TRENDING RUMORS
- Liverpool view Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise as a "dream" option for the future, according to Florian Plettenberg. However, the Sky Sports Deutschland reporter adds that there is no planned offer from the Premier League champions for the 23-year-old at this stage. Bayern are not willing to open to talks regarding the France international, who doesn't have a release clause and isn't inclined to leave the Bavarians. The Reds are instead focused on AFC Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo.
- Arsenal are "closely monitoring" Elche midfielder Rodrigo Mendoza and are weighing up a future move for the 20-year-old, the Daily Telegraph reports. The Spain under-21 international is wanted by several clubs following a strong start to the season with the newly-promoted side. The Gunners have been tracking Mendoza's progress closely, who has a €20 million release clause in his contract. As things stand, he is more likely to leave Elche next summer, rather than in January.
- There is "concrete interest" in Harry Kane from Barcelona, according to BILD reporter Christian Falk. The Bayern Munich striker has been in the form of his life this season, having already scored 14 goals in 11 Bundesliga matches. With Barca looking to replace the outgoing Robert Lewandowski next summer, Kane is one of several strikers on the Spanish club's shortlist. As per Falk, no talks have taken place at this stage between Barca and the player's representatives.
- Chelsea are looking into a double signing from Porto that could see them bring in striker Samu Aghehowa and midfielder Victor Froholdt for a combined £133m, according to TEAMtalk. Tottenham Hotspur and Atlético Madrid are also looking at the pair, which could lead to the Blues moving quickly for them. Even so, Porto don't want to let Samu leave halfway through the season, so the 21-year-old's release clause would have to be triggered for a move to happen, while an "irresistible offer" for Froholdt could be accepted.
- There is more discussion about Antoine Semenyo's future, as talkSPORT have suggested that Manchester City could make a move for the Bournemouth winger with Pep Guardiola feeling that there is an over-reliance on Erling Haaland to score the goals at the Etihad. Semenyo will have a £60mrelease clause become active in January, and the 25-year-old was described as "an extraordinary player" by Guardiola earlier this month.
