TRENDING RUMORS
– Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz is Bayern Munich’s top target next summer amid strong interest from Real Madrid and Manchester City, Florian Plettenberg reports. Talks have already taken place between Bayern sporting director Max Eberl and the 21-year-old’s family over a potential transfer. While the Bundesliga giants are prepared to spend over €100 million on Wirtz, they must first generate funds by letting some first-team players leave on permanent transfers. Nevertheless, making the Germany international Bayern’s top priority in 2025 was “unanimously agreed upon” internally at all levels.
– Florian Plettenberg also reports that Manchester United are considering a move for Atalanta midfielder Éderson. The Brazilian, who made his international debut for the Seleção earlier this year, is under contract at Atalanta until 2027. However, United, needing reinforcements in the middle of the park, could launch a bid for the 25-year-old as early as the January transfer window. Éderson is “highly valued” internally at United, although, as Goal Brazil reported earlier today, they could face stiff competition from Manchester City for the player’s signature.
– Manchester City are eyeing a potential move for Sporting CP winger Maxi Araujo, Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke reports. The 24-year-old has established himself as a rising star in European football this season, with his strike against City in the UEFA Champions League doing that reputation no harm at all. Araujo arrived at Sporting from Mexican club Toluca back in August, but already he has impressed City’s scouts with three goals and two assists in all competitions.
– Liverpool are set to launch an audacious second bid for Real Sociedad’s Martín Zubimendi in January, reports TeamTalk. The outlet reveals that a move is “very much on the cards”, despite Zubimendi rejecting a move to Anfield in the summer. Reports indicate that the Reds previously agreed to meet the Spanish midfielder’s $66.7m release clause, only for him to choose to stay put at Sociedad and sign a new deal. However, that contract is yet to be signed amid suggestions that Zubimendi has had a change of heart in the intervening months.
– Real Madrid youngster Endrick won’t be allowed to leave the club on loan in January despite attracting interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, that is, reports Ekrem Konur. The 18-year-old, who moved to Madrid back in the summer, is viewed as the side’s only real back-up striker to Kylian Mbappé. The news will come as a bitter blow to Juventus, AS Roma, Crystal Palace and Borussia Dortmund, who were all interested in signing the Brazilian this winter.
