Manchester United are targeting a transformative signing in January, with Sweden striker Viktor Gyökeres at the top of their wishlist. The 26-year-old Sporting CP forward, valued at £80 million, has emerged as a priority for the struggling Red Devils, desperate to bolster their squad to salvage their season.
Real Madrid is intensifying efforts to secure Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer next summer. The La Liga giants are pushing for a pre-contract agreement with the 26-year-old England defender to ward off any potential last-minute competition. Meanwhile, Liverpool may face a fresh approach from Madrid in January, testing their resolve to keep Alexander-Arnold for the remainder of the season.
Barcelona are eyeing Liverpool winger Luis Díaz. The 27-year-old is reportedly discontent over stalled contract talks at Anfield. Sporting director Deco is keen to bring the Colombian star to the Camp Nou, potentially exploiting this window of opportunity.
Arsenal remain favorites in the race for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush. The Gunners are also weighing a surprise move for Marcus Rashford, though they are reluctant to meet Manchester United’s over £25 million valuation for the 27-year-old. Rashford, however, has denied holding talks to engineer a move away from Old Trafford.
Fulham is bracing for renewed interest from Marseille in Brazilian midfielder Andreas Pereira. Crystal Palace’s Will Hughes is attracting attention from Premier League rivals Brentford, West Ham, and Fulham as his contract situation remains unresolved.

Manchester United could see significant squad changes, with Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Victor Lindelöf potentially available for transfer in January. The club is also open to loan moves for young prospects Harry Amass and Dan Gore to facilitate their development.
