Man Utd transfer news: The latest & LIVE player rumours from Old Trafford
MAN UTD IDENTIFY NO.1 JANUARY TARGET
Manchester United have made Valencia midfielder Carlos Soler their No.1 January transfer window target, according to The Independent.
Soler has impressed over the past 12 months for Valencia and Jose Mourinho wants to add the 20-year-old to his squad in the New Year.
The Spain Under 21 international signed a new contract with Valencia in May, which raised his release clause to €80 million, but United hope to agree a deal for around £40m and could also include
Andreas Pereira, who is currently on loan at the Mestalla, as part of any agreement.
MAN UTD WANT ATLETICO STAR
Manchester United want to sign Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, who has a €150 million release clause in his contract, claims The Sun .
Jose Mourinho is looking to increase the creative options in his squad and fancies adding Saul to his ranks next summer.
Mourinho will also fend off Atletico’s interest in Ander Herrera, with United to trigger the 12-month option in the Spain midfielder’s contract.
MAN UTD ON LINCOLN TRAIL
Manchester United have joined the race to sign Brazilian striking sensation Lincoln, claims Calcio Mercato .
Lincoln impressed at the recent Under-17 World Cup in India, and is already a target for Barcelona and Real Madrid.
United and Juventus are also monitoring the 17-year-old, although his club Flamengo will not sell for less than €30 million.
MADRID TO SELL BALE
Real Madrid have decided to sell Gareth Bale next summer after losing patience with the Wales international’s fitness issues, according to AS .
Bale is facing a further month on the sidelines due to a groin injury and he has not featured for Madrid since September, prompting the club to cut their losses on their record signing.
Manchester United had been interested in signing Bale over the summer for a fee upwards of €120 million, but Madrid feel the 28-year-old will now only command a maximum price of €80m.
If Bale is sold, Madrid will try to sign a new Galactico, with their sights set on Kylian Mbappe, who is currently on a season-long loan at Paris Saint-Germain.
MADRID RIVAL MAN UTD FOR ROSE
Manchester United are set to face competition from the likes of Real Madrid for Tottenham defender Danny Rose, claims the Daily Mail .
Reports had previously suggested that Rose would prefer a move to Old Trafford after also being linked with a switch to Chelsea.
However, with the 27-year-old previously commenting he has ‘one big contract left in me’, the left-back is now being tracked by Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.
MADRID TARGET LYON STAR
Lyon attacker Nabil Fekir has emerged as the latest target for Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, claims SFR Sport, via AS .
Fekir is enjoying an impressive campaign for Lyon and the 24-year-old, who can play as an attacking midfielder or striker, has been scouted by Barcelona.
Arsenal, Juventus and Manchester United are also reported to be interested in Fekir, and now Madrid are keeping a close eye on his form this season.
BARCA MIDFIELDER SET FOR NEW DEAL
Barcelona aim to hand Sergi Roberto a new five-year contract to ward off interest from Manchester City and Manchester United, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The Premier League duo have been linked with a move for Sergi Roberto, whose current deal expires in 2019.
However, Barca plan to extend his contract and increase his release clause from €40 million to €400m to ensure Sergi Roberto stays at Camp Nou.
MAN UTD TO SELL SHAW FOR £20M
Manchester United are prepared to sell Luke Shaw for £20 million during the January transfer window, claims The Times .
Shaw has been linked with a loan move to Fenerbahce, but is not interested in a transfer to Turkey as United look set to cut their losses on the left-back, who has been unable to make an impression under Jose Mourinho.
BARCA TO RAISE UMTITI RELEASE CLAUSE TO €180M
Barcelona will start talks with reported Manchester United target Samuel Umtiti over a new contract at the beginning of 2018, reports Sport .
Umtiti’s current deal expires in 2021 and he earns €3 million per year, with the French defender’s release clause standing at €60m.
