Man Utd make offer for Marcos Llorente
After ultimately deciding against pursuing Conor Gallagher, Manchester United have reportedly decided to target a different Atletico Madrid midfielder to bolster their options in the engine room until the end of the season.
According to a report in Fichajes, Man Utd have already submitted an offer for Llorente, and the Red Devils believe that he could be purchased on a cutback price, due to his age and status in the Atletico Madrid dressing room.
At the age of 30, Llorente has been a reliable utility man for Diego Simeone since signing for Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2019. However, could now be the time for him to go and enjoy a different experience elsewhere?
It is understood that Michael Carrick would love a new midfielder this January, but any incomings at Old Trafford are likely reliant on who leaves.
Donyell Malen to leave Aston Villa
Aston Villa forward Donyell Malen is reportedly on the verge of leaving the club, with Roma his most likely destination.
According to a report from Italian Journalist Filippo Biafora, Roma have already reached an agreement with Aston Villa over the sale, which will be an initial loan deal followed by an obligation to buy in the summer.
If the report is true and Malen does leave Villa Park this winter, then they will undoubtedly leave feeling frustrated about how things turned out for him in the West Midlands.
Malen has scored just seven Premier League goals for the Villains since making the switch from Borussia Dortmund last January.
Bayern Munich fancy their chances of signing Marc Guehi
The Marc Guehi transfer saga continues to rumble on, and Bayern Munich are the latest European giant to show an interest in the Crystal Palace defender.
According to Sky in Germany, Bayern are under the impression that Guehi would prefer a move abroad when his contract expires at Selhurst Park in the winter.
The fact that the England captain, Harry Kane, is among the playing squad at Bayern is another reason why Bayern chiefs are quietly confident about getting a deal over the line in the coming months.
It's also important to stress that the report states that Man City and Liverpool are still the frontrunners to sign Guehi, and that bids could come in for him as early as next week.
