMORS
– Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid have joined the race for Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, according to The Daily Mail. The LaLiga giants are reportedly among a host of clubs in the Premier League looking at the 20-year-old after he slipped down the pecking order at Old Trafford and has yet to make an appearance this season, with discussions at Madrid ongoing over whether they will make a season-long loan move. Los Blancos are expected to step up their search for a midfielder after parting ways with Dani Ceballos, and Diario AS reports that Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, 21, is also on their shortlist.
– Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is interested in a move to MLS or the Saudi Pro League next year, reports The Daily Mail. It is reported that the 30-year-old Portugal international is keen to stay put for one more season ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but will then be willing to listen to offers to leave Old Trafford. Fernandes has already turned down a lucrative switch to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal this summer, and has a contract until 2027.

Tottenham Hotspur are among the multiple teams interested in signing Marseille midfielder Adrien Rabiot, according to L’Equipe. Rabiot, 30, was placed on the transfer list after a fight with a teammate and Spurs could soon make an offer to secure his signature ahead of the deadline as they have failed with numerous other targets. Gianluca Di Marzio says that AC Milan are also one of the sides looking at Rabiot, who enjoyed a bright spell in Ligue 1 last season after scoring nine goals while assisting another four in 29 league appearances.
– Manchester United want a £50m transfer fee to let winger Alejandro Garnacho leave, according to The Guardian. The 21-year-old is a priority for Chelsea, but there have been some difficulties during negotiations between the two clubs as we head into the final days of the window, with the Blues only willing to make an offer worth £35m. United maintain that their valuation should be met due to the deals involving both Noni Madueke to Arsenal (£48m) and Anthony Elanga to Newcastle (£52m), with belief that Garnacho is of similar quality.
– Talks between Tottenham and Galatasaray over a deal for midfielder Yves Bissouma are ongoing, reports The Telegraph. Bissouma, 28, has struggled to work his way into the plans of new manager Thomas Frank, who excluded him from the Super Cup squad to face Paris Saint-Germain for being late several times, and it is reported that an agreement is now close with the Super Lig club over a loan move. Spurs started on-loan Bayern Munich midfielder João Palhinha in the 2-0 win over Manchester City on Saturday.
