TRENDING RUMORS

Atlético Madrid star Antoine Griezmann is on the radar of LAFC, according to Relevo. The MLS club are believed to have maintained their interest in the 33-year-old amid hopes of pairing him with fellow France international Olivier Giroud. Despite his contract being set to expire in 2026, it is reported that Griezmann is thinking about leaving the Wanda Metropolitano next summer.

Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, and Atlético Madrid are keen on PSV Eindhoven forward Ricardo Pepi, reports AS. The clubs are said to have already made enquiries to the Eredivisie side over a potential move for the 21-year-old United States international, and there is belief that they could be willing to part ways with him if a suitable offer arrives. Pepi has scored six goals in 11 league appearances so far this season.

– Optimism is emerging from Barcelona in the race for Bayer Leverkusen centre-back Jonathan Tah, writes Sport. The Blaugrana are believed to be “gaining ground” in the race for the 28-year-old, who is expected to leave his current club when his contract expires next summer. Bayern Munich have been linked with interest in a move for his signature, but there is also belief that Real Madrid could make an approach when the transfer window opens in January.

– Talks are ongoing between Manchester City and the representatives of striker Erling Haaland over a new contract, reports the Mirror. Negotiations are reported to be regarding an improved deal worth £500,000-per-week, which would see his salary become the highest in the Premier League. It is said that the Citizens also want to remove or alter the current existing £150 million release clause, and they could be willing to increase it to a fee of £200m. Haaland has previously been linked with Real Madrid, though speculation has cooled since their signing of France international Kylian Mbappé.

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to activate the one-year extension in the contract of forward Son Heung-Min, says Sky Sports Deutschland’s Florian Plettenberg. The 32-year-old is said to be keen to extend his stay with Spurs, where he will reach a decade at the club next August. The extension in his current deal will secure his future in north London until the summer of 2026.
