Man United keeping close eye on Kerim Alajbegovic
Man United have joined a host of top European clubs in monitoring Red Bull Salzburg winger Kerim Alajbegovic, according to Sky Sports journalist Ben Heckner.
The Red Devils are reportedly scrutinising the 18-year-old’s performances, with hopes of making a move for the player in the near future.
As things stand, the player is valued at a little over £4m by Transfermarkt, though with his current deal running until the summer of 2029 and a host of European giants lining up for his signature, the end price is expected to be a lot higher.
Chelsea, Tottenham and FC Porto are among the other clubs circling the waters for the former Bayer Leverkusen man, who recently made history by becoming the youngest goalscorer in Bosnian national team history.
Liverpool ready to make a move for Joel Ordonez
Liverpool are ready to splash upwards of £35m for the signing of Club Brugge centre-back Joel Ordonez in the upcoming January transfer window, according to a report by Bolavip.
The Reds are said to be monitoring the player and are willing to offer the Ecuadorian defender a bumper salary in an attempt to lure him to the shining lights of the Premier League.
Liverpool are reportedly planning to make a formal approach for the player in January as they look to solve their ongoing defensive issues, which have seen the team concede 14 goals across their opening nine Premier League matches.
Ordonez is Liverpool’s primary defensive target, with the 21-year-old becoming one of the standout defenders in European football over recent years.
Inter Miami plot Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr reunion
MLS outfit Inter Miami are considering making a move for former Barcelona and PSG star Neymar Jr, according to a report by Sports Illustrated.
The American club want to reunite the Brazilian with his former teammate Lionel Messi, and they could get the deal done on a free transfer considering Neymar’s contract with Santos ends in December.
While the forward may not cost the club much in terms of transfer fees, he is likely to demand a sizable wage – especially with Messi earning upwards of £30m a year.
Another concern is the 33-year-old’s recent injury history, with the forward missing a total of 93 competitive games for his clubs since the 2023/24 season.
