Latest transfer news today: Man Utd eye £60m left-back as Liverpool target January midfield signing

With another round of Premier League fixtures getting underway today, several clubs already have one eye on planning for the January transfer window, quietly assessing where reinforcements may be needed.

Football Whispers looks at the stories shaping this morning’s backpages.

Richarlison still has Spurs exit route

Richarlison still has a potential exit route at Tottenham Hotspur after talks with Vasco da Gama collapsed in the final days of the window.

According to reports in Brazil, negotiations failed to progress, with the striker’s camp judging the scenario “unfeasible” and formally informing Vasco that he would not be joining his boyhood club.

A loan exit is impossible as Spurs have already hit FIFA’s limit, while he has not been named in Roberto De Zerbi’s 26‑man squad, meaning he faces time with the U21s until the window reopens.

Those close to him say interest from other clubs has already been registered, so a move in January remains firmly on the table, keeping Richarlison’s exit route open.

Man Utd monitor Adrien Truffert

Manchester United are closely monitoring AFC Bournemouth left‑back Adrien Truffert as a leading option to strengthen the position in upcoming windows.

According to reports, the 24‑year‑old has emerged as a major alternative to Luke Shaw, with the Red Devils already laying early groundwork after failing to add a left‑back this summer.

He has become one of the Premier League’s most reliable full‑backs, and it's believed that interest from a club of United’s size would be difficult for Truffert to ignore as they assess a January or summer move.

United view him as a strong tactical fit, and with Lewis Hall now off the market, Truffert remains firmly on their radar heading into 2027.

Liverpool eye Aleksandar Stankovic

Aleksandar Stankovic remains on the radar of Liverpool after the club asked about his availability during negotiations with Inter Milan for Curtis Jones.

According to TEAMtalk, the Reds used the talks to check on the 21‑year‑old’s situation, despite not being under pressure to sign a new midfielder even if Jones completed his move to Italy.

Inter made clear that Stankovic would stay, with Cristian Chivu keen to give him first‑team opportunities following his permanent return from Club Brugge, where he impressed as one of Europe’s standout young holding midfielders.

Liverpool are expected to reassess their midfield options in 2027, and Stankovic is among the players they will continue to monitor as his development at Inter unfolds.
