TRENDING RUMORS

– Manchester United and Arsenal are both in contact with Mathys Tel‘s representatives in an attempt to force a move before the end of the transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano. Tel, 19, turned down the chance to join Tottenham earlier in the week after a €60m deal had been agreed with Bayern Munich. Now, though, Tel is considering his options over a potential move in the last 24 hours of the transfer window.

– Juventus are willing to activate the release clause to sign striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli when he returns from Galatasaray in the summer, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The Bianconeri are believed to have identified the 26-year-old as an ideal candidate to replace Dusan Vlahovic, who they are expecting to part ways with in one of the next two transfer windows. An offer worth €75m would be required to activate Osimhen’s clause, but the two Serie A clubs are set to discuss the move as sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli explores whether Napoli would be willing to accept a lower offer.

– Chelsea forward João Félix‘s future could be decided on Sunday, with AC Milan leading the way to sign him. The Italian club’s interest is described as “concrete” by Sky Sports Germany‘s Florian Plettenberg, with Rossoneri boss Sérgio Conceição a “big admirer” of the 25-year-old Portugal international. Milan’s cause could be helped by the fact that both Felix and Conceicao share the same agent, Jorge Mendes

– Borussia Dortmund have made an offer to sign Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, reports Sky Sports Deutschland. The Bundesliga club are reported to be keen to sign the 21-year-old on loan, and they have included a permanent option clause into their proposal that would enable them the choice to acquire him in the summer for a fee worth €30m. BVB are also said to be still monitoring Lyon attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki.

OTHER RUMORS

– Newcastle are rivalling north-east rivals Sunderland for Linfield’s highly rated teenage defender Matthew Orr. The 17-year-old has become a first-team regular after signing his first professional contract earlier this season and the Northern Irish Premiership leaders have already rejected a bid from League One side Stockport County.

A source has told ESPN that Newcastle are considering a move for Orr, primarily to develop the youngster in the U23 side, with Sunderland also ready to exploit existing links with Linfield, from whom they signed full-back Trai Hume for £200,000 in 2022. Sources said that Orr, who trains just two days a week with Linfield due to his determination to finish his college education, is the best prospect to emerge from Northern Ireland since Manchester United defender Jonny Evans and is ready for the step-up to the professional game in England.
