Bayern Munich join the Marc Guehi race
Bayern Munich are reportedly the latest European heavyweight to make contact with Marc Guehi's representatives, as the race for the defender's signature hots up.
While Guehi could leave for a fee this January, it is understood that several clubs are lining up contract offers for the 25-year-old for when his contract expires at Selhurst Park in the summer.
According to Florian Plettenberg, Vincent Kompany believes that Guehi could be the perfect replacement for Dayot Upemacano, whose contract at Bayern also expires this summer.
Plettenberg's report also states that Borussia Dortmund's Nico Schlotterbeck is another option for Bayern, but he would cost around £34m, hence the increased interest in Guehi.
Manchester United consider a move for Aurelien Tchouameni
It is the worst-kept secret in world football that Man Utd are on the hunt for a new central midfielder, and the latest reports in Spain indicate that they have their sights set on a move for Aurelien Tchouameni.
According to Fichajes, the Red Devils view the Frenchman as the perfect replacement for Casemiro, who looks destined to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.
The same report states that Real Madrid rejected a bid worth £80m for the midfielder in the summer, but are braced for more bids in January and next summer due to the competition for places at the Santiago Bernabeu.
While Tchouameni would certainly be an upgrade on an ageing Casemiro, he isn't the only midfielder being linked with a move to Old Trafford. Elliot Anderson and Carlos Baleba have both been heavily linked with Ruben Amorim's team in recent months.
Marc Cucurella emerges as a target for Atletico Madrid
Chelsea are reportedly bracing themselves for a bid from Atletico Madrid for Marc Cucurella this January.
According to a report by Fichajes, the full-back has been monitored by Atletico for several months, and they are ready to test the waters with a bid of £35.7m this winter.
Chelsea aren't said to be overly concerned about the situation, as Cucurella's deal at Stamford Bridge runs until the end of the 2027/28 season. As a result, they will be able to command a large fee should the Spaniard ask for a move to La Liga.
Cucurella's form for Chelsea has improved considerably over the past 18 months, to the point now where he is considered the best left-back in the Premier League. Therefore, the Blues will be desperate to keep hold of him.
