Liverpool manager Arne Slot has dismissed speculation linking Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with a move to Anfield during the January transfer window. Addressing the rumors in a press conference, Slot emphasized his frustration with persistent transfer links, noting that most stories are unfounded. He reiterated that Liverpool is unlikely to pursue the Georgian star, despite widespread speculation.
Manchester City is expected to be active in the transfer market following a challenging first half of the season. Reports suggest the club has agreed to sign Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov for £33.5 million, aiming to bolster their struggling defense. The 20-year-old Uzbek international has earned 18 caps for his country. Additionally, City is negotiating with Eintracht Frankfurt for Omar Marmoush, indicating their determination to strengthen their squad.
Manchester United faces a critical need for reinforcements after a poor start under Ruben Amorim. The club is reportedly considering a swap deal involving Marcus Rashford and Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Rashford, seeking a new challenge, has attracted interest from Barcelona, with sporting director Deco pushing for a potential loan move. Meanwhile, United is also linked with Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani to address their scoring woes, holding advanced talks with the striker’s representatives.
Arsenal and Chelsea are actively pursuing transfer targets to keep up with Liverpool’s Premier League dominance. Arsenal is reportedly reigniting interest in Newcastle striker Alexander Isak after his recent goal against them. The Gunners may delay negotiations until the summer, with Newcastle likely to demand over £100 million. Chelsea, on the other hand, has shown interest in United’s Kobbie Mainoo, though the Red Devils reportedly value the youngster at £100 million.
Juventus appears to lead the race for Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani, with Tottenham also expressing interest. PSG is only willing to allow the striker to leave permanently or on loan with an obligation to buy. Meanwhile, Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has begun preliminary talks with Palmeiras, exploring potential options ahead of his contract expiration this summer.
Aston Villa is reportedly considering a move for PSG forward Marco Asensio, who is out of favor under manager Luis Enrique. The Villans are also weighing a swap deal involving Jhon Duran. PSG seems open to allowing Asensio to leave, which could pave the way for Villa to strengthen their attacking options. Barcelona and Napoli have also joined the race for Duran.
Arsenal stands to benefit financially from Mika Biereth’s impending transfer from Sturm Graz to Monaco. The Gunners inserted a significant sell-on clause when they sold Biereth, which could earn them a seven-figure sum. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Chelsea are eyeing Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran, though PSG appears to be leading the competition with a £60 million bid in preparation.
Lastly, Manchester United could secure Jonathan David from Lille, with the Canadian striker reportedly available for transfer. United’s attacking struggles have made reinforcements a priority. Additionally, Arsenal’s pursuit of Isak is intensifying, though negotiations may wait until the summer, as the Gunners weigh a significant investment to secure the Swedish forward.
