Serie A giants Juventus have initiated contact for Leon Goretzka as the race for the German midfielder's signature begins to heat up ahead of a potential free transfer this summer. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri have established initial ties with the player's entourage to explore the feasibility of a deal.
Manchester United are looking to improve the midfield unit with the signing of Marcos Llorente from Atletico Madrid. The 31-year-old midfielder has been an important player for Atletico Madrid, and he is capable of slating into multiple roles. He can operate in defence as well as in the midfield. He could be the ideal utility man for Manchester United. They are looking to add more quality and depth to the team as they look to fight for major trophies.
The 22-year-old French midfielder is a promising young player with a bright future, but he struggles for regular opportunities at the Spanish club. According to Fichajes, Liverpool are hoping to secure his services in the coming months. The Spanish club could be open to restructuring now after the exit of Xabi Alonso. The 22-year-old French talent could be allowed to leave the club, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can secure his signature.
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba. The 22-year-old Cameroonian International has impressed in the Premier League, and he is on the radar of Liverpool and Manchester United, as per TEAMtalk. Spurs are monitoring his situation closely, but a January move seems unlikely. The player will cost around 80-87 million. It seems that Tottenham are lining up a summer move for the talented young midfielder. They need more defensive steel and drive in the middle of the park.
Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi during the January transfer window. The 26-year-old Italian international does not have a future at the Italian club, and he needs to move on in order to play more often. Newcastle have been linked with the player in the past as well, but it seems that they have a clear opportunity to get the deal done this time around.
It's not news, but it's a fairly credible rumour. I've been told by multiple sources that he'll leave Roma in June and join Manchester United. I don't know if this has anything to do with the Zirkzee deal. He might have been included as a sort of counterpart. This remains to be seen, but what's certain is that Kone is very keen on the destination and it looks like he could join United in June.
Tottenham are reportedly planning a bold midfield signing as they seek to bolster depth ahead of the January transfer window. According to Fichajes, Spurs have set their sights on Luka Sucic, the talented young midfielder of Real Sociedad. With several midfield departures and injury concerns already putting strain on the squad, Tottenham see Sucic as a potential solution, and could move early to secure his services.
