Man Utd in shock €120m deal as Semenyo move steps up – Transfer rumour recap

The transfer window may be over, but teams are already planning for January and beyond. Here are some of today’s biggest rumours.

Real Madrid ready €150m Rodri bid

Real Madrid are ready to splash out as much as €150 million to sign Rodri from Manchester City, according to the Daily Star.

Los Blancos are ready to lure the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner to the Spanish capital with a huge bid as they seek to use him as Toni Kroos’ long-term replacement at the Bernabeu.

It is claimed that Rodri is tempted to leave Man City due to the uncertainty hanging over the future of manager Pep Guardiola.

Meanwhile, the Cityzens hope to block the move by tying the player down to a huge new contract and hope the 29-year-old will finish his career with the club.

Man Utd face €120m Bruno bid

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is set to be offered an extraordinary contract to move to the Saudi Pro League during the January transfer window.

The 31-year-old has only 18 months left to run on his deal with the Red Devils, who are set to be offered €120 million as a transfer fee.

Bruno, meanwhile, will be offered more than twice his current way to move to Saudi.

Chelsea ready to make Semenyo bid

Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo has been one of the players to watch in the Premier League so far this season, and now Chelsea are ready to make a move for the Ghana star, according to reports in Spain.

With the Blues’ depth tested during an injury crisis at Stamford Bridge, they are seeking to recruit another forward-thinking player and believe that the Cherries ace is the man.

Semenyo has been linked to a string of major Premier League clubs in recent months, with Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Man City all associated with him.

Other transfer rumours

Man City striker Erling Haaland reacted to speculation he wants to sign for Barcelona with a huge transfer hint.

Liverpool attacker Florian Wirtz is already considering quitting the club, with Real Madrid monitoring him closely.

Man Utd are ready to make a swap deal with Juventus for striker Dusan Vlahovic.

Barcelona are seeking to make Marcus Rashford’s move from Man Utd permanent but want to knock down the price of his purchase clause.

Chelsea have ‘agreed’ a swap deal with Real Madrid that will see Enzo Fernandez move to the Bernabeu and Fede Valverde come in the opposite direction.

The Blues have decided against making a move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, despite him being available on a free transfer next summer. (The Express)