He is in line for a wage increase and extension, while Barca also want to raise his release clause to €180m to ward off Premier League interest in Umtiti.
MOURINHO SCOUTING FORSBERG
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho spent his weekend off monitoring the progress of RB Leipzig forward Emil Forsberg, according to the Mail on Sunday .
Mourinho was in attendance at Sweden's clash with Italy as Forsberg impressed, and the Red Devils could yet make an offer in the next year.
FELLAINI OUT, FRED IN AT MAN UTD
Manchester United are targeting a January move for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred, according to the Sunday People .
The Brazil international has impressed for the Ukranian champions this season, and is also a target for clubs in Spain.
Any more by United will be precursed by Marouane Fellaini's departure, with an £8 million move to Besiktas having been agreed.
ATLETICO MADRID CHASE HERRERA
Atletico Madrid are looking to sign midfielder Ander Herrera on a free transfer at the end of the season, according to AS .
The 28-year-old's contract at Manchester United expires in the summer, meaning Atleti will not have to pay a transfer fee to acquire his services. Atleti are currently banned from registering new players, but will be able to add new signings from January.
ARSENAL SET OZIL ASKING PRICE
Arsenal will demand £30 million for Manchester United target Mesut Ozil in January, according to the Daily Star.
The Gunners appear ready to cash in on the German, whose contract expires at the end of the 2017-18 campaign, and Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho is eager to be reunited with a player he enjoyed coaching at Real Madrid.
MAN UTD AGREE DEAL FOR EMBALO
Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Benfica starlet Umaro Embalo, according to a report from the Mirror .
The 16-year-old, a right winger, has alerted European clubs having scored 15 goals in 18 games for Portugal's Under 17s but is yet to make his first-team debut for the Primeira Liga side.
MAN UTD TRACKING ARTHUR
Manchester United are tracking Gremio midfielder Arthur Melo, according to the Daily Mail .
The 21-year-old has impressed in the Brazilian top-flight and earned a first international call up for October's World Cup qualifiers.
Should United take their interest further, they could face competition from Chelsea, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid for his signature.
MOU TO LEAVE MAN UTD FOR PSG
Manchester United are now convinced that Jose Mourinho will leave to manage Paris Saint-Germain, according to The Sun .
While Mourinho's camp have claimed to be committed to the Manchester outfit, the club have their own concerns, believing that the inability to match the output of Manchester City and Pep Guardiola has the former Real Madrid and Chelsea boss ready to move on.
The lure of winning the Champions League with a third team is also thought to be big for Mourinho, and the belief is that he sees his chances of doing so of being much better with the French outfit.
MAN UTD MONITORING BARCA'S UMTITI
Jose Mourinho has marked Samuel Umtiti as a January target for Manchester United, according to the Mirror .
The Portuguese reportedly is keen to add to his defensive unit, with Victor Lindelof struggling to establish himself in the United side following his £30 million move from Benfica in the summer.
SHAW TO REJECT FENERBAHCE
Manchester United outcast Luke Shaw will reject the chance to move to Fenerbahce in January, according to a report from the Mirror .
The 22-year-old is not in Jose Mourinho's first-team plans at Old Trafford, having not featured in the Premier League this season, and is said to be available for a loan or permanent transfer in the new year.
MAN CITY PREP MILINKOVIC-SAVIC BID
Manchester City are ready to make an offer for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the January transfer window, according to Calcio Mercato .
The Serbian has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid, but City are aiming to beat their rivals to the punch by signing Milinkovic-Savic in the New Year.
MADRID LINE UP MATA BID
Real Madrid are lining up a surprise move for Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata in January, according to the Express .
Mata has been dropped by Jose Mourinho in recent matches and with his contract set to expire after this season, the Red Devils could garner a fee for the 29-year-old in the January window rather than let him depart for nothing in the summer.
Mata developed in Madrid's youth system, and could be tempted by a return to his roots with the Bernabeu club.
