Sports Illustrated rounds up the latest transfer rumors and gossip from around the world.
Premier League
Barcelona are circling around Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch. The La Liga champions are prepared to offload several players to fund what would be an expensive move but are intent on snapping up a player equally admired by Real Madrid. Gravenberch hasn’t yet closed the door to the Spanish champions. (Source: Fichajes)
Arsenal have been quoted a price tag of between €80–85 million (£70.4–74.8 million, $92.5–98.3 million) for AC Milan forward Rafael Leão, which is considerably less than the €100 million Chelsea had been quoted. (Source: CaughtOffside)
Manchester United are expected to go in search of another forward-thinking player as soon as January. (Source: Indykalia)
That forward won’t be Endrick. United have been unequivocally ruled out of the race to sign Real Madrid’s Brazilian teenager. (Source: Fabrizio Romano)
Liverpool have been tipped to recall Harvey Elliott from his loan spell at Aston Villa in January, thereby removing the possibility of the English midfielder joining Unai Emery’s side permanently. (Source: Football Insider)
Long-term Barcelona target Etta Eyong has staked his claim to fulfil his “dream” of joining Chelsea. The Levante striker has also been linked with Arsenal and Man Utd. (Source: GIVEMESPORT)
